I apologize for the delay. Call for Judgment 716 - Jan 5, 1998 Subject: Illuminatus Win Condition Initiator: JT (Sent Dec 30 1998, 10:50 Acka) Judge: WoHo Judgement: Statement: JT has an Unclaimed Winning Condition by Rule 431 (H number H6-5-6) (Illuminatus). Reasoning: The Magic Number is 233. The rule mentioned above makes it a Priveledge of the Illuminatus to win by points if it is publically knowable that eir score is greater than 5/6ths of the Magic Number. 5/6ths of the Magic Number is 194. According to K 2's current score page, I have a score of 202. 202 is greater than 194. K 2 also posted a message showing that I had passed (and how) the 195 point mark. Therefore this CFJ should be ruled TRUE. -- Trent Acting CotC, Butthead, Crazy French-Scotsman, Daring Adventurer, DeeJay, Dungeon Master, Grey Councillor, Really Weird, Rules-Harfer, Worker Caste, Weird ------------------------------ From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Acka: CFJ 717 (else...if) Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 17:13:20 -0500 (EST) else...if has been selected.

Studge ------------------------------ From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Acka: CFJ 715 (FALSE) Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 17:22:15 -0500 (EST) Trent has ruled this FALSE Call for Judgment 715 - Jan 5, 1998 Subject: Royal Frinks Initiator: Eric. (Sent Dec 28 1998, 21:00 Acka) Judge: Trent Judgement: FALSE Statement: Ali'i Macadamia Nut Ale is a Royal Frink. Reasoning: "Ali'i" means "royal" or "royalty" in Hawaiian. Judge's Reasoning: Ali'i Macadamia Nut Ale is not defined as a frink. (although the act of frinking it is explicitly allowed by the rules) The Court can only say that the territory of the frink, and of frinking, needs to be explored in greater detail. Frinks are not a class of entity, and although one entity (RHGJ) is a frink, one non-entity (lager) is as well. The Court frowns on this as a throwback to a darker age, an age of implicit entityhood and of non-heirarchical rules. It is the hope of this Court that the voters of Ackanomic take it upon themselves to remedy this situation as soon as possible. -- Trent Acting CotC, Butthead, Crazy French-Scotsman, Daring Adventurer, DeeJay, Dungeon Master, Grey Councillor, Really Weird, Rules-Harfer, Worker Caste, Weird ------------------------------ From: Gabe Drummond-Cole Subject: Re: Acka: Choosing a major Date: Tue, 05 Jan 1999 17:50:08 -0500 (EST) I believe this would mean that else...if's major declaration also failed.
