acka-voting Digest Friday, January 01 1999 Volume 04 : Issue 001 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Acka: Proposal 3974 From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 13:16:12 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3974 5 is Even and Odd O Olde Alpha Due: Fri Jan 8 13:16:10 1999 Create a new rule, with a number of the Rule-Harfer's choosing with the name "Mathematics Produces a Belief in Raisins" with the following SLAKKER delimited text: SLAKKER The Office of Evil Maths Troll is an optional, political office. It is the duty of the Evil Maths Troll to mediate in mathematical disputes. Whenever an ambiguity in rule interpretation or game state occurs in the field of mathematics, the Evil Maths Troll may submit a Mathematical Resolution Document (MRD). If this occurs, a Conscientious Scholar Hearing is called. A Conscientious Scholar Hearing is a hearing, and the Evil Maths Troll is the Hearing Harfer. The valid responses in this hearing are "Sorry, I have too much of a Real Life" and "I have a degree in Pure Maths!" If the verdict is "Sorry, I have too much of a Real Life", the MRD is accepted and will then guide play (but only in regard to mathematics). Any player who can prove (to the Evil Maths Troll's satisfaction) that e in fact *has* a degree in pure maths may cast a second vote in this hearing. It is considered good form to elect idiots to the office of Evil Maths Troll and similiarly for the holder of that office to submit MRDs which have little or no grounding in conventional mathematical theory. Players are permitted to sneer at other players who vote against silly or frivolous MRDs. SLAKKER {{O Olde Alpha loses a point. The Rule-Harfer gains a point. [I don't know how the numbering system works and I can't be bothered learning. I'm sorry, I have too much of a real life .]}} ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 3975 From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Fri, 01 Jan 1999 13:37:22 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3975 Un-needed now NY E NJ Due: Fri Jan 8 13:37:21 1999 This is a modest proposal.
