ackanomic Digest Thursday, December 17 1998 Volume 03 : Issue 450 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JT Subject: Acka: Proposal 3876 parade Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 02:14:09 -0500 (EST) "Testing, testing 0000001512-14-15-23-09-05-26-30-03-05-27-17-23-09=75. Hello everyone and welcome to the parade. Everything seems to be in working order so we should get started." "Could everyone gather at the town steps? I do have a particular order that I want to see people march in if they don't mind. Parties first please, then churches, then Corporations, and finally any unaffiliated players and entities. However, before we get underway, I'd just like to say that I am really happy to have Quorum repealed. Each and everyone one of you is responsible for that. Remember that as we go forth into this new Quorumless age of Acka." I start by leading the parade down the center of town from the Town Hall steps to the base of the Lonely Mountain. Standing beneath it, we pay homage to those Elders who came before, and who shaped the Acka in which we live today. Around the Mountain we circle, and then take the long and winding road down along the Ackanomic River to the site where there is sign informing Ackans to be careful as there is likely construction to be occuring there soon, hopefully. Beyond the new bridge site, we continue through the Wilds until we come to the site where the last remnants of the Amber Banana Tree Grove. Only one tree still stands, commemorating the spot where once a whole grove of trees grew. On the ground next to the tree is a plaque, engraved in bronze bearing a blessing on the Tree and on Acka. "Keep the land and all of it's people safe", reads the plaque. Continuing further, we come to the hut of the Voting Gnome. Outside the hut, he greets us and wishes us well, and says he hopes to see us soon, but he's only allowed to visit once a year. Departing from his home, we slowly wind our way through the Wilds and back to the city proper. Ending up back at the Town Hall steps, I thank everyone for attending, and wish everyone a happy and healthy new year in Acka. --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: Acka: Stripping down Stripes Date: Thu, 17 Dec 1998 11:19:38 -0500 (EST) It is with great great pleasure that I award to K 2 eir second Gold Stripe bringing em to a total of 2 Gold and 1 Silver stripes.

The results were as follows: Hey Man, I'm an Induhvidual --------------------------------------------- Studge smallbox blanket ThinMan r-attila the farce I cannot wait to catch up to the Jones' --------------------------------------------- JT else...if rSiE (*) Wild Card (*) (*) These votes were cast against the original incorrect announcment message and were not corrected. I am forced by the rules to count them as the votes they stated however, not by intent. Since this was a tie, the result is the one that appeared first in the rule which is "Hey Man, I'm an Induhvidual". Therefore it is not the will of the people that these headers be added automatically, and as I stated publically, I will not do so. Thank you. --JT, no longer WillWho?
