Each Quest must define a condition to be achieved in order to fulfill the quest, and a reward which is recieved for fulfilling the quest. A quest may also define a medal which will be recieved by each player to fulfill the quest. If a quest does not define a medal, the medal for that quest will be a medal named 'The Gold Medallion for Achieving Quest XXX.X' where XXX.X is replaced by the rule number of the quest completed. All medals for completed quests are made by the Frobozz Magic Medal Company, Ackanomic Division. Each quest may also define additional effects which occur once at the time the quest is completed. Each quest must be defined within a rule contained within this rule suite. If a player already has the medal for completing a quest, that player may not complete that quest again. The previous sentence takes precedence over any rule with which it conflicts. The player completing a quest must point out the fact of its completion publically before the reward or medal for that quest will be awarded. If ever more than 60% of all active and vacationing players have completed a given quest and that fact is pointed out publically, then the rule defining that quest will be repealed as it has become too easy and is therefore no longer worth the recognition of achieving it. QUEST Create a new rule numbered numbered 999.1 named Quest of the Magic A$ with text as delimited by USED_TO_BE_MUSEUM USED_TO_BE_MUSEUM Condition: A Voting player Achieving a Benefactor Value of A$5000 Reward: The player achieves a winning condition. Medal: A Gold-Plated Ruby-Encrusted $-sign Other Effects: The player becomes a Life Member of the Museum and his name is added to the end of the list of names on the plaque in front of the West Wing of the Museum and the lighted sign in front of the North Wing of the Museum begins displaying North. All objects donated by the player are moved to the West Wing. If any Trinkets were moved to the West Wing by the previous sentence, they become Magicks. The lighted in front of the West Wing begins displaying the players Name. {{ Delete section VII and all of its text from rule 850 (Museum) and renumber the sections accordingly.

A Mad Bomber can make a mad bomb through the following procedure: 1) E must renounce the world and technology, and spend a week in the Wilds. During this time, e may not post more than 3 messages per day [as if e were in gaol]. At the commencement of this time, e must compose a haiku stating eir intent to do so. A player may not attempt this step more than once per calender month. 2) E must make the bomb and attatch a fuse. This can only be done if e owns a mechanical gadget, an antiquity worth at least A$50 [before the 30% interest], and a garment out of which to make the fuse. While still in the Wilds, e publicly posts a sonnet describing the process of making the bomb out of these components. At this time, if the action succeeds, the garment and gadget are destroyed and the trinket is given to the treasury. Then the Mad Bomber is given a Mad Bomb. Mad Bombs are nonunique, tradeable entities. If e leaves the wilds before making the bomb, e must fulfill the first step again. A Mad Bomber can only make one Bomb per creation, and must fully specify which e is making in eir sonnet. If e does not, the creation fails. To use a Mad Bomb, it must be thrown. Only a Mad Bomber may throw a Mad Bomb. To do so, e must compose a sestina describing the throwing of the bomb, and specify a target that is a location in Ackanomic other than the location of the Mad Bomber. When a bomb is thrown, it has a chance of hitting its target of twice the value of the dexterity characteristic of the Mad Bomber. It has a chance of hitting a random target equal to the value of the strength characteristic of the Mad Bomber. It has a chance of going off as if it had not been thrown anywhere, in the location of the Mad Bomber, equal to the greater of 10 and (40 - the intelligence and wisdom characteristics of the Mad Bomber). The denominator for the determination is equal to the sum of the chances. Exactly one day after a bomb hits its target, it goes off and is destroyed A Member of the Mad Bomber Rule Suite with the title "Mad Bomb Type: XXX", where XXX is replaced with a legal name, defines XXX as a type of Mad Bomb. Such rules may include restrictions on the materials used to make the bomb, the effects that various bombs have on various locations, and any other effect related to the Mad Bomb. If no effect is defined for an interaction of a Mad Bomb type and a location, then the bomb is a dud and explodes harmlessly in a scented cloud of potpourri. The Scaremonger is Custodian of the Mad Bomber Rule Suite and makes all random determinations for Mad Bombs (unless otherwise specified) KABLOOIE Add the following STINK-delimited text as rule 1190.1 , "Mad Bomb Type: Fertilizer Bomb" STINK Fertilizer Bomb Effects on Locations: The Library: The Vault of the Book gets all stinky and covered with fertilizer and no one can enter it for the rest of the month. The Wilds: Bombing The Wilds causes a Wildebeest Stampede, provided that no wildebeest stampede has occurred in the past week. During a Wildebeest stampede, all the animals rumble bandy through Acka. When this happens: The Goose, the Little Lamb, and Phoebe and her Matchbox go Somewhere Else, and all donkeys