Goldenmean failed to make a play within 3 days of his winning the previous
trick with the king of diamonds, so he makes the default play of leading a
random card from his hand.  The 7 of diamonds was chosen as his lead.

The above is not the complete and correct list of definitions, as we have
a nine player game.  Even if one player did not submit a definition, the
definition "" must still be included as one of the options.

So sorry for the delay.

The following congruences were played for Round 12 of Abstract Crescent:

1: Alfvaen
10: IdiotBoy
13: else...if
14: TGW
33: Hubert
81: /dev/joe
and rufus yet again forgot to make a play.

So Alfvaen won the round, earning 5 points.

I now remove rufus from the game, for missing the last 3 (in fact last
six) rounds.

Scores:

27: /dev/joe
26: Alfvaen
22: Hubert
12: IdiotBoy
10: The Gingham Wearer
 7: else...if

If anyone wants to join, and the next round does not produce a winner,
then an email to me before I announce the next results will see you added
to the list.

The winning score is now 30.

Congruences (mod 6) for Round 13:

0: else...if
1: TGW
2: Alfvaen
3: IdiotBoy
4: /dev/joe
5: Hubert

Yours,

You made an assumption above that two players did not submit the same
definition.

I will also note that the previous round had only 8 posted definitions
even though we had nine players.

However, to be completely legal, I will now repost the 'complete'
list.

1. A flowing tree found throughout Asia.
2. A type of rodent, native to Japan.
3. A form of marsh grass, found primarily on the East Coast of the United
   States.
4. A thin, curved knife.
5. An oasis or watering hole
6. A dome-shaped structure built over relics of Buddha or Buddhist saint
7. Remote, isolated, desolate.
8. The home planet of Yoda in the Star Wars universe.
9. ""

I suppose I'm required to allow all bluffers who had previously submitted
votes to resubmit.  I'm not sure if I'm allowed to count votes submitted
on the previous list or not.

The previous round had only eight words because one player (you, in fact)
guessed correctly.  The rules say not to post that definition.  It appears
that you do need to send out the second list.

Don't they both need to be listed then?  Otherwise how would points be
scored for voting for definitions?

That was because someone submitted the correct definition.  It was
explicitly stated that no-one did so this time.

I don't think these are close enough to be directly linked.  "Biting
ridicule" is not enough of a cliche to constitute an invalid uh? word.  My
usual method (gracias a /dev/joe), a search on AltaVista for
'biting~ridicule', turned up only 42 pages.

Slakko's uh? word, "biting," stands.

Sam pulled it out of the casket and held it between his thumb and index
finger, turning it over and over and watching it glint in the starlight.

"Now what in blazes was this doing on an asteroid?" he wondered aloud.

"I told you you'd find it here, Romeo," said Elspeth from behind him.

Not in the least surprised at her sudden appearance, Sam turned around and
greeted her with a hug.  "You're tellin' me _this_ is the second part of
the Talisman of banna?" he said, staring at it incredulously.

She nodded, smiling as she took his arm.

"But Kirby said... one looked like a bowling ball, and --"

She was looking at him reproachfully.  It was true, Kirby wasn't the
sanest or most trustworthy of superhero impersonators.  Sam grinned.  

"Shucks, this is only a good ol' quarter from back in the U.S. of A.  We
use 'em for money there; they're a dime a dozen."  He flipped it in the
air, caught it, and chuckled as the asteroid dissolved around him into a
vista from another snowbound mountaintop.  He turned to look at Elspeth,
and suddenly realized that the Thin Man and Kirby 2600 were there too.
All three were looking at him expectantly.

Sam smiled, and gestured at the yawning cave in front of them.  His  
companions smiled back at him, even Kirby (who cut off his conversation
with the invisible six-foot rabbit), and side by side they set off into
the darkness leading to snowgod's castle . . . and to the third part
of the talisman of banna.
