Subject: .[steel dream].

Bay hued stallion trots into Paradise Isle with diplomatic ease. Carefully guarded face displays nothing that could hint at inner thoughts. Oceanic winds bat at his unkempt mane, tossing his overgrown forelock from his eyes. Hard gaze occasionally lands on a random resident, yet it never lingers. The lean thoroughbred has come with a purpose. Drawing to a halt, the male's hooves sink slightly into the fine sand, and he offers the sea oats and crashing waves and fruit trees a few passive glances. The sun shimmers angrily onto his dark coloured pelt, and the stallion sweats lightly, clearly not home in the heat or salty zephyrs. Tail brushes his hock, and his mug bobs once, showing self-confidence yet also respect. I have come for Steel Dream. The quiet male speaks. Eyes search, but they seem not to find. So patiently he stands, staring out into the aqua blue sea, waiting for someone to answer.

"You may only sneak one person at a time and may not post more than one message sneaking the same person."

An ambiguous rule, I must admit. But, nonetheless, it would appear that this rule would invalidate your claim to a successful sneak of Steel Dream. Because your message contained both a sneak of Shazaam and a sneak of Steel Dream, it violates the "one person at a time" clause. To cancel this and allow at least one of your sneaks to be valid, we would go with the first sneak in the message, which was for Shazaam.

[> Hmmm? -- Carrie, 22:30:38 05/13/03 Tue [1]

Perhaps I am having a particularly blonde moment, but I'm having a difficult time locating where Adrian made a successful sneak of Shazaam. On the sneak board, Adrian replied that his sneak of Steel Dream was successful, right under a post by Tori (me) that stopped Zierra's sneak of Shazaam. As I stated before, there is a good possibility that I am simply overlooking a successful sneak of Shazaam, or perhaps this is a win-win situation for the Lights. If indeed there was a sneak for Steel Dream included with Zierra's sneak for Shaz, and Adrian's sneak for Steel Dream was invalidated and Tori stopped the sneak for Shaz, then the Light royalty has escaped again. Perhaps I'm talking myself in circles and have completely missed Adrian's sneak... in which case, Tori will be making a permanent return to CM, if only to irritate her mate's captors.

Adrian's sneak was in the same post as the one for Shaz. To see it, you had to view the source code (search for the word "sneak"a few times and it will find it for you). Unless my argument is flawed, I'd say we escaped with our heads. I think we need to mount a counter-offensive... I'm really tired of darks always sneaking lights, but we never retaliate or let them taste their own methods.

Perhaps I misunderstood the rules or possibly read them wrong, but Adrian only tried to sneak one person (horse, really.;) not two at the same time. Zierra was the one sneaking Shazaam. Adrian and Zierra are totally seperate characters. Actually, Zierra's sneak was only a distraction as she is no longer active anymore. Is my point valid?

But there were two sneaks in the same post. This is definitely an Ashley call. Of course I don't want to see a successful sneak of Steel Dream or Shaz so I'm going to argue for my own side. (hehe) I'll back out gracefully now and await the final decision.

On a completely unrelated note, is this the same Marty that played Sinster in the Evil kitties? Inquiring minds want to know! (or already knew before the blondeness took over)
