None of the guesses so far is correct. GEORGIA fits all of these rules but lacks buddha nature.


Having buddha nature:
ALABAMA

Lacking buddha nature:

Did everyone suddenly lose interest in the game? If you want to move on to Eleusis now, just say so. If we do, I'd actually prefer a separate thread for it (despite the title of this one) so both games can run at once.

No, I am just very busy with work right now. Nevertheless I am not against moving on to Eleusis, at least after finishing this round of Zendo.

I was just reluctant to take two consecutive turns 

I have no objection to starting an Eleusis thread, but honestly, it doesn't sound like as interesting a game (in its online form) so I hope the Zendo thread stays active as well.

Sorry to be so impatient, I just don't want the game to die now that I finally get one going
