Subject: Acka: Round 6

Well, Round 5 (misnamed in the subject, but Round 5 nonetheless) has come
to a close.  Silently, we mourns its passing, for it was truly a great
among Rounds.

Rex Mundi snatched Voting Gnomes' donkey with a well aimed lariat, but
went down to the roping skills of ThinMan, who grabbed his donkey.

/dev/joe covered his donkey, and snickered as Fortunato tried in vain to
grab it.

two-star covered his donkey, and sat quietly at his desk.

As a result of all of this, Rex Mundi and Voting Gnome must be bid tearful
farewells.  The GAL is now short indeed, be wise in your manueverings.

Heh, I wasn't going to say anything when Slakko did it, since I had
already sent in my move and was just going through the rest of my mail,
and now I've done it.  Grr.

As long as I'm talking about Mediocrity...  Do we really want to keep
playing?  The game isn't very interesting with 3 people, in fact its
downright mindless.

Well, the plays are in, but it will probably take me about 2.5 more days
to finish tabulating the immense number of plays.  <sound of twiddling

Well, if either of you wish to cancel, simply don't return the results of
a round, or don't announce the next one.  The game will be reduced to 2
players, and will fold.  I think.

I assume you'll be voting YES on my amendment to fix this. :-)

Subject: Go Duel

This discussion has been moved to acka-games, and this particular
post is sent to acka-games-priv so that the participants can simply
reply with their moves.

In an astounding coincidence, Alfvaen and Slakko chose the same
opening move.  After round one, the grid looks like this:

  1 2 3 4 5
a . . . . .
b . . . . .
c . @ . . .
d . . . . .
e . . . . .

A = Alfvaen
S = Slakko

Round two is now beginning.

In a stunning break from conformity, Alfvaen and Slakko have decided
to make different moves in round 2 of their duel.  The current grid
is:

  1 2 3 4 5

b . . . . .

A = Alfvaen

Not yet.  Of course, "not yet" as I'm writing this, not logged on to the
Net, may not be the same as "not yet" when the message goes out.  But it
should happen sometime on the evening of December 5th.
