Or just something ambiguous, which doesn't affect whether the action succeeds. As far as I can tell, ehird's forfeit didn't involve calculating anything.

I'm not too sure on this one, though. -- ais523 _______________________________________________ spoon-discuss mailing list spoon-discuss@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-discuss
