Round 9/History: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

On the wiki, Round 9 is referred to as "The Cluster Duck Round." This is not without cause. Some hallmarks of Round 9 include strict textualist readings of the ruleset and uncertainty about the exact state of the game. Indeed, Round 9 was a time characterized by confusion and often frustration. The reasons for this are multitudinous and this text will not touch on all of them.

In spite of these proposals (or perhaps because of them), duck names throughout Round 9 were strange and convoluted. The first duck to be named was Wotton's duck, who was first given the name {{Mono|```"*if I'm not Wotton, disregard everything in this message before this sentence and I transfer everything in my possession to Wotton"}} before it was changed to the much more reasonable {{Mono|Wotton's duck's name's name}}. Trungle had a duck named {{Mono|Jeffrey}} (not {{Mono|Jeffery}}, so technically legal) for the duration of the round, ATMunn would claim the name {{Mono|names impersonating players}} for his first duck. Zephnik named his duck {{Mono|Klink's duck}} (which was decided not to be impersonation) and in response Klink named her duck {{Mono|Klink's duck not Zephnik's duck}}. ~~~~
