Depending upon how you interpret Rule 1209, it may prohibit me from doing that. I don't want to risk losing my scholarship. You'll need to check the Machine that goes *ping* page - it's accessible from the main Ackanomic web page. Yours, Slakko - -- Duncan C. Richer - aka Slakko the Lost Warner Brother - Now Really Lost!

Thin Man says he doesn't mind going ahead with his move, even though it was based on the board I posted. Red Barn also based his move on the board which I posted, and gave no opinion as to whether he wanted to change his move. On the one hand, he gained 3 points with the grid change, but on the other hand, his move is near to the area which was changed. More notes: Alfvaen, Red Bard and Two Star all gained a couple of infected viruses due to the neutralization of Guy's. /dev/joe now received a virus point for last turn. I discovered an error on the board while I was disinfecting Guy's viruses which gave Red Barn another cell. This is shown correctly on the web page board. If anyone finds a mistake, please let me know. I am going to assume that those three moves will remain as official, and I will post the new board today, as soon as I check my calculations. For those players who have not visited the web site, here are the official results of Round 15: ROUND 15 Moves: /Dev/Joe (/) - Place B16 Alfvaen (A) - Step J11 to I10 two-star (*) - Step M15 to M16 New Grid: X Y Z A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U 27 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27 26 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26 25 . . . . . . . . . . . / / . / / . . . . . . . . 25 24 . . . . . . . . . . / . . . . / . . . . . . . . 24 23 . . . . . . . . . / . . . . . . / . . . . . . . 23 22 . . . . . . . . . . / / / . / / . . . . . . . . 22 21 . . . . . . . . . @ . . / . . . . . . . . . . . 21 20 . . . . @ @ . .
