Date: Tue, 24 Dec 1996 10:59:07 +0100 (MET) From: Andre Engels To: frc@nvg.unit.no Subject: Round 70 has ended... Round 70 has ended after the all-time low of 2 rules... Ed Graham will be the judge for round 71, with all players but the judge and Ronald as Wizzards. Andre Engels ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rule 70:1 by Ed Graham (VALID, style =-0.5) > >We at the Fantasy Racing Commission have been sponsoring the Fantasy >Olympic Games for 57 years. In that time, a number of sports and otjher >pursuits have been added to the roster of official games, and some have >fallen by the wayside. For instance, water polo was recently deleted >due to a lack of eligible contestants. (The last gold medal team drowned >in the preliminaries.) To make up for this lost event, the Quartatholon >has been added. The Quartathalon is identical to the Iron man Triathalon >with the addition a chug-a-luging a quart of bourboun first. > >The future rules shall describe at least one new event in the FOG. > >Ed Graham > Judgement: Validity: No problem. Style: The rule is like a first rule should be, although nothing special. The text itself for some reason doesn't hit me the way it should. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Rule 70:2 by Ronald (INVALID, style=-1) > >>>>>& >Each new rule shall use exactly five words used in 70:1. >This honours the sport of Parrotting. >>>>>& > Validity: To me a plural is another form of a word, not a different word. That makes the number of words used in both 70:1 and 70:2 seven instead of five. Style: Out of Theme. I would have liked a bit more than "This honours the sport of Parrotting" as your information on the Fantasy Olympic Games. And if for some reason you didn't like that subject, you should have gone back to my theme (Games) at least.
