Since JT reminded me I can, I play

2 C, 3 H, 5 D, 7 H.

And we'll see.

Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes.

867-5309, Small Mew Toy, or whatever he is called today attempted to play:
> 2 C, 3 H, 5 D, 7 H.

This is incorrect.

BTW, referee, can we have a [symbol] to indicate when the prophet failed?

Subject: Acka: Eleusis G2R1 (Fortunato)

As near as I can tell, the passage of Proposal 3314 unfroze the game, which
had been frozen upon Ayla's departure into Inactivity.  It was K 2's turn
before the freeze, and in any case three days have passed since the freeze
ended, so I believe that K 2 has failed to post a play.  Luckily, this
no longer means a default "No Play", but instead a random play from K 2's
hand.

This random play is the Ten of Spades.  This play is unfortunately
incorrect, and K 2 receives 2 penalty cards.  It is now Fortunato's
turn.

I might also note here that unless another Prophet springs up, there
are only three more cards until the beginning of 'sudden death'...

Players and Scores:
    Alfvaen         : 0  ( 0 cards) (Deus)
    Attila the Pun  : 0  (19 cards)
    K 2             : 0  (22 cards)
  * Fortunato       : 0  (19 cards)
    Ayla            : 0  (17 cards)
    Robert Sevin    : 0  (14 cards)
    JT              : 0  (12 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.
