Until now I haven't got any moves in a private message from Alfvaen :) So unless someone objects against it. Alfvaen can still send in moves to the referee and the first three moves send on a correct way are his starting moves.

Therefore, the players who did not move during > the first turn are still limited to one move in all subsequent turns. The first turn of 5 players has ended. Also the first round has ended. Every new player may start at any turn before turn 10. Every new player may make three moves on his first turn. I say that snowgod, You can call me al and Alfvaen are new players until they have made their first turn. BTW we have a new player he call heself Alfvaen and his playing with the A's. - -- CarsesraC, expert on Viruses Buy the PFCarser at a sheap price of A$1.00 a piece ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 3 May 1997 09:02:29 -0500 (CDT) From: Guy Fawkes Subject: Re: Acka: Viruses discussion On Sat, 3 May 1997 carsrac@dds.nl wrote: > The first turn of 5 players has ended.

It is perfectly within the rules for Alfvaen to start with the opening three (though the rule seriously disbalances a game like this, when one player is allowed to start with gusto after all the others have lost their mobility). However, in my interpretation, all the players who signed up for the first round yet did not submit a move are limited to one: they are not new players because they were on the player list submitted according to Rule 1250.1 (The most precedent of the G&C rules) at the beginning of the game. I construe this to mean that their inactivity for the first round does not extend their newness.
