I ducked, and it followed me, so I was naturally worried. Fortunately, its speed slowed as it tended towards impact, and an inch short of my nose it stopped, hovered, and Phoebe opened up one end. "Hey Phoebe", I said, unimaginatively. "Sorry, can't stop now", she replied. "I'm off to leave Acka for good. You guys have had enough of my wisdom, to the point where you're taking me for granted and ignoring me. Your rules are becoming complex, and your methods for voting are driving the potential newbies away. I'll go find some nice other nomic to populate for a while - I'm sure they could use my wisdom." I was horrified at this, but could do nothing as I watched the matchbox speed up again. "Don't leave us, Phoebe!" I cried. She only shouted one thing as she soared up into the stratosphere again: "APRIL FOOL!" -- Duncan C.

Have a good weekend Acka, and btw, Happy birthday + 2 days to me :) --Dragon Mage (soon), joined Acka on March 30, 1998 -- [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ From: jobollin@iumsc4.chem.indiana.edu (John Bollinger) Subject: Acka: President IdiotBoy Date: Thu, 01 Apr 1999 13:31:45 -0500 (EST) Congratulations President IdiotBoy! I can think of no more capable and deserving Ackan who also nominated for the job and was able to garner the votes and dice-server endorsement to win it.

You also need to check that K2 followed all the other limits on exercising the rule, but besides the limit on the word change which K2 clearly followed, the others limit players to not doing this too often, and as it's never been done before... Also note that only quoted instances of the word in that rule change, not any unquoted instances or any instances in other rules, should you find any. You may not find any this time, but later, who knows what the word will be.
