Subject: Consensus Game #1, Turn #8
Message-id: <199803010649.BAA04257@coxeter.math.toronto.edu>
(A selection of archived CGP postings from this consensus game can be found in http://www.poslarchive.com/math/cgp/consensus.)
[I too btw have been receiving enough duplicate cgp mail the past few weeks to necessitate writing a mail filter for the problem. My guess is that MIT's mail server has been unusually heavily loaded, is timing out during the closing handshake for the transfer of mail messages, and assuming that the messages need to be resent.]
In response to a private query, I reiterate that this game will be played out using the TWL96 lexicon. That is, we will not be switching to the 1998 lexicon mid-game.
Twenty-five players cast votes this turn, decisively in favour of 1L KORE (24). You have drawn EUX to your leave of ALRT, and opponent has replied B1 VIGOR (24).
To work around my travel plans for March, the next three voting periods will be six days, six days, and two weeks in length. Please note therefore that votes for this turn are due at midnight EST of next Friday and not Saturday as in previous weeks.

E-mail your vote for cgp's next move to the list if it comes with interesting commentary, or privately to me otherwise. If you ignore this request and include commentary to me, I may consider it for publication at the CGP archive. If you do not want me to do so, please say so in your message. I will send an acknowledgement message to all votes that I record, whether private or public. If you do not receive an acknowledgement message, please resend your vote. In any vote, don't forget to include your current rating, and a clear expression of your vote. That is, say "I vote for X and my rating is Y" somewhere in your message rather than "I think X looks like the best play, especially after reading about it all week". Double-check your play - did you specify the starting square, direction and blank (if any) correctly? If you send me a vote for an illegal play, I will consider it a spoiled ballot, and notify you accordingly; if you mistakenly vote for the wrong play, you may not find out until the end of the week.
