Ahhh yes... And we would like to do just that... among other things.

However we are a bit strapped on cash at the moment, due to a lack of Tammany
bribing.

However....

In order to generate revenue for the Narfalones, I have a couple of ideas in
mind.  Remember that this cash will go into the Narfalones coffer to be
redistributed in the form of wagers to all members of the family...
Raise your hand if your opposed to some of the following ideas:

Idea 1: The second bid in a Shubik auction is paid to the Narfalone Family as
part of a protection racket.

Idea 2: A casino gets built, run by the treasury with a little random number
game (weighted in favor of the house of course).  The treasury would get the
profits, but there would be an admission fee to go to the casino, and that
fee would be collected by the Narfalones.

Idea 3: As acting archeologist, the idea of a money laundering machine
blueprint has occured to me, and I'm accepting ideas for how to make it
workable....

	The naming rule only applies to named entities.  A nameless entity
can still have a nickname, or can belong to a "class" that has a nickname. 
It just isn't an official *name* that falls under the naming rules and so
forth.  I think all equipment is nameless.

I think someone should call a CFCJ on CnH for trying to illegally distribute

Subject: Acka: A fond farewell

Due to other obligations; it has become increasingly difficult for me,
over the last couple of weeks, to keep up with the game. These
obligations will only increase in the coming months. Therefore; I have,
reluctantly, come to the conclusion that I must quit the game.

I bid you all, therefore, a fond farewell. I wish you all the best.

Oh, I hate in when this happens.  If the pattern holds, one more of us will
drop dead within the next day.  Anyway, Have fun with Real Life Lestrade,
and come back to us when of these years when you have more free time.
They'll be an undead and some Uestiox waiting for you.

This is, IMOH, a truly fantastic proposal. I urge everyone to vote 
YES. Minimal work, maximal Harf. Harf on, CnH

The senate can vote to approve the sale of the land Cow Town sits on
to snowgod, but I still don't see anything in the rules that would
allow snowgod to buy Cow Town itself.  I think I'll fix this...

We have no financier, but I've noted the transaction on the entity page
and map.

There was once a treasure buried
With a map to it both silly and rabid,
That without Robert Sevin's webpage,
And fourteen squared that's not an age
From almighty one we must start
With lonely zero on his own, apart,
Perhaps the lucky one will see
Differences in numbers to his glee

I can only imagine what will happen when you find Pheobe and introduce him
to Phil (who's name I must admit throws me everytime, being as it is the
same as my own, or would be were I not know as snowgod).

I see a silver moon in your future, You can call me Al.

I am creating a trinket called "Han Solo".  It is shaped like a man frozen in
Carbonite and valued at $A50.  I'm offering it to You Can Call Me Al in trade
for Phil, the tick of acerbic wit and wisdom.
