If I still can (i.e., the period has not expired) I bid A$66 in this
auction.  (The one with the 2 Go Fish cards put up for auction by the
RuneMaker.)

I was just about to say that! Abusing the gifts given unto you by Elder Red
Barn. Still, at least I managed to get the sceptre of banna out before you
destroyed it.

JT, I don't think this is valid.  You were Huberted out by Koxvolio, who
bid A$75 even though e didn't need to.  (The two top bidders -- currently
Koxvolio at A$75 and me at A$66 -- will each get a card, unless the
auction rules have changed when I wasn't looking.)

Subject: Acka: Fin: Sneaky Fulfilment of Election Promises

I create a trinket, called "$100", excluding quotes, of value A$2, and
with
the description:

"It looks like someone cut the corners off a two dollar Ackabill, pasted
over the picture of Elder Wayne with one of Elder Malenkai, and stuck some
A$100 reproduction corners on it.  The legal tender jargon has been
retouched to read 'This note is valid for fulfilment of election
promises.'"

I give the Trinket $100 to Hubert.

I would suggest to Hubert that giving the $100 Trinket to ThinMan would be
a good idea in the interests of everyone.

Yours,
Slakko

Say the name of the person you want to give you the trinket, according to
my campaign promise, and I'll see what I can do.

Subject: Acka: Fin: More Stupid Trinkets (You Asked For It!)

This is a lesson in "How to make the Financier's life a living hell."

I am creating 10 trinkets, each valued at A$1, and each with the
description "It looks an awful lot like the counterfeit $100 Trinket that
was created a little while earlier".  The names of these Trinkets are:

A$100
100 Dollars
100 Ackadollars
A$ One Hundred
One Hundred Dollars
One Hundred Ackadollars
A Hundred Dollars
A Hundred A$
A Hundred Ackadollars
A Hundred Bucks

I gift all of these above-created trinkets to Hubert, with the suggestion
that e distribute each one to a player who voted for me in the most recent
Presidential election, after they have said the word "Hubert", correctly
spelt, and with no sneaky asterisks or anything, in the Public Forum.

I thank Slakko for the wonderful gift, and consider destroying these for
cash, but I'm not that hard up yet.

I gift the trinket known as "A$100" to rufus.
I gift the trinket known as "A$ One Hundred" to JT.
I gift the trinket known as "One Hundred Dollars" to Slakko.
I gift the trinket known as "One Hundred Ackadollars" to Attila the Pun.

I really wish I'd voted for Slakko...
