As a matter of fact, I am casting my vote for #4. snowgod "I played an epic game of fictionary, and all I got was this stup tag line" ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 13:00:06 -0700 From: Brian Raiter Subject: Acka: Fictionary Results Thank you, snowgod. To recap, here were the definitions: 1. Possessing a wavy or ruffled edge; wavy or ruffled. 2. An explosive mixture in the form of a colloid, often used by British construction crews in the late 19th century. 3. Sophistical. 4. A type of brick, characterized by its yellowish color. 5. A bright blue semiprecious gem. The true meaning of "ceratine" is definition three: "sophistical". (Sophistical, by the way, is apparently just an alternate form of sophistic.) Here are the results: Wrote Voted For /dev/joe 5 2 snowgod 2 4 ThinMan 1 4 Malenkai 4 2 I have to admit that this round did not go at all as I expected. I had guessed that /dev/joe's definition would receive the most votes. Shows what I know. Anyway, here are the results: 5a.i: Each Bluffer receives 1 Gamepoint for every player other than himself who voted for his definition. Thus snowgod and Malenkai receive two Gamepoints apiece. 5a.ii: A Bluffer receives 2 Gamepoints if he voted for the Actual Definition. Nobody this time. 5a.iii: If no one voted for the Actual Definition, the Brainiac receives 2 Gamepoints. That would be me. Previous Round 16 Total /dev/joe 28 0 28 snowgod 9 2 11 Thinman 11 0 11 xebra bod 22 2 24 Malenkai 13 2 15 Only ThinMan submitted an adjectival definition, and thus all others are subject to ridicule. I hereby pass the title of Brainiac on to Malenkai, who will be the last player to hold it for the seventeenth round of this, our four-going-on-five-month-long game. Take it away, Malenkai! xebra bod ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 22:35:03 -0400 From: Malenkai Subject: Acka: Fictionary The Ing word is "korin". Submit your definitions privately. Malenkai Brainiac ------------------------------ End of Ackanomic Games Digest V2 #51 ************************************
