Round 2 ended. JT won the King of Spades by playing 9
of Diamonds, beating TGW's 2 of Clubs and Alfvaen's
Ace of Hearts. Alfvaen knew Aces are low (value 1),
but I better repeat it again for everyone.

Robert Sevin played the Three of Clubs. As a Prophet I declare this play
correct. Let's now wait and see if I'll be struck by lightining or have my
statement endorsed by Deus.

Robert Sevin played the Three of Clubs.  Prophet Ayla declares this a correct
move, and I concur.  E is still Prophet, Robert Sevin gets no penalty cards,
and it is not JT's turn.
