No! *Zap* No! *Zap* etc) I notitced that the machine that goes *ping* had slunk back under my house. It has teleported elsewere after I surfed down the river and was subsequently found guilty of poluting the river; Anyway, after some discussion I forgave it and its now happily employed as a power source for the electrodes. IF AND ONLY IF today ****** *** ****** ********** *** *** ***** *** ** ** ** ******, THEN the Machine That Goes *ping* shall go *ping*.

Thank you for pointing it out, though I'd been keeping an eye on it :) >For the interested - JT: > >10: passed 2 Modest Proposals (3909, 3935) >90: passed 9 Non-Modest Proposals >(3881,3887,3899,3910,3914,3916,3924,3954,3955) > 9: E was blessed with the Magic Potato for 3 proposals (3935,3916,3924) > > 2: E was blessed with the Great Tuba for 2 proposals (3954,3955) >15: participated in a chrome streak (+15) >-4: lost four points due to various proposal effects >73: E voted 74 times (1 null proposal); 32 No, 42 Yes >-- >195 You forgot the point for everyone for the parade for P3876. Please add this into the score soon :) --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: A small pointing out Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 14:08:12 -0500 (EST) I noticed that Trent's allrules.html already reflect the new numbering scheme. That numbering doesn't actually take place until tomorrow, one week from when the proposal was accepted. The proposal was accepted on Thu, 24 Dec 1998 18:21:47 -0500 (EST). This is important as any CWCFJs submitted before that time or other necessary references to the rules need to refer to the current rule number not the new rule number at that time. --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: John Frederic Mc Coy Subject: Re: Acka: Tarnished Chrome Date: Wed, 30 Dec 1998 16:20:40 -0500 (EST) On Wed, 30 Dec 1998, K 2 wrote: > "The makers of the Chrome Streak shall be awarded 5 bonus points!" > > P3909-P3918 > > With this JT gets 15 points, O Olde Alpha and Trent get 10 points, > else...if and Vynd get 5 points. > > K 2 > > Yay!
