I'd requested a current list of my cards from Alfvaen and didn't recieve
one yet, so I hope that the card '7 S' is in my hand.  I play the
7 S.

I apologize for the delay, and hope that it was not terminal.  The ing
word for this round will hopefully be "callithump".  You may reply to
this message to send me your definitions, if you are a Bluffer in this
game, of course.

Subject: Acka: Eleusis G2R1 (Robin Hood)

The Deus hereby apologizes for not having gotten around to verifying
the cards in JT's hand; however, e did have the Seven of Spades in eir
hand, so this was a valid play.  It was not, however, a _correct_ play.
The Deus had previously thought that the hand ended now, but apparently
since there is still one Scientist with cards, the hand continues.
Thus, it is now Robin Hood's turn.

(The card counts below have also been adjusted because apparently penalty
cards are dealt before sudden death is.)

Players and Scores:
    Alfvaen         : 0  ( 0 cards) (Deus)
    Aunt Froot      : 0  (18 cards) [ eliminated ]
    K 2             : 0  ( 0 cards) [ left the game ]
    Fortunato       : 0  (17 cards) [ eliminated ]
    Robin Hood      : 0  (14 cards)
    Robert Sevin    : 0  (11 cards) [ eliminated ]
    JT              : 0  ( 8 cards) [ eliminated ]
(* 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.
