I consider objecting to this name change as just plain silly and annoying, but unfortunately cannot make them (even in my own mind) fit my own criteria for 'not within the spirit of the game'. I therefore, (under at least a mild bit of protest) ack this name change. >I also urge everyone to vote against else...if's proposal to make everyone >keep the same name always (surprise, surprise :-)). And I on the other hand urge everyone to vote for it. It actually is quite a bit of work to go through and change all of the references to a players name taking quite a bit of time. This has nothing to do with registrar, but with harfing in general. I'm fairly sure I'm not the only harfer to feel this way as well. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Re: Acka: Happy Birthday!

Confusion and ambiguity, indeed. I don't have to ignore it, merely object to it, but once again, while I find it annoying and silly, it's (unfortunately) within the spirit of the game as currently played (where the purpose of the game seems to be how many different ways can we make excess work for all of the harfers :/) I ack this name change, still protesting. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Re: Acka: Happy Birthday!

Barring no other missed retractions (I just did a check), the following occurs. The Brass Monkey climbs to the top of the tallest building in Acka (Vulcan Headquarters I believe), and proclaims "The makers of the Chrome Streak shall be awarded 5 bonus points!" The following players contributed to the Chrome Streak JT - 5 props (15 points) Pol Pot - 11 props (15 points) /dev/joe - 1 props (5 points) I also note that Pol Pot hereby earns a Stilton for 10 proposals in a row accepted. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Re: Acka: A streaky Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 03:40:30 -0500 (EST) At 03:38 AM 11/27/98 -0500, you wrote: >The streak that began with proposal 3735 and ended with proposal 3754 >contained 17 accepted proposals (since 3742 and 3752 was retracted). > >Barring no other missed retractions (I just did a check), the following >occurs. > >The Brass Monkey climbs to the top of the tallest building in Acka (Vulcan >Headquarters I believe), and proclaims "The makers of the Chrome Streak >shall be awarded 5 bonus points!" > >The following players contributed to the Chrome Streak >JT - 5 props (15 points) >Pol Pot - 11 props (15 points) >/dev/joe - 1 props (5 points) > > >I also note that Pol Pot hereby earns a Stilton for 10 proposals in a row >accepted. > woohoo!!!! thank you ACKA!!!! -- Pol Pot Crazy French-Scotsman, Daring Adventurer, Dungeon Master, Really Weird, Religious Caste, Rules-Harfer, Weird ------------------------------ From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Acka: More harfing Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 05:20:03 -0500 (EST) Well, that was amazing and exhilerating for me as proposer, but it was a terrible burden for me as rule-harfer. So if i haven't yet done so this month, I say "Pol Pot is giving me a real headache" I have harfed all the changes and they should be reflected in my pages. I just BARELY caught an error that occurred because the format of brain messages was slightly different than that of muppetlabs. I may have missed other things too. This has been the first real test of my harfing scripts since before the revolutions, and they have changed significantly since then. So I encourage all of Acka to find my errors and berate me about them. In fact, I offer A$10 per error to anyone who can point out a valid error on any of the rules pages(other than the dead links for some proposals, which i know about and will fix), with a maximum of A$100 per player. As dungeon master, I note that the following players have received alignment changes: JT (+2) /dev/joe (+1) Slakko (+1) And everyone is back in eir castes. That includes ME; i am pulled from religious to warrior caste. I think that's it.

R850 says: Upon a benefactor's BV exceeding A$5000, if e is a voting player, all objects donated by that benefactor are transferred to the West Wing, and a big ceremony, which is a public gathering, is held. If this appears to occur simultaneously with a player becoming a Member of the Museum, however, it will occur an infinitesimal time afterwards instead. If a benefactor's BV exceeds A$5000, the event occurs. The following sentence only changesthe time of the event, and not whether or not the event occurs at all. If the Museum became totally empty by the infinitesimal amount of time afterwards, the sequence would still occur. /dev/joe ------------------------------ From: Eric Plumb Subject: Re: Acka: Evil? of course I'm Evil Date: Fri, 27 Nov 1998 20:25:51 -0500 (EST) On Fri, 27 Nov 1998, Alexandre Muniz wrote: > > Since it is currently unregulated, and I have a lurking suspicion about > > something, I hereby make myself Evil (something which is fortunately > > unregulated by the rules currently) > > Since it is not regulated by the rules, I make JT cease to be Evil. > Furthermore, I make him Wholesome and Nice.
