[Alneyan]

Originally written by Asmala, to the Referee:
What about slide rules, are they allowed?

In the name of Primitive, and being his manager, I have to stand up to such vile negociations! Asmala is debating your fair rules, even if the word of the referee cannot be disputed during, or before, a match.

Besides, it is my belief he is mocking you by his petty request, which would qualify as "insulting, or using verbal abuse of any sort, the referee or hindering the normal course of the game". As such, I hereby ask you to give Asmala a yellow card (or something along these lines; let's not worry about the colour), which will allow Primitive to remove Asmala, the offending party, from the game during five turns of Primitive's chosing.

With all due respect, Alneyan, in the name of his client, Primitive.

*Gnarls* *They* are already plotting. That rule cannot be fear, as while Primitive is forbidden to strike as he wills, Asmala merely needs to put his calculator back in the cloakroom. It isn't as if Slynky doesn't know that Asmala can quote a formula in a heartbeat, and setting up a retroseries is a walk in a part for him (calculators or not).

I wouldn't be surprised to know that Slynky has been bribed. Tsk. As if I would stoop to such base tricks! I had but thought of rigging the game by asking Primitive to lose, but even the prospects of a lot of money for him weren't enough to secure his agreement. I could have easily won a few grands this way, but no, Primitive spoke of "pride", "honour" and "honesty". His mistake I guess. *Shrugs and goes back among the other spectators*

Please forgive me for my silliness. Now back to your regularly scheduled programmes.
