Subject: Acka: Double Crash Duel (JT vs K 2)

I realized a bit ago, that until one of my current props goes through I
cannot legally hold this duel on IRC, so we will hold it in your mailboxes
instead.

K 2, I have chosen my word, and await you choosing your word and your
first salvo.

Subject: Acka: Fictionary

The following are the results of Round 2 of Game 4 of Fictionary:

The round has ended prematurely because more than 1 person submitted the
correct definition.  However, everyone who did submit the correct
definition did so in the _exact_ form given by the rules, and the rules of
Fictionary prohibit using _any means_ to look up the meaning of the given
word.  Coincidence?  Game Misconduct?  You make the call.

JT, Vynd and risE all submitted:

ing: A pasture or meadow; generally one lying low, near a river.

This was the correct definition - they all get 3 points.

Alfvaen submitted:

An attempt to voluntarily handicap oneself in a
game or contest so as to give other players a half-decent chance to come
at least close to winning.

No-one else submitted a move in time, so all players other than these
three and myself lose 1 point for performing the default action and
submitting "".

It is now Robin Hood's turn to be Brainiac.

I would argue you cannot hold this Duel at all.

There are already 3 Duels that have existed this week:

A Mean Hat vs saaremaa at YORL (still running)
A Mean Hat vs Vynd at Bacon (still running)
JT vs K 2 at Ghost (already completed)

So this Duel cannot even get off the ground.

Umm.. I think you misread the rule Slakko.
i. No player may make more than 3 challenges per calendar month. No more
than 6 duels may be called per calendar month. A player with a
Highlander's Sword may exceed these limits, but only with a single
Challenge each calendar week.

There is no limit to 3 duels per week, only 3 per player and 6 per month.
