Round 5 is begining. Please send your moves to snowgod@alaska.net. Include GAD or Donkey somewhere in the subject line. Please note, Vynd, That I would have kept my promise if it wasn't for that darn supreme court. Also, aplogogies to anyone I have been grumpy to lately. It's been a rough week. And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for... The results: Malenkai covered his Donkey. Red Barn covered his donkey ThinMan attempted to grab Red Barn's Donkey IdiotBoy attempted to grab Techno's Donkey. You can call me Al also attempted to grab Techno's Donkey. mr cwm attempted to grab Malenkai's Donkey. Robert Sevin grabbed mr cwm's Donkey. The rest of the players admired their donkeys. ThinMan still may or may not have grabbed breadbox's donkey (I'll assume he did until a CFJ proves otherwise) mr cwm is removed from the GAL. ThinMan may or may not have 2 grabs and IdiotBoy may or may not have one grab. Robert Sevin certainly does have two grabs, and a couple players who have been removed from the GAD do also. breadbox, no longer active, has the lamb. The current GAL is: /dev/joe Idiotboy (1?) Malenkai (1) Red Barn (2) Robert Sevin (2) Techno ThinMan (2?) You can call me Al ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Apr 1997 09:21:47 -0500 From: "Bollinger, John C."

Would that I could safely ridicule you, but alas, my moonscreen disappeared along with the Machine. That being the case, I will instead say that your guess is wrong, but is on the right track. The Machine's actual truth was: IF AND ONLY IF today the day of the week contains the fifth letter of the alphabet, THEN The Machine That Goes *ping* will go *ping*.
