No Final Four, no paper-rock-scissors... the game ended not with a bang, but with a failed grab. But, kudos to the winner, new Belt Holder and Wrangler... K 2! Your ex-Wrangler eagerly awaits the next game and the new addition to the Grab-A-Donkey rule. Anyway, here's what happened: Everyone but K 2 covered their donkey. K 2 attempted to grab Guy Fawkes' donkey, which failed but got him the win :) Final Scores: K 2 - 0 + 3 for winning = 3 points total. Final GAL:K 2 Thanks for playing, Grabbers :) - ------------------ Aaron Keesler Lotus Notes Administrator Intranet Administrator Adtran, Inc. - ------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Mar 1998 12:57:14 -0500 (EST) From: "Tom Walmsley" Subject: Re: Acka: Ghost Duel starting > TGW, start your letters!

Synopsis of thePhantom rounds: My carefully thought out strategy for the following rounds was this: Rounds 13-17 sees the grabbers dropping like flies after a string of successful grabs by me, attempts by the opposition to thwart my accession are foiled, largely by eir own greed :) These rounds, filled with gripping close calls and near misses, grabbed the attention of the entire Ackan populous raising the excitement level to fever pitch. the GAD stadium was packed - standing room only, and the member's gallery ran out of frinks. Finally in round 18 the scores are tied thus: TGW 5 K 2 5 I pick rock, TGW - scissors. ------------------------------ End of acka-games-digest V3 #52 *******************************
