There should be no more delays in posting results, since I finally used up all of my vacation time :) Here are the plays for the previous Round: Atilla the Pun - 1 Rufus - 2 (random) Alfvaen - 4 (random) Rex Mundi - 6 /dev/joe - 7 JT - 8 IdiotBoy - 10 Therefore, 6 is the most Mediocre number, and Rex Mundi gains a Gamepoint Current scores: Rex Mundi - 3 Atilla the Pun - 2 Alfvaen - 2 Rex Mundi - 1 Everyone else - 0 Reply with your next apocryphal play. - ------------------ Aaron Keesler Lotus Notes Administrator Intranet Administrator Adtran, Inc. - ------------------ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Aug 1998 13:20:39 -0400 (EDT) From: alfvaen@telusplanet.net (Aaron V.
