Robert Sevin failed to post a play in time, so the Eight of Clubs was
chosen randomly from eir hand.  This happens to be a correct play(funny
how often that's been happening...).  It is now JT's turn.

We _will_ finish this round sometime.  Dammit.

Players and Scores:
    Alfvaen         : 0  ( 0 cards) (Deus)
    Aunt Froot      : 0  (16 cards) [ eliminated ]
    K 2             : 0  ( 0 cards) [ left the game ]
    Fortunato       : 0  (16 cards)
    Robin Hood      : 0  (15 cards) [ substituting for Ayla ]
    Robert Sevin    : 0  ( 9 cards)
 *  JT              : 0  ( 8 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.
