I hang my head in shame. You are, of course, correct. I concede the
Duel.

I should probably take this as a sign, but what the hell. I'll play
you another game, if only to clear my good name.

Excellent!  Join me breadbox, it is your... destiny.

I've picked out a target word, so you can go ahead and start thigs off
whenever you are ready.  I believe that, if you care to make this an
"official" game (& contest) between us, the winner would get some kind of
cash prize by the rules, but I don't care either way.

Well, I'm still interested in getting rid of your evilly-named
Organization, so if you can think of anything I can put forth as a
fair wager to that....

By the way, before we start, can we agree to continue to play with the
rule that your Salvos must consist of words from the Official
Dictionary? (Note to self: submit proposal) If so, then I've selected
my target word as well, and we can begin.

Apologies from the referree for not posting the results of Round 10 yet,
however she has been dumped with five (I believe that was the last count),
yes FIVE calls for judgment and has been very busy fighting our tyranical
overlords as well.  I will post the results, if not today, then most
definately first thing tomorrow morning.

Sorry breadbox, "the Suprme Court" is here to stay. :)  Maybe I'll try to
have it rule on some of the backlog of cases you guys have, purely to help
you out of course.  Hrm, you were also the guy who took the strongest
exception to my naming my house Somewhere Else, weren't you? :)  Anyway,
yes, I will certainly play by the rules we used for the last game, written
down or not.  Therefore, I am announcing the begining of a game of Double
Crash between Vynd and breadbox.  My first salvo:

Salvo #1

1) angry
2) eagle
3) ionic
4) otter
5) uhlan
6) years

If I were you, i would simply refuse judgement on some of them.  I've
rarely seen a case where someone had to rule on even two judgements at one
time, 5 is certainly excessive.  Of course, you may have already accepted
them all, but I'm pretty sure that you haven't consented to judge the last
of the 5 yet.
