Mmmf, quite glacial.

Perhaps, a dash of spicy derailment?

If someone beats me in a minigame of
MS Paint 'Lines & Boxes';
I, Blargonaut, will Role-claim today (In-game Day 2).
But, if I win;
the loser has to Role-claim today (In-game Day 2).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE RULES OF THE DUEL.
- The first individual to download the image below and repost it with their move (draw it with Paint, rehost the image using Imgur or whatever, then post it in thread) will be the first designated challenger, and thus *IS OBLIGATED to play the match against me until it is finished.
- *NOTE: If the designated challenger backs out DURING the minigame, that counts as their Loss and thus they are obligated to Role-claim.
- I'll gladly accept to face as many challengers it takes until I am beaten, but the board resets with each new challenger and I get first move. Also, one challenger at a time.
- This is a game of honour. I'm a trooper of my word, and I will absolutely legitimately Role-claim if I'm beaten. But, if I win and the loser doesn't Role-claim before Day 2 ends, he/she officially has bad-sport coward cooties.
- If you play improperly or unfairly, I reserve the right to back out without obligation, if I choose to. I supplied a fair tutorial below for the unfamiliar, so there's no reason this should happen with anyone...
- It's simple, really.

GAMEPLAY CRASH COURSE.
Just in case you're unfamiliar, here's a Youtube vid that shows a match in action, explains it way better than I can:
'Lines & Boxes' Gameplay
Text-explanation below, if you can't watch it (
but you should, if you want to duel me properly):
- Each turn must be posted in its own separate image file; I post my turn/image, you post your turn/image, I post my turn/image, you post your turn/image, I post my turn/image, etc., etc.
- The gist: Draw lines between the black 'x' points, make boxes. No diagonal lines allowed. Only horizontal or vertical.
- We take turns. I get first turn. Draw ONE line per turn.
- However: if you manage to draw a line that completes/closes a box (is the final fourth side), your turn continues and you can draw ONE MORE line anywhere you want; after which, it switches to my turn as normal. The vid above best shows how this is done.
- If the opportunity presents itself, you can use this rule to chain-combo box completions/closings. Again, the vid above best shows how this is done.
- When you close a box, you own that box, and so you MUST draw your initial in that box. Vid.
- When marking a box; kindly use a different initial than mine, for box ownership clarity. I will be "B".
- The game ends when no more lines can be drawn and all possible boxes are therefore owned.
- The one with the highest amount of owned boxes at the end, wins.
- I really botched this explanation.
- IT'S SIMPLE, REALLY.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And so, I'll make the first move:
Now, who here's got the tauntauns to gamble with their Role... for mine?