bray noisily. Then Wildebeests stampede over all unsheltered Ackans, causing em to lose 10 points. Any Player who has a lariat may attempt to lariat a Wildebeest. This is a test of dexterity against the Wildebeest's 17. If this succeeds, the player must wrestle the wildebeest. This is a test of strength against the wildebeest's 20. If a player successfully wrestles a wildebeest, e gets to keep it as a nonunique, tradeable enitity, and becomes a Daring Adventurer. The owner of a Wildebeest may make Wild Wooly Wildebeest Milk as a public action. WWWM is a Frink. The owner of a Wildebeest may also pay the treasury A$10 to make a Wooly Fur Sweater. If a Wildebeest lariating fails, the player who attempted to lariat loses another 5 points for more trampling. Finally, at the end of a stampede, The Brass Monkey climbs to the top of the tallest building in Acka and proclaims "The Makers of the Wildebeest Stampede shall be awarded 10 bonus points!" With that, the Mad Bomber who made the bomb and the Mad Bomber who thew the bomb each gain 10 points. If the same bomber did both, e gets all 20 points. The Ackanomic Institute of Genetic Replication A hole is blown in the containment chamber and the mutants are let loose. There are a total number of mutants equal to twice the number of active players, and they run around until all of them are caught. Mutants are Pesky. Mutants are entities. If a player catches a mutant, e is deemed to have returned it, and is given a random Boon of the Ancients. A player may catch at most one mutant each day. A mutant can be caught by: Hiding in the wilds near the river and luring a mutant with food or frink has a 20% chance of capturing a mutant. A player may try to lariat mutants if e has a lariat. This costs the SHF for a lassoing licence and has a 50% chance of working. A player may try to catch a mutant if e has a BWG Laser or a Highlander's Sword. This has a half chance of destroying the mutant and a half chance of catching it. The above may be tried at most once per day A random active player who has not yet caught a mutant that day automatically catches a mutant each tuesday at noon. If any moon becomes full, all the mutants get frightened and run back to the AIGR. Ackanomic Printing Guild two rules are randomly chosen. The Scaremonger picks a adjective from the lower numbered rule, and the Harfmeister picks a adjective from the higher numbered rule. The two adjectives switch places in the rules. A Moon of Ackanomic: A chunk of cheese is blown off the moon, and a random player is awarded a random cheese.

The Hearing Harfer for a Will of the People hearing may be referred to as WillWho? for the duration of the Hearing. A Will of the People Hearing is an Extremely Silly Affair. It is also a Serious Matter [just to prevent EBSs from skewing the results]. The valid responses to a Will of the People Hearing are "Hey Man, I'm an Induhvidual" and "I cannot wait to catch up to the Jones'". If the result is the former (Induhvidual), the matter about which the hearing is being called is considered to not be the will of the people. If the result is the latter (Jones'), then the will of the people has spoken. This type of hearing should be used to gauge public opinion on a given topic.

All rules have an H number. All references to rule numbers are to H numbers unless otherwise specified; this is a Class 1 sentence. Some rules may also have an L number, this is a Class 1 sentence. {{All rules receive an L number equal to their rule number before the proposal which most recently modified this rule passed.}} An H number consists of a string of positive integers separated by hyphens, optionally preceded by an H. Each integer in that string is known as a locator. A rule number is an H number if is preceded by H; this is a Class 1 sentence. A rule number is an L number if is is preceded by L; this is a Class 1 sentence. A rule number is an L number if the number is preceded by neither; this is a Class 1 sentence. The following relations are defined between rules: (Z means an indeterminate set of locators separated by hyphens, X means a single locator. Zn, where n is an integer, is another indeterminate set of locators, Xn is another single locator.) Rule 1 Rule 2 Rule 1 is a ____ of Rule 2 HZ HZ-X Parent HZ-X HZ Child HZ1 HZ1-Z2 Ancestor HZ1-Z2 HZ1 Descendant HZ-X1 HZ-X2 Sibling An H number is larger than another H number if the first (from left to right) integer which differs between the two is larger. When a rule Z1 is moved to become rule Z2, all its children Z1-X are moved to Z2-X II. When a new rule is created it is numbered as follows: 1. If the creator (be it proposal, rule, or something else) assigned it a valid H number not already assigned to a rule than it receives that number. 2. Otherwise, if the creator assigned it a valid H number and there is a parent (hereafter called THEPARENT to the rule with that H number than the rule receives the smallest H number, not already assigned to a rule, which would leave it as a child of THEPARENT. 3. Otherwise, it is given the smallest H number which would make a child of the Unassigned Rule Section. One week after the proposal which defined H numbers passed, replace all L numbers in the rules with the H number of that rule, and remove all Class 1 sentences from this rule; this is a Class 1 sentence.

