Re: [s-d] [s-b] We didn't panic then, so we have to panic now.


I declare Wonko's Game Action of causing Wooble's head to explode
Invalid, Evil, and quite possibly technically correct, which is the
best kind of correct.

If I'd ever gotten around to actually coding the neat thing that was
going to take my database of every message ever posted to the Public
Forum and sort out what Game Actions occurred in each message, I'd
probably feel able to make some sort of guess as to the current state
of the game.
