Righty ho. I've selected my six-letter word.

Unfortunately I don't have access to IRC, and with me being the other side of
the pond, I don't know if we'd be around much at the same time anyway.

OK. I've selected my three five-letter words.

I also.  So now we just post our normal six-word salvos?  And list the
number of crashes in the same order for each word, or in descending order
(which would make it more difficult)?

Anyway, if it is a six-word salvo, then my first one is:

acked
frink
salvo
crash
first
words

I guess so. Here's mine:

thank
apple

I think descending order would be *extremely* difficult, but perhaps more fun,
so if you're game to play it that way, then so am I.

I'll reply to it in a minute.

Subject: Acka: Mediocrity, Round 13

Here are the plays for the previous Round.

IdiotBoy - 7
Atilla the Pun - 7
rufus - 8
/dev/joe - 9
JT - 9
Alfvaen - 10
Rex Mundi - 13

So, 8 is the most Mediocre number for the Round, scoring rufus his third
Gamepoint.

Current scores:

Rex Mundi - 4
rufus - 3
Atilla the Pun - 2
Alfvaen - 2
IdiotBoy - 2
Everyone else - 0

Good luck to everyone, on this last of Rounds.  Reply with your next and
final play.

Not necessarily true.  If rufus were to win the next round, then no-one
would be Mediocre (as everyone would have a score the same as someone
else's), and the game would continue.

Rex, I got your Mediocrity play but when I tried to reply the mail
bounced.  Just wanted to let you know.

My second salvo:

plump
sadly
chasm
mauve
genie

So how do we score this, anyway?  First one to get all three?  Well,
probably time enough to worry about that when we get to it.
