      @e1123581321345589144 Eh, historical knights were nobles and were more likely to be captured for ransom than killed on the battlefield. Horses are also not suicidal- Generally speaking, the reason you don't cavalry charge in the front of a formation is because the horse doesn't particularly want to impale itself on a wall of amassed spears.

      Yolp taught Jdawg that ruthlessness is mercy upon themselves.
      For when they chose to spare Yolp, they paid the price as Bizarre fell immediately after. From then on, they realised: being merciful to one's foes risks one's own losses.

      @entropysquid it was bad but when you think about each pieces mindset you see that it played out like a real war
      Captain was a strategic murderer every move was precise and gave insane advantage
      Yolp was a pacifist only taking when his hand is forced and taking detours to reach his destination
      Each piece had a personality and played by it so in the end it’s not about the review of the game but of the players… o7

      Yeah I like that he killed the fan favorite Yolp, the guy literally went after their ruler and yet everyone still said to spare him and forgave him for it. It’s crazy how easily Yolp could have taken advantage of American’s feelings in that moment to get the higher advantage which is what he actually did but upon not succeeding I assume that’s why he dropped back.

    • @Abjadep
      @Abjadep 2 months ago +57

      I think it's yuri or atleast straight because all chess pieces are female, I think. This is because a pawn can become a queen, therefore all pawns are female.

    • @Raiz3d
      @Raiz3d 2 months ago +103

      ​@AbjadepI'd argue otherwise, and say that all chess pieces are gender fluid because they cannot just become a queen, but also a knight, bishop and tower. But that's just a theory. A gender theory.

    • @brendansage6876
      @brendansage6876 Month ago +33

      It's at the very least straight because American transformed like Sailor Moon.

    • @gabeitch9142
      @gabeitch9142 Month ago +5

      ​@Abjadep that assumption doesn't consider the rest of the pieces. And king and queen are gendered terms. So king is definitely male.

    • @PolarNitaIsTired
      @PolarNitaIsTired Month ago +14

      ​@gabeitch9142tho their beginning sentence is incorrect ("all pieces are female") because of he existence of king, I think what they meant is that all pawns might be female because one of the options to transform is queen, but can't be king.
      And since we can't gender a god damn tower, a horse and bishops are of unknown gender, that's the closest hint of how we could definitely the gender of the pawns

      @L@LuXoR330white pawn didn’t checkmate, the idiot moved so that black didn’t have a valid move, but wasn’t in check, so it’s a draw.

    Huh, this actually puts an interesting spin on chess, because of the nature of how each team can collaborate which move to make. It changes the priorities of the game, do you sacrifice yourself for the powerful pieces like normal, or do you potentially sacrifice a powerful piece do kill a pawn that has been making a lot of the smart choices for the other team? There needs to be a website like that of Codenames or Garticphone so that this version of the game can be made public because it is very interesting

      For real. It also allows for errant personality flavor to add a bit of chaos into the game. Instead of min-maxing each move, personal rivalries and vendettas crop up, and some pieces end up acting out of their own interests instead of those of the team. What started as a meme game ended up developing to be a fascinating exploration of team dynamics!
      The only problem with making a game like this automated is… who is the ref? Who has the final say in actually moving the pieces? The king of each side? But then how would the game allow for pieces going rogue and adding excitement?

    • @dram3711
      @dram3711 2 months ago +21

      It could be that everyone can decide to move and its randomly selected, and those who hold off their own movement gain more and more move priority until they decide to move. Sounds sick.

      After reading the above comments I kinda feel like making this into an online game would be impossible, at least not in the same way it played out in this video. Doug Doug himself is an essential part of this. Maybe they could use an AI referee? Idk, i feel like that would take a lot of the fun out of it. They could also pick a random player to be the ref, but obviously that would lead to shitty refs trolling 90% of the time, and that would just be incredibly frustrating. And you cant just ban trolling all together, because Doug Doug allows a sensible amount of chaos which is why this stream is so entertaining, but it would be difficult to design straightforward rules for an online version that allow a little chaos but not too much. I feel like you just need a human referee with common sense and a good sense of humor for this. Doug Doug should just do these streams annually, or even monthly. Seems like so much fun.

    • @Rylocand
      @Rylocand 2 months ago +20

      @Hawksearcher maybe like the pieces themselves have the final say in what they choose but there's like a discussion time where they can't move and like pieces on one side can decide to kill their own pieces (in cases like deciding to rebel against their king or to execute disobedient pieces)

      This is genuinely one of the best pieces of DougDoug improv i've ever had the pleasure of viewing. The overall goals, actions, emotions, and morals all combined into one giant act of violence and prejudice that eventually culminates into the main plot of love and forgiveness, followed by grief and vengeance, and culminates to the final and grand act of tactical suicide as the Black King is left alive but with no one and the White King never won the war. Both sides lost, and the only thing that's left is broken relationships, and broken kingdoms.

