4-Player Bulldog Chess: WareDude+Martin0 (formerly HorribleTomato V. SuperSam1+Fly_Eagles_Fly

So what was the final ruling on messaging? Did we rule against it?
And could we be allowed to communicate but ONLY on the thread here?

@HorribleTomato should do board updates, I'm just doing it now to illustrate. The white border indicates whose turn it is
The pieces will move like in bulldog chess (example game). The order of moves is clockwise:
red -> blue -> yellow -> purple.
If we're going to play a teams game, then the rules I suggest (which goes along the rules in 4 player chess) are:
Red and Yellow is a team against blue and green.
You cannot capture your teammate's pieces.
There is no en passant.
Pawns promote on your 13th rank
Checkmate only happens when a player's turn is reached allowing a player's teammate to intervene.
The first team to checkmate an enemy player wins!
Playing are: @WareDude (Red)--> @SuperSam1 (Blue)--> @HorribleTomato (Yellow- WHAT? I'm a TOMATO! I DESERVE RED!!!!)--> @Fly_Eagles_Fly (Purple)
