This implies that it might be rufus, but that is unclear. --JT -- [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: Eric Plumb Subject: Re: Acka: Fictionary Continues Again Date: Fri, 24 Sep 1999 15:10:16 -0400 (EDT) On Fri, 24 Sep 1999, JT wrote: > Who was the correct bluffer so that they no not to vote? Let's put it this way: if you see your definition in the list, it was incorrect. Otherwise, it was correct. (Note: this does not necessarily apply to the first list posted. :-)) (Before you ask, there were no substantially similar wrong definitions submitted.) > > n-7 = 2 Bluffers -> rufus. > > This implies that it might be rufus, but that is unclear.
