Human beings are and have traditionally been such things. Other nomic games are these things as well when a system for their effects exists. This is a rule in the game of Ackanomic and Berserker Nomic. Moreover, it is the same rule in both nomics. If a change is made to this rule in Ackanomic, then it is a duty of the Speaker to announce the change in Berserker Nomic, at which point the change is made to the rule in Berserker Nomic as well. Berserker Nomic may not change this rule. If this rule conflicts with another rule on any topic, including this sentence, this rule takes precedence.

All reserves of this element in natural formations in Ackanomic were used up long ago (which some theorize caused the downfall of the ancients). The only remaining source is Phoebe's (unlimited) personal collection. If posting Phoebe's wisdom is regulated by the rules and a player includes the following as the initial letters of successive sentences "ANCIENTIUMFORYOU" and the wisdom is not challenged or the result of the Hearing finds that the wisdom was legitimate then the the player who posted the wisdom receives one nose-sack of Ancientium .
