That was how I read the Rule, anyway.  So now that I have approved it, you
can pick a card.  Choose wisely.  :-)

Actually, the way the original Eleusis game went, she could have said 'No,
this card 'XX' is a correct play' and then you would have
approved/disapproved that.  Either way isn't much more work though.

Okay then, your bacon chains from Helen Hunt to Harrison Ford if you please.

Subject: Acka: Ghost duel - Alfvaen's go.

A Duel of Ghost has begun between Alfvaen and JT, and I am apparently
refereeing it.

Alfvaen has been randomly selected as first player.

Your turn starts now, Alfvaen.

Good luck (both of you, because of course I am neutral in this).

In the Ghost game described above, I start this round by playing 'v'.

With nothing much to lose at this stage, I note that anything which could
turn Kirby 2600 into the King must truly be a gift of the gods.

Great as the lure of parallelism is, I will instead play 'vy'.
