Reasoning: The Magic Number is 233. The rule mentioned above makes it a Priveledge of the Illuminatus to win by points if it is publically knowable that eir score is greater than 5/6ths of the Magic Number. 5/6ths of the Magic Number is 194. According to K 2's current score page, I have a score of 202. 202 is greater than 194. K 2 also posted a message showing that I had passed (and how) the 195 point mark. Therefore this CFJ should be ruled TRUE. Judge's Reasoning: None -- -Henry Towsner Thank heavens, the sun has gone in, and I don't have to go out and enjoy it. -Logan Pearsall Smith ------------------------------ From: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka: Bye Date: Sat, 16 Jan 1999 12:42:29 -0500 (EST) On Sat, 16 Jan 1999, Duncan Richer wrote: > On Sat, 16 Jan 1999, Towsner wrote: > > > >I leave Acka. > > I also support nominating Trent into the Hall of Elders. > > As do I. > -- I too support this nomination.
