Sorry again about the delay in reporting, I have little net access over the weekends, and none this weekend. Here's what went on this Round: Rufus - 5 Alfvaen - 6 /dev/joe - 7 Atilla the Pun - 8 Rex Mundi - 9 JT - 10 IdiotBoy - 13 As is pretty obvious, Atilla the Pun once again chose the most Mediocre number, and gains his second GamePoint. Current scores: Atilla the Pun - 2 Rex Mundi - 1 Everyone else - 0 Reply to this message with your newfangled number :) - ------------------ Aaron Keesler Lotus Notes Administrator Intranet Administrator Adtran, Inc. - ------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 18:18:40 -0400 (EDT) From: alfvaen@telusplanet.net (Aaron V. Humphrey) Subject: Acka: The Machine In my dream, I was walking by the side of a stream, eating pistachio ice cream, and paper by the ream When weeping I did hear; I started to draw near, without a shred of fear, and by the banks of a lake so clear Was a flea made of steel, of aspect almost unreal, whose sobs like bells did peal, like the barking of a seal. 'Twas not Phoebe by name, but her twin of the same, who liked to play a game, not with matches and their flame But with the Machine that goes *ping*, and softly to me she did sing, but of what she said I cannot remember everything: IF AND ONLY IF today *** **** ******* * ******'* ********** ********* ** '**********' ** '*****', THEN the Machine That Goes *ping* shall go *ping*. To ask her further was no use, because then came a Goose, all coloured chartreuse, in its beak a kazoo held loose And when I awoke, it had all been no joke--in a cloud of curling smoke the Machine sat in my house, and now I laber as Scholar in its yoke. - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/alfvaen/ ) Current Song--Deep Purple:Fireball Current Book--Stephen King:The Two Dead Girls "Let's go knock the hell out of that man trying to stab that poor tree to death." ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jul 1998 23:51:34 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Plumb Subject: Re: Acka: Eleusis Game 1 - Round 2 - 867-5309's play On Thu, 9 Jul 1998, JT wrote: It seems I've defaulted to 'No Play.'
