For goodness' sake! Is that still pending? Hell, I'll do it.

The order of play is ... (flipflipflipflipflip) ...

1. ThinMan
2. Alfvaen

ThinMan begins. No peeking at dictionaries or other reference
material. Go to it, folks.

Not allowing for Guy Fawkes' move, with the moves Balsamic Dragon posted I
get two minor differences in the grid I calculate:  One of /dev/joe's
cells should be at K16 instead of K15, and there should not be a cell of
ThinMan's at O7(I have it with four neighbours after all moves).  I shall
have it up that way on the Web page unless someone points out an error on
my part.

So...what was Guy Fawkes' move, for the Web page?  And so I can check your
results?  :-)

I don't have /dev/joe at either K16 or K15, however what I assume you mean
is that he should be at K16 instead of J16.  You are correct, that was a
type on my part.  You are also correct that there should not be a cell at
O7.  

Sorry, guys, I was really tired when I did this.  

Here is the corrected grid, including Guy Fawkes' move:

I'll put this up on the Web page...I'd still like to know what GF's move
was.  Or did he post it publicly?  :-)
