As soon as the {{}} goes away, he will be impeached. I would prefer a general proposal, as opposed to one that creates a rule "Voting Gnome is the Ambassador". The solutions, in my mind, are: 1) Voting Gnome becomes a voting player 2) Allow an NVP to be the Ambassador If either of these events occured, I would resign as Ambassador. However, I would vote against a proposal enacting solution 2) (that is not to say it wouldn't happen anyway), nothing personal, I just personally do not like 2) Malenkai Ambassador ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 20:11:32 -0700 (PDT) From: Brian Raiter Subject: Re: acka prop. and bot > I am getting server errors on both the bot and the current proposals > is this the same for all? Mail to Chaos is bouncing. (I'm getting mailer-daemon errors every time someone posts to acka-azpiazu.) From what I can make of it, it appears that something is wrong concerning his procmail setup. Presumably he will figure this out before too long. breadbox ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 17:53:13 -0800 From: Phil Ackley Subject: Acka: Subscriptions I have a couple of new people two subscribe to the lists, but before I do that, I need to know a couple of things. #1) Should I go ahead and subscribe them to the wilma versions? #2) Should I subscribe them to the muppetlabs versions? #3 If so, would breadbox be so kind as to send me the list password?

As soon as the {{}} goes >away, he will be impeached. > I think you have misunderstood my position. My intent was to write a proposal allowing NVP's to be the ambassador (I see no reason why they shouldn't be - it's a harfy job more than anything else) and then {{magic}} you out and him in.

Absolutely. At this time, wilma's lists are still the only official lists. The game does not yet recognize muppetlabs. (Another twelve hours or so.) Even then, I suspect that the transition will not be immediate.... > #2) Should I subscribe them to the muppetlabs versions? No reason not to. Right now all of us are subscribed to the muppetlabs versions. > #3 If so, would breadbox be so kind as to send me the list password? The passwords are unchanged from wilma's. And by the way, if you notice any majordomo behavior that is different from what you've come to expect, let me know. breadbox ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 31 Jul 1997 22:55:14 -0600 From: alfvaen@telusplanet.net (Aaron V. Humphrey) Subject: Re: Re acka >I wish to purchase a prosthetic forehead please let me know if one will >sell one to me? You don't necessarily have to buy one from someone else. You can either go to the Treasury, pay A$7, and then pick one(i.e. describe what the Prosthetic Forehead you bought looks like). Or you can buy a Rock To Wind A String Around from somebody with a Vending Machine, because the Treasury will also accept one of those in exchange for a Prosthetic Forehead. - -- - --Alfvaen(Web page:http://www.telusplanet.net/public/alfvaen/) Current Album--Kate Bush:The Red Shoes Current Book--Dick Francis:Risk What happens if you get scared half to death twice? ------------------------------ End of Ackanomic Digest V2 #226 *******************************
