The word "abbots" is indeed in the Official Dictionary.

(As is "abbotship", "grabbots", and "subabbots".  So obviously the only
possible move for Vynd would have been "bbotsh".)

else...if has won the Duel.  And I lose three points.  :-(

Sorry Alfvaen.  I was thinking abbot myself once else...if played the o.
I knew that was probably what he had in mind but I couldn't think of an
alternative in time.  And it looked like I would win, but I somehow forgot
about that pesky plural...

                            - Vynd, going back to Double Crash I think

I may regret this, but...  I protest that "triva" is not found
within a word in the Official Dictionary.  (And hopefully I won't
feel as foolish as Vynd did with "bbots"...)

Wait a second....
The original post said:
The truth is," she continued, "IF AND ONLY IF today ** ******,
******** ** ********* *** ** *** ******* ****** ** ** THEN the Machine

is it just me or has "**" become "is" illegally?
