I give "Unclaimed Winning Condition by Rule 13-2-1" to Wild Card and "Unclaimed Winning Condition by Rule 13-2-2" to rice. K 2 ------------------------------ From: K 2 Subject: Acka: Evil Math Troll?

The fact that I am the financier and that I am attemping an action that is only possible via an OD appears to be enought.
