Each turn lasts three days from the time the referee posted the state of the grid before that turn. Please include the words "Acka: Viruses" in the subjectline. CarsesraC PS I have posted a little bit more information that I should do. But it is to make checking easier. If you see any mistakes please react I will correct them ASAP. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 1 May 1997 09:46:14 -0500 (CDT) From: "Joseph W.

All the others > may send in 3 opening moves. I don't think this is right. I quote rule 1250.16 "Viruses" >Each turn except the first turn, each player may make one move from >the allowable types. The first turn, each player may make three "Place" >or "Infect" moves. All moves are made by private messages to the >referee. The referee shall not reveal any move to any player other than the >one who made it until the end of that turn. The first turn has ended. Therefore, the players who did not move during the first turn are still limited to one move in all subsequent turns.

I hereby thwack myself with the Salmon of Correction. I would be deeply obliged if anyone who was involved in the current game of Viruses could delete my previous message unread. If not, then I will withdraw the moves and try again next round, when I might be more together. - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.terranet.ab.ca/~aaron/) Song In My Head--Amanda Marshall:Dark Horse Current Book--Alistair MacLean:Where Eagles Dare They may eat lamb or stroke each other. ------------------------------ End of Ackanomic Games Digest V2 #57 ************************************
