I'm afraid that if e actually has those cards either one or both of them
are incorrect.  If JT can verify, perhaps we can get on to the next Deus.

He does in fact have both of those cards.  I was unclear as to whether he
was playing them one at a time or as a group.  If he was playing them one
at a time, I need to know from 867-5309 whether the first or second was
incorrect to give the accurate points for the final round.

If it's worth anything I was attempting to play them one at a time.

Subject: Acka: Bacon

IIRC I was refereeing two bacon games before I went on vacation, one between
Alfvaen and Ayla, and another between Alfvaen and K 2. Ayla is now on
vacation so I can't continue the first but if K 2 and Alfvaen could possibly
resend me their moves for the previous round then I could continue refereeing
that if you two are still interested, else I could declare it moribund.

Not knowing who K 2's actron was, I didn't send in any move, but I would
still be willing to try again if e was.

Okay then. Alfvaen failed to send a bacon chain and K 2 sent the following;

Fort Massacre: Irving Bacon, Forrest Tucker
Thunder Run: Forrest Tucker, Tom Dugan
Radio Flyer: Tom Dugan, Tom Hanks
Joe Versus the Volcano: Tom Hanks, Nathan Lane
Mouse Hunt: Nathan Lane, Maury Chaykin

If Alfvaen wishes to do so e may challenge K 2's chain. Both players may now
name their actrons for the next round.

I would like to challenge this, if only because I've only heard of two of
the ones in the chain...

I would also like to ask my opponent if e got all that from memory,
or if e is using some non-Movie Database source.  If so, then I will
feel unconstrained to use one of the latter myself.  If not, then perhaps
I have met a worthy opponent...:-)

I will name Edward James Olmos as the next actron.

I did extensive pre game research so that I could commit some highly obscure
actrons to memory. I lucked out with Maury Chaykin cause e is in Mouse Hunt which
is still playing in Australia....

I name Tom Dugan :)

Okay then, at the advice of K 2 I checked Radio Flyer first and found that
Tom Hanks did appear in it (an uncredited role) but Tom Dugan did not (unless
of course e meant the 1924 film the radio flyer which featured neither of
them). For the record I hadn't even *heard* of any of these films, and only
one of the actrons. I will remind you both now to submit a Bacon chain from
Edward James Olmos to Tom Dugan. Neither of whom I have heard of incidentally
:-).

It's not there obscurity, it's just my total lack of knowledge about films.
(There now, I've said it and I'll be most displeased if I challenge someone
to a duel and they challenge me to Bacon now :-).
