ackanomic Digest Saturday, December 26 1998 Volume 03 : Issue 458 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Acka: well, it's worth a try Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 00:26:20 -0500 (EST) When the Ackanomic Records rule was established, a small building that housed Ackanomic Records appeared on the map. I don't see it on the map of the city. I think that what that implies is that my attempt to buy all that land failed, because the Acka Records building was in the way, and thus no earthquake occurred. -- Trent Acting CotC, Acting Map-Harfer, Butthead, Crazy French-Scotsman, Daring Adventurer, DeeJay, Dungeon Master, Grey Councillor, Really Weird, Rules-Harfer, Worker Caste, Weird ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Re: Acka: well, it's worth a try Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 02:43:22 -0500 (EST) On Sat, 26 Dec 1998, Gabe Drummond-Cole wrote: >When the Ackanomic Records rule was established, a small building that >housed Ackanomic Records appeared on the map.

Actually, I think you are incorrect and that your I buy Xr-Zq was merely shorthand for buying each kaa of land individually since the rules only allow you to buy a kaa of land. Therefore you need to determine where on the map the Ackanomic Records building was and you bought all except for that. --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: Nanotech Hearing Results (Scorekeeper) Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 02:52:50 -0500 (EST) The Nanotech hearing called against MTM (now Eric.) for his posting of Phoebe's wisdom had the following result: Phoebe would never say anything so crass: -------------------------------------------- JT Vynd O Olde Alpha IdiotBoy MTM ThinMan smallpox blanket Phoebe said much the same thing to me once: -------------------------------------------- Wild Card Trent Eric. loses the 6 points gained for posting the wisdom and 6 additional points. --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: Acka: CFJ 714 (FALSE) Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 04:29:53 -0500 (EST) r-attila the firecat has ruled this FALSE Call for Judgment 714 - Dec 21, 1998 Subject: Diktat Initiator: Trent (Sent Dec 21 1998, 6:04 Acka) Judge: r-attila the firecat Judgement: FALSE Statement: Rule 23 has been modified at least once since it was instated Reasoning: I think this is false. Rule 23 says: 'These 4 may change the rules or game state as an organisational action.' Rule 1003 says: 'An organization can attempt actions. However, the process for an organization to attempt an action is somewhat more complex than the same process for players. First, some member of the organization sends a public message suggesting an action for the organization to take. The suggestion must include the name of the organization for which it is being suggested.' the 'organization' described by rule 23 had no name, no name was mentioned, and thus the attempt to suggest amendment failed. Judge's Reasoning: The wording of rule 23 describes an Org but gives no name so it could be reffering to any org. Therefore it is to ambiguos and has almost no game effect. -- Trent Acting CotC, Acting Map-Harfer, Butthead, Crazy French-Scotsman, Daring Adventurer, DeeJay, Dungeon Master, Grey Councillor, Really Weird, Rules-Harfer, Worker Caste, Weird ------------------------------ From: "Alex Pes" Subject: RE: Acka: A new player Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 14:53:28 -0500 (EST) Hello K2!!

I'm sure you'll hit the performance curve faster than I have. Alex Pes wrote: > Hello K2!! My acka name is SCANDALL, and I'm your pupil 'cause you are my > mentor.

"I am no longer basking in the sun (vacation OVER)" "I change my state to voting" Now, what do I do with this registration card? ------------------------------ From: JT Subject: Acka: A new player Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 19:51:37 -0500 (EST) It gives me great pleasure to welcome Moshe Levi (aka WoHo) into the game of Ackanomic. His email address is llcoola@hotmail.com. He did not provide a sponsor, nor did he say how he'd found out about the game, so, if he wishes to do that, I will let him speak up for himself :) Since he didn't specify, he joins the game as a Voting Player else...if has been assigned as his Mentor. I hope you will all join me in welcoming WoHo to the game. --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: Towsner Subject: Acka: Vacation Date: Sat, 26 Dec 1998 23:02:49 -0500 (EST) I go on vacation, expected return date, Jan 6 (actually Jan 4, but margin or error and all that).
