I somehow didn't consider the possibility that you would pluralize the word. Ah, well. I salute you, Alfvaen!

However considering only four people moved, I'm not too worried. Hopefully, the other players have caught up with various business and will post their moves in time, though judging from this week, they may not have to. Two Star recevied another virus point and didn't even send in a move! As this is the end of round 11, sudden death play will now commence. Therefore it is my sad duty to declare that Voting Gnome, who had no cells at the end of this round, is out of the game. As always, please feel free to check the grid for human errors.
