That is correct, though it was actually just after the start of the day on the 21st, but still more than 6 days have passed since then. 867-5309, or whatever he's called today, loses 4 points, and the scores are: Slakko: 3 JT: 27 TGW/MTM: -3 867-5309: 9 Vynd: 8 /dev/joe: 14 And Vynd is brainiac. /dev/joe ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 03:46:12 -0400 (EDT) From: Eric Plumb Subject: Re: Acka: Eleusis Game 1 - Round 2 - Mr. Tambourine Man's Play On Tue, 28 Jul 1998, Tom Walmsley wrote: > > 8 D (else...if) | > > 2 S (867-5309) | > > 2 D (MTM) | A S (else...if(JT)) > > 7 D (867-5309[!]) | > > I play 7D.

Sorry, guys. Competence has not been high on my list of vices recently. In case you can't tell. For anyone interested, 'evzone' was actually a type of Greek soldier, and all the definitions I received (except for MTM's "to grin," in which e stated that e was bored) seemed to go off of the 'zone' concept, from the event horizon of a black hole to the area from which the full circumference of a rainbow can be seen. - - 867-5309 I tease my plants by watering them with ice cubes. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Jul 1998 10:11:58 -0400 (EDT) From: "Joseph W.
