You forget the Temporal Corollary: The time a cat chooses to go to sleep
on a person who is not asleep themselves should be as short a time as
possible before that person wants to get up.

Subject: Acka: Eleusis G2R1 (Fortunato)

To recap: K 2 failed to play in time, so e did the default, "No Play".
Eir cards were posted elsewhere, so suffice it to say that Prophet Ayla
managed to correctly point out that not only was the "No Play" play
improper, but also correctly picked out the Queen of Spades as a correct
play.  K 2 receives 5 penalty cards.

It is now Fortunato's turn.

Players and Scores:
    Alfvaen         : 0  ( 0 cards) (Deus)
    Attila the Pun  : 0  (19 cards)
    K 2             : 0  (21 cards)
  * Fortunato       : 0  (18 cards)
    Ayla            : 0  (12 cards) (Prophet)
    Robert Sevin    : 0  (13 cards)
    JT              : 0  (13 cards)
(* denotes whose turn it is to play -- play will be entered only after Deus
   and prophet respond to the play)

Card ranks:
The cards in each suit are ranked A-K with Ace low(values 1-13).
There are no Wild cards.

grabs by Vynd and J. M. Bear.

Congratulation to JT who grabbed a donkey from Rex Mundi's herd.

The two Actrons this round were Helen Hunt and Harrison Ford. Ayla submitted
this Bacon chain:

1. AS GOOD AS IT GETS: Helen Hunt, Jack Nicholson
2. THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK: Jack Nicholson, Cher
3. MERMAIDS: Cher, Winoma Ryder
4. LITTLE WOMEN: Winoma Ryder, Susan Sarandon
5. THE CLIENT: Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones
6. THE FUGITIVE: Tommy Lee Jones, Harrison Ford

Alfvaen submitted this Bacon chain:

Helen Hunt, Jack Nicholson: "As Good As It Gets"
Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening: "Mars Attacks!"
Annette Bening, Harrison Ford: "Regarding Henry"

Either player may challenge the other player's chain if they wish for the
next three days. From my reading of the rules nothing prevents the next round
from starting now so you may now name your Actrons for round 2.

(Just as a test, I checked my wordlist which is supposed to be the

is bogus.)

I note that the Marldoom list has changed twice since the 2nd edition of
the OSPD was used.  In 1996 they changed to the 3rd edition of OSPD, which
was a small change of something like 200 words added.  The printed OSPD3
changed by the deletion of some 200 more words -- all the vulgarities and
words which only had meaning as a derogatory term for some race or other
group of people -- but the scrabble association *retained* these as allowable
words.  This year the scrabble association abandoned OSPD entirely; the
new list varies by some 200 words from the 2-8 letters words in the previous
word list, and adds 9 letters words as well -- moving the level of dependency
on MW's 10th collegiate up to 10 letter words, which occur quite
infrequently.  (By comparison, 9's happen occasionally, typically as plays
where a player adds all 7 of his letters to a two-letter word already on
the board.)

To see the history of changes in the OSPD, visit
http://www.teleport.com/~stevena/scrabble/faqtext.html
which includes (directly or by links to other pages) all the changes
in the history of the official lexicon for Scrabble.

I note that EAVY still should not be in Marldoom's list, as it is not in
my printed OSPD3 nor the list of changes, though I am still unable to
connect there.

Subject: Re: Acka: YORL duel play

We set to work immediately. As a new arrival I had much to learn and the
Abbot and the learned Brother Methuselah strove to impart their knowledge
as fast as they could reel it out.

For that day, and for day after day that week, and then that month, we
strove together to find a balance between my soul's own development and
the collected knowledge of the ages.

And through this all I spied on them, and watched, and waited. It couldn't
be the Abbot, because he didn't have the time to coordinate resistance
around his tyrannical educational sessions, at which we would argue
philosophy, discuss mathematics, and criticise the arts.

And then, one day, as I was ransacking the larder for the evening meal, he
walked in to the kitchen dressed in a way quite unlike any that I have
seen him before. Following Brother Methuselah, he was clad in a farmer's
brown cloak, and carried a satchel on one arm. A whispered conversation
ensued, after he stepped back, pulled his hat low over his head and with a
quick "Bye, Meth", stepped out.

And so, it appeared that not only was the Abbot the man I had to sell
to the Inquisitors, but it seemed that Methuselah, whom I loved well, and
who had been with me from the beginning of the life at the Temple, was his
partner in crime. And I knew very well what that meant.

I reported every two or three days to the Scarlet Fist, more to keep them
happy and Kate unhurt than in the intent of actually doing anything. After
the Kitchen scene however, I began to think. I had to tell them - they
wanted more and more, and I knew that this wouldn't be over until the
Angel had been caught. There was no way out so I did it.

And so it came that, four months and a week after I arrived, I returned
from a day spent gathering firewood to see smoke pouring from the back of
the Temple, and soldiers guarding the monks in a circle.

I'm trying to decide whether or not the Rules of YORL allow this sort of
thing to work.  However, since it only says "the last line of the message
should specify one of them", I'll consider this to have been a valid
play.  Though not, I hasten to add, necessarily successful.  I'll give
Mr. Tambourine Man the traditional opportunity to interrupt before
proceeding.
