<sigh>

The game is falling about me in pieces.

I am now looking for THREE (count 'em, three) replacements.  2 due to leaving
Ackanomia entirely, one because Snowgod is a lazy coot ;) 
(so why DID I vote for him for president.  hmmm...)

Alternatively, we could, with the mutual consent of the 4 remaining players,
terminate this game and try again at a later date.

OKAY, I stand corrected.  Still can't find this message on my machine, but
I will uncategorically state that Vynd did indeed not admire his donkey

Well, I'm glad *someone* has finally tried to grab my donkey.  I was
starting to feel a bit paranoid covering it for no reason.

In this, my fourth message of the day (go ahead, throw me in gaol :) I
state that the message quoted above was only my first public message of the
day, and if it wasn't it was because I still get confused by that four hour
time difference, but hell, I was at work when the day switched on the east
coast, so I know I didn't send any messages.  I count three (plus this one)

1) GAD Correction for Vynd
2) Live from Gaol
3) Live from Gaol II
4) This one, which is most certainly illegal, and probably was never sent
in the first place.

sorry, I couldn't help it.

This is the most pathetic, inane, and worthless guess at the Machine's
truth that I have seen during my time as Scholar.  O inestimably poor
student of *ping*, can you explain why your guess fails to even match
the pattern?  I suggest you invest in a box of hammers.

So the question of the hour is: is this a move in a treasure hunt, or
a clue to one of his own treasures?

  I think at this point, we'd be better off looking for players for a new
game.

I agree.  With only three original players, it would practically be a new
game anyway, but with an unusual initial set-up.

There is a 3rd alternative, although I am not sure of the Acka-legality of
it -- we could enlist outsiders to play. We could easily find 3 willing players.

I was going to breach that at some point anyway.  I have a good friend who
plays online Diplomacy.  He's an attorney and spends all day dealing with
"rules" and has no desire to invlove himself in our game, but he would be
interested in playing diplomacy here.  I suspect many of us know someone like
that.....
