Subject: Acka: A Challenge Accepted

The most honourable Vynd has asked me to accept on his behalf the challenge
of the blackguard JT who attempted to bushwhack him by challenging him when
he was otherwise enguaged. He requests your presence on the field of double
crash.

MTM, second to Vynd.

Subject: Acka: Eleusis G2R1 (JT)

Tin Observer failed to play a card, so one was chosen randomly from eir
hand, the Three of Spades.  This is an incorrect play, and I believe
causes eir elimination from the round(unless a recent Proposal caused
the game to suddenly no longer be in sudden-death time).

In any case, it is JT's turn.

Players and Scores:
    Alfvaen         : 0  ( 0 cards) (Deus)
    Attila the Pun  : 0  (18 cards)
    K 2             : 0  ( 0 cards) [ left the game ]
    Fortunato       : 0  (17 cards)
    Robin Hood      : 0  (18 cards) [ substituting for Ayla ]
    Tin Observer    : 0  (12 cards) [ eliminated from round ]
 *  JT              : 0  (11 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.

The propoal did pass, so I do believe we are not in sudden death since the
40 card count is in fact no (correctly) suspended when there is no
prophet.

I will post my play later tonight after I've had a chance to look over my
cards and the current 'board'.
