That would mean you have until 2002-11-15 07:49:24 GMT to join in this round by posting your own rule. As for the rules accepted so far this round, I have the following records. Keep in mind that I'm not the judge though. 196:1, 196:2, 193:3, and 196:4 were judged valid. Both 196:5 and 196:6 were judged invalid. Rules 196:7 and 196:8 have not been judged yet. Here are the rules that have been judged valid: Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 23:47:38 -0800 From: Ed Murphy <emurphy42_at_socal.rr.com> To: FRC <frc_at_trolltech.com> Subject: 196:1 There were rounds when, three or four rules in, I didn't have a clue what was going on any more. Those were the good times. Then there was the Bribery round when, seven or eight rules in, hardly anybody had a clue what was going on any more. That was sort of a bad time, except for the Judge and eir crony. Each future eulogy (er, rule) shall suggest a new way to save FRC from assuming room temperature.

Just because he was correct in forseeing that each eulogist in this round would remind us of a round from happier times, though, must we docilely don our shrouds and lay ourselves, still living, in the ground? I have roused myself from my torpor to say you nay, and remain convinced that if we can but decipher the F'rcyeh Tablets, we can save ourselves with the secrets contained therein. Christian R.

So, I recommend that we should eschew he sillyness of limerics, as 2 is a strange prime, but instead follow round 7's lead and make all eulogies shorter than those before them, and hope to extend the FRC by minimising the space it takes up. -- Rule Date: 2002-11-08 16:02:41 GMT Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2002 13:12:57 -0000 From: Alan Riddell <peekee_at_blueyonder.co.uk> To: frc <frc_at_trolltech.com> Subject: 196:4 Ah, remember the good old days when we could look back on the dirt and filth of previous rounds without the rose tinited sepcticals of nostalga. >From now on Rules shall make reference to a previous round, such as the unforgettable round with the board, which sadly I cant remeber the number of...
