If I gave that impression, that was incorrect. acka-priv@ackanomic.org does not work. ackanomic-priv@ackanomic.org *does* work and that is what I was changing the postal code to reflect. Basically it's an edit that I missed when I was working on it initially. --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: "Duncan C. \"Slakko\" Richer" Subject: Re: Acka: Snore Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 05:37:55 -0500 (EST) On Sun, 29 Nov 1998, Aaron V.

(Round 8) Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 08:21:36 -0500 (EST) For the Post-Thanksgiving round of Grab-A-Donkey... Alfvaen snatched at the lone donkey of Thomas Jute. He succeeded in grabbing it, but only because Thomas Jute was sneakily stealing one of his donkeys. One of Alfvaen's donkeys headed for the Wilds. Pol Pot covered his small herd, just in time to prevent Slakko from getting one of them. IdiotBoy covered his donkeys, foiling the attempts of /dev/joe to get them. Robin Hood snatched one of /dev/joe's donkeys in the meantime. /dev/joe's remaining donkey spooked and ran off. Current GAL: Alfvaen IdiotBoy Pol Pot Robin Hood Slakko Thomas Jute Current Scores: Robin Hood - 4 IdiotBoy - 3 Pol Pot - 2 Slakko - 2 Thomas Jute - 1 Alfvaen - 1 Reply to this message with the next play of your choosing.

Check it out, correct it as you see fit and let me know. If there are no changes I'll forward this reasoning on to Slakko.

Since the actions under consideration in that CFJ occured in order (and even via /dev/joe's BT reasoning) r-attila the farce did possess the trinket necessary to convert into the A$ which created the new trinket. Given that r-attila the farce had the trinket 'r-attila the farce is happy' at the beginning of his sequence of actions, the actions proceeded in order as reasoned by our judgement on CFJ 698. Thus, we, the Cortex Amicus Draconis find this CFJ to be TRUE, and impose a penalty to the appealer of 6 points. --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: JT Subject: Re: Acka: CFJ 699 (1-TRUE) (Amicus Draconis) Date: Mon, 30 Nov 1998 23:03:26 -0500 (EST) On Mon, 30 Nov 1998, JT wrote: >Again, the reasoning follows below.