    - everyone is eager at the start
    - realize perfect coordination is impossible so everyone loosely cooperate with each other instead
    - actual battles and deaths are actually much rarer and fewer than everyone expected
    - the realization that war is actually more busywork than fighting settles in
    - the war begins to drag on and either side can't make significant progress
    - the war ends up going on for far longer than either side expected
    - people either start losing interest in the conflict, forget what they were originally fighting for, or realize the whole conflict was a pointless mess
    - the war ends in an indecisive situation where neither side actually won despite committing and losing almost everything they had to offer
    - both sides are worse off after the war than before it

      @Diap3redbunny 3 months ago +88

      Well, besides the illegal move Doug immediately made at 50:24, you cannot move the king into a contested spot. If all moves around a king are a contested spot, they cannot move. This does not become a loss in Chess, but rather a stalemate. When the pawn at the end moved up in the last move, it contested the one legal move available for the king. When it became the kings turn, no legal moves were available and the game ends in a stalemate since their turn could not be completed.

      You know what’s so ironic about that? Doug’s fans are so insanely chaotic and destruction-happy that I feel like they’d be far more willing to play as Kaga intended than the reset-worshipping actual fire emblem fandom ever would 😂
      Seriously, we have such weak wills for perma death in a series that’s supposed to be played with it in mind, I genuinely bet that dougdoug’s fans would never back down. Now I want Doug to do a fire emblem playthrough.

    I loved the arc between Daamericangamer and Yolp, a one sided love story, then it turned into another one sided love story again, then they love each other again, making the queen rethink of ending yolk, but the queen's strict bloodthirsty king wants only victory, it ends in the queen giving in and killing Yolp, leaving Daamericangamer at grief, making him carry the legacy of Yolk being a rook, then the game ending in a stalemate with Daamericangamer grieving at the end.

    • @TamWam_
      @TamWam_ 2 months ago +32

      But for a brief moment, the queen did spare Yolp... only for Bizarre to pay the price for their actions, and from then on they refused to show another ounce of mercy, becaue ruthlessness is mercy among themselves.

    • @Silv1Soapi3
      @Silv1Soapi3 2 months ago +3

      ​@TamWam_ The queen was ordered by the ruthless king to execute Yolp, despite the queen's staggering attempts not to end Yolk, she was finally unfortunately gave in and followed the king's orders, thus making Daamericangamer's lover gone in an instant.

    So, the characters:

    - Neonthenoble, the friendly, somewhat unlucky Black King
    - Jdawg, the White Queen, clever strategist
    - Yolp, Black Rook, initially bloodthirsty, who falls in love with a Pawn
    - Americangamer, White Pawn, initially ready for war, who falls in love with a Black Rook and chooses pacifism
    - Cryonami, the traumatized White Knight
    - Bizarre, the White Pawn who just wanted to move
    - 16jpleasants, the peaceful, high spoken Black Pawn, who moved last
    Twitch Chat accidentally created full blown characters and it's both awesome and funny

  • @magnusadaoparticheli145
    @magnusadaoparticheli145 3 months ago +436

    This was literally peak. More character development than any movie i saw. Lots of emotions. We start the game with Stardust asking for peace, which is a nice foreshadowing to the end. The white king and Captainjdawg were hateable, but great villains. We have a twist villain in the form of Velie_, who was just confused and right before death realizes their wrongs. Yolp, the comic relief, turns out as a powerhouse, creating one of the best arcs of character development, and his love story with daamerican was incredible, it was enemies to lovers done right. The horses were incredible, and so were the bishops. We also had amazing pawns. The rooks were side characters, but great at their roles. The black side had a story of hope and determination, even when loss was clear. By the endgame, Kelo sadly falls to the dark side. At the start, we think it's just a battle with no right, but by the end, we can clearly see the white side is the villain...except for Daamerican and Cryonami, who finally realize Stardust was right, and peace was the best option, even though they sadly only realized way too late. Yolp, again, was amazing. Most deaths, even the early ones, were really emotional and enough to make a grown man cry. Vicere was a great strategist, and did all of their best efforts. And the end...there was truly no better way to end it. Sure, we lost many good characters, but in the end, seeing that all of that was irrelevant...really makes you take a reflection about life. Now, we pray for our good, fallen soldiers, as they hold hands and eat grass in heavens.

    • @griffinski8978
      @griffinski8978 2 months ago +21

      The best time to stop fighting was at the very start. The second best time was when they stalemated. Nothing can bring back those that were lost, but by white refusing to give into their fury at the end, there is still hope for their souls.

    • @magnusadaoparticheli145
      @magnusadaoparticheli145 2 months ago +5

      ​@griffinski8978 yes, that is true. While it would be better to choose peace at the start and so many lives could be saved, choosing peace in the end was better in the long run. If the white king agreed to truce at the start, in the end, other white pieces wouldn't have learnt that war is bad and left their bloodthirsty behavior behind. The outcome not only made some of the white soldiers realize peace is the best option, but probably also many of the white pieces around the world. We lost many good men and women, but we're now many steps closer to peace
