I agree, I wish I had a vote to cast for it.

Subject: Acka: Grab-A-Donkey Round 5 Results 

Grab A donkey round 5 has ended.  Round 6 is begining.  Please send your
moves to snowgod@alaska.net.  Include GAD or Donkey somewhere in the
subject line.   Please note, Vynd, that I am not even making an effore to
keep my promise anymore, whatever it might have been.

And now, for the moment you've all been waiting for... The results:

ThinMan covered his Donkey.
IdiotBoy covered his Donkey.

/dev/joe attemtpted to grab ThinMan's donkey.
Robert Sevin attemtped to grab IdiotBoy's donkey.

I love symmetry, and would grab it if it were a donkey.

The rest of the players admired their donkeys and the GAD remains
unchanged.  I remember someone grabbing the little lamb, but right now I
can't remember who. Whoever, though, it doesn't effect the game state.

The current GAL is:

/dev/joe
Idiotboy (1?)
Malenkai (1)
Red Barn (2)
Robert Sevin (2)
Techno
ThinMan (2?)
You can call me Al

SPECIAL BONUS END-OF-PAGE MESSAGE!!!!  IF YOU ARE ON THE ABOVE LIST BE
BRAVE AND SEND ME A MOVE!!  WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE BUT YOUR DONKEY???
TRIPLE YOUR MONEY BACK IF NOT SATISFIED.  ACT NOW!  OFFER EXPIRES IN THREE
DAYS!

Subject: Acka: Viruses starting grid

A small repost because I used ack: instead of Acka: 
the moves have still to be in before Tuesday.

Two players have send in their moves. So Im waiting on the moves from 
the others. If you are not the playerlist, but are a player of 
Ackanomic. You may send three moves and become a "Viruses" player.
