Once every three months shouldn't hurt? The next equinox is on: ~ March 20, 14:54 EST ]}} {{[K 2 - Astrologically Confused :-)]}} Insert 'and at the equinox' after 'On Solstice day' in the first sentence of Rule 1006-1 (Prophets and Prophecies). Replace the first paragraph of 6-5-7 (Son I am able though you scare me / Watch beloved / Watch me scare you though / Able am I son) with: " The Office of Scaremonger is an optional, political office. The duties of Scaremonger are to promote panic and foment fear. They should take every opportunity to point out the crashing of the game, officers failing to perform their duties, and the End of the World. While any player may publicly announce the game crashing significance embodied by an encroaching Solstice or Equinox, it is a privilege of the Scaremonger to receive 5 points the first time they do so, 3 to 7 days prior to a particular Solstice or Equinox. If the Scaremonger fails to adequately perform their duties, another player may call a Test of the Emergency Broadcast System. " {{[Half each rolls shod bay oozed off ten.]}} {{Any points gained by Wild Card because he submitted this proposal are transfered to K 2}} {{The Authorship of this porposal, any rule it creates and any amendment it creates is changed to K 2.}} ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4044 rejected From: ackabot@ackanomic.org Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 19:33:38 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4044 Yes/No vote characteristic totals: 7-14: proposal rejected Yes: K 2 (2) Robin Hood (2) Eric.

It is not a Moon of Acka but it may be a planet. Whenever a player receives a Hat from the Mad Hatters they will find that three of its onomatopoeic members have stuffed a whole nose-sack of Mercury into the lining as part of their ongoing hate campaign against Ackans. (Whether or not Dog-Babies are involved at this time is unknown.) The first symptom of Mercury poisoning is light-headedness. Each nose-sack of Mercury owned by a player lowers the weight of any Agenda Hats they are wearing by 10. If a player has owned a nose-sack of Mercury continually for a week, they become stoned. At this time the player pays the Standard Harfer Fee to the Treasury to pay for medical bills and all Mercury which that player owns is destroyed. WIBBLE ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4059 From: ackabot@ackanomic.org Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 22:52:19 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4059 Another little fixit JT Due: Thu Feb 11 22:52:17 1999 This is a Modest Proposal. {{[ This will also probably be a boring proposal, that's fine. Since (hopefully) by the time this passes, the fuzzy voting system will have passed, and this can be accepted and still be boring. ]}} {{[This fixes up loopholes that were left by P4043]}} Amend rule 15-2-1 (Prophets and Prophecies) by replacing all occurances of 'Solstice day' or 'Solstice Day' that are not already followed by 'and at the Equinox' with 'Solstice day and at the Equinox'. ------------------------------ End of acka-voting Digest V4 #31 ********************************