The Ambassador is the delegate^0 of Ackanomic to the InterNomic Treaty Organization^0 as defined in rule 419.1. The Ambassador must always be subscribed to the offical INTO-mailing-list^0. Any player may call an Agreement hearing on an InterNomic-Treaty^0 which Ackanomic has not signed or a Disagreement hearing on an InterNomic-Treaty^0 which Ackanomic has signed^0 and which allows Ackanomic to unsign^0 it. The Ambassador is the Hearing Harfer on both types of hearings. The valid responses to an Agreement hearing are "No! We want to mess up things for ourselves, without help from those black-helicopter flying INTO goons!" and "Surrender control to those black-helicopter flying INTO goons!". If the result is the latter than the Ambassador should sign^0 the treaty^0 the hearing was called on for Ackanomic. The valid responses to a Disagreement hearing are "What's your problem? Our rulers are doing a great job of pretending they still have power" and "Never mind prosperity for all, let's return to the dark ages". If the result is the latter the Ambassador should unsign^0 the treaty^0. The Ambassador may never sign^0 a treaty^0 which has terms which include hyphens or carets. Should the INTO Archivist^0 be a player of Ackanomic then that player receives a monthly A$25 stipend as a salary for bringing glory to Ackanomic. If a word or string of hyphenated words is followed by a caret and then a nonnegative integer: [^n] then the word is considered to be equivalent to the way that word or that word with the hyphens replaced by spaces is used in INT#n^0. No other terms or words used in the rules are considered to be the same as any terms defined in an InterNomic-Treaty^0. If n is 0 then it means the term is considered equivalent to a term defined in the INTO-rules^0. THISONCEWASTHELIAISON Create rule 419.1, "INTO Ruleset" with the following RULESANDREGULATIONS-delimited text RULESANDREGULATIONS Everything in this rule after this sentence is the ruleset of the InterNomic Treaty Organization Rule 1: The Archivist is responsible for tracking InterNomic Treaties. Rule 2: The Archivist selects the official mailing list, and must make a public notification of any changes to it. The first Archivist will be Uri Bruck (bruck@actcom.co.il) and the first mailing list will be internomic@muppetlabs.com. Rule 3: A notification is public if it is sent to everyone subscribed to the mailing list. Rule 4: A Nomic may designate a single delegate to the InterNomic Treaty Organization. Changes to the identity or the initial announcement of a delegate must be made by public notice. If there is an ambiguity about the identity of the delegate, the Archivist should determine the correct identity by inspecting the ruleset of that Nomic and other documents relating to that Nomic. If the rules and other documents for a Nomic are not available on the Web, then that Nomic must make them available to the Archivist in order have a delegate. Rule 5: The Archivist is elected. When there is no Archivist, Treaties may not be made or signed. If public notice is made that there is no Archivist, and no public notice is made by the Archivist contradicting this fact for one week, then nominations begin. A person nominates emself by making public notice of this. After one week of nominations, each Nomic, through its delegate, may vote for a candidate via public notice. Two weeks after the votes begin, the person who received the most votes becomes Archivist. If there is a tie, a runoff is held between tied people as if nominations had just ended and those two were the only nominees. Note that this ay require multiple runoffs. Rule 6: A person proposes a Treaty by making public notice of the content of the treaty. For two weeks after it is proposed, a Treaty is preliminary. After a Treaty has been preliminary for two weeks, it becomes an official InterNomic Treaty if it has been endorsed by at least three people, one of whom must be a delegate, including the player who proposed it (who is automatically assumed to endorse it). Otherwise it is destroyed. Endorsements may only be made by public notice. Rule 7: When a Treaty becomes an official InterNomic Treaty, the Archivist must assign it the smallest positive integer not already assigned to a Treaty and make its content available upon request (preferably be storing it on a web page). In any occurances of the string "INT#n" in that Treaty, the "n" is replaced by the number of the Treaty. Rule 8: Any Nomic, through its delegate, may sign an InterNomic Treaty by making public notice of this. The signing succeeds if and only if the Nomic has met all prerequisites within the Treaty for signing it. The Archivist should track which Nomics have signed a Treaty along with the content of the Treaty. A Nomic may remove its signature from an InterNomic Treaty unless the Treaty puts restrictions on doing so, in which case the Nomic must meet those restrictions before doing so. Rule 9: Although Nomics are expected to abide by an honor code, and obey the treaties they have signed, there is no general enforcement method in existance. Treaties should include enforcement when it is neccessary. RULESANDREGULATIONS ------------------------------ End of acka-voting Digest V3 #227 *********************************
