It is Karma's turn. Malenkai ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 10:00:35 -0400 From: "Michael James" Subject: Acka YORL Stutim lay just outside of the battlements of a huge city, it was nightfall. A guard tower stood tall to his right and two guards were visible in the distance to his left in front of a double city gate, easily 150 feet in height. As far as he was from the city, he guessed about a half a wheel or so, the walls of this city still seemed to tower above him, and beyond even the walls he could see a tower looming up into the night so immense was it that the top dissapeared, swallowed by the fog that seemed to lurk only over this massive metropole. The face of the princess came into his mind as he tried to grasp the enormity of the tower that lay ahead of him. The guards had not seen him yet and as he looked again at the guard tower to the right he made out a single guard slumped over and decided he was sleeping, leaving only two guards to contend with. As he approached the gate Stutim observed that the guards were very loud and didn't look at all like they were patrolling. They appeared drunk. Above to the right he could hear the tower guard snoring generously.One of The guards finally noticed him after he was well within dagger throwing reach. "AHH.. Halt! Goo hoes shere?!" one guard slurred. The other guard had his back turned to Stutim thus far and span around, which looked rather clumsy> He swayed left and right, nearly falling as he attempted to hold out his spear menacingly. "Should I impale 'im now, Nobby?!" he screamed in a shreiking voice, even though Nobby, his watchmate, was right beside him. "No, No." Nobby answered, "'E might 'ave a passh, *hic*Grodin." Nobby, appearing to be the senior guard when the tower guard is passed out now adressed Stutim, "Shtate yer bishnesh *hic* stranger." Stutim smiled, an ear to ear grin, "Good evening esteemed city guards, is that your captain that's reposing?" he purred. "Yeah, 'e 'ad a long night and took unconcious sho we're letting 'im shleep it off *hic*." Nobby answered smiling back. "Now Nobby?! should I kill 'im now?!" Grodin offered. "Stuff a sock in it Grodin, we aren't gonna kill this fine young lad..." Nobby continued "What were we talking about..?" "Feldane," Stutim volunteered "My name is Feldane, and we were discussing how great it feels to have the captain put his trust in you enough to leave you in charge." - -Karma play (unconcious) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Oct 1997 13:18:22 -0400 (EDT) From: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka YORL On Fri, 24 Oct 1997, Michael James wrote: > Stutim lay just outside of the battlements of a huge city, it was > nightfall.

The rules do not appear to prevent an interruption from being accepted in the case that it is submitted before the barkeep rejects the play it is based on. They specifically allow for an interruption to be _submitted_ before the Barkeep rules on the base play. I think that could use a little patchwork. Of course, I see through my crystal ball that Vynd's interruption is destined for denial anyway, on other grounds. But that thing has been known to be wrong before.
