I think the main reason I passed last time is that I got confused about when the period for my turn started--when I posted my play, or when it was accepted. Obviously the latter, but I was thinking the former. There should maybe be some provision to eject a Bard who is asleep for three rounds in a row, though, or something. - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/alfvaen/ ) Song In My Head--Aztec Camera:Everybody Is A Number One Current Book--TesseractsQ 'Cause it's my destiny to be the King of Spain... ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Dec 1997 22:19:16 -0700 (MST) From: alfvaen@telusplanet.net (Aaron V.

Part of the problem is that after so many sleeping players recently, it becomes too easy to forget about it. But I want to see it continue. /dev/joe ------------------------------ End of acka-games-digest V2 #207 ********************************
