Since I just got asked twice (by two different players)
the target zoo is DDDMMM.

I will include this with turn reports from now on.
I will also sort the ending zoos of the players (just for clarity)

Subject: Acka: GAD Round 6 results
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 15:17:16 -0400 (EDT)

Wow! What an action-packed round!  I LOVE being Wrangler.   Well... In
round six, Robin Hood and Vynd were a sort of nexus of donkey-grabbing that
yielded very little in terms of results.  The two erstwhile donkey-grabbers
snatched at each other, thus foiling King Felix and Calvin N Hobbes, who,
respectively, also went for their donkeys.

Elsewhere, K 2 covered his donkeys, protecting them from the wrath of Blest
Lax Monk Pal.  IdiotBoy covered his one lonely donkey, but everyone was too
busy grabbing at more impressive specimen to pay his one somewhat
sway-backed donkey much mind.  

Dragon Mage made the only successful grab this round, snatching one of
rice's donkeys out from under his nose, as he, r-attila the farce, and
Euphrates attempted to employ the Stand-Around-Admiring Gambit (the latter
two, apparently, to some avail.)

GAL:

Blest Lax Monk Pal: 5
Calvin N Hobbes: 4
Euphrates: 1
IdiotBoy: 1
Dragon Mage: 2
K 2: 4
King Felix: 1
r-attila the farce: 1
rice: 1
Robin Hood: 3
Vynd: 1

Subject: Acka: Fictionary Round 1 Results (Alfvaen)
Date: Sat, 12 Jun 1999 16:25:32 -0400 (EDT)

Round 1 of the Fictionary game ends with this post. Alfvaen, take notice!
You are the next Brainiac!

The Ing word was: Reduviid

The correct definition was number 3, Assassin bug

The other definitions:

Dragon Mage: 1) A species of bug.

/dev/joe: 2) An animal capable of seeing a spectrum of light ranging from
red to ultraviolet.

Alfvaen: 4) the default definition of " ".

Studge: 5) In insects, the socket by which the abdomen attaches to a
thorax.

K2: 6) A insect belonging to the genus Reduviidus.

Trent (or T. T. Ren?): 7) A religious convert, particularly one who has
converted from Judaism to Catholicism.

Unfortunately, all of these definitions are the correct part of speech,
except maybe Alfvaen's, but he's a Canadian and as such has built up an
immunity to ridicule. :)

T.T. Ren and Alfvaen voted for each other's definitions, for which each
gains a gamepoint. Alfvaen defaulted during the submission stage, however,
so his point is forfeit.

No one voted for /dev/joe's definition, and he selected K2's definition,
so /dev/joe also has a big fat zero.

K2, Studge, and Dragon Mage, who judging from their definitions had some
idea that reduviid refered to insects, all chose the correct definition.
For this they receive 2 gamepoints a piece, giving K2 a total of three.

As several players voted for the correct definition, I receive zero 
points. But my zero is intrisically better than /dev/joe's or Alfvaen's.
Not because I tried harder, but because it is mine.

The scores:

Vynd: 0
Alfvaen: 0
K2: 3
/dev/joe: 0
Dragon Mage: 2
Studge: 2
Trent: 1

Vynd
