Subject: Acka: RFC: Like a rolling Stone

This has absolutely nothing to do with the current game state, it's just
something I came up with while in an extremely silly mood (OK, slightly
more silly than normal) and I wanted to see what you beings thought of it.

I purposely excluded any description of how players become Stoned; I
thought that could be done by other proposals.  Being Stoned is similar to
being Hosed, I suppose, but I think it's different enough to warrant being
added.  What do you think?

- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Create a new Rule, with a number in the 1100's which would make it unique,
with the title "Rainy Day Women #12 & #35", and the following text,
delimited by HOW DOES IT FEEL:

HOW DOES IT FEEL
While a player is Stoned, all official correspondence from em must contain
at least one line, sentence, paragraph or phrase of 7 words or more, cited
as required in Rule 210 [Literature] that fulfils one or more of the
following three conditions:

a) It contains one or more instances of some form of the word "stone."
b) It is from a work whose title contains one or more instances of some
form of the word "stone."
c) The artist cited is the Rolling Stones.

A Stoned player is also encouraged, but not required, to misspell words,
slur eir speech, and digress onto many irrelevant tangents dealing with
inconsequential trivialities [e.g. "Do you realize that this post -- THIS
POST -- consists of BILLIONS and BILLIONS of electrons?!??!!  Hey, neat, I
sound like Carl Sagan.  Except he's dead..." etc.] in all public postings.

If a player, while Stoned, posts a message which fails to fulfil one of 
the above conditions a), b) and c), any other player may call a Stoning on
em.  A Stoning is a Hearing.  It is also a Very Silly Matter.  The valid
responses to a Stoning are "No, I live in a glass house.  Plus I'm not
without sin." and "But e *did* say Jehovah."  

If the verdict is "No, I live in a glass house.  Plus I'm not without
sin." the player upon whom the Stoning was called is no longer Stoned.  In
this case, the player who called the Stoning must post an apology of at
least 10 lines to the player against whom the Stoning was called, and
thereafter becomes Square. 

If the verdict is "But e *did* say Jehovah." the player on whom the
Stoning was called becomes Martyred.  E receives a newly created I Got
Stoned For Your Sins And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt, should such an
entity exist, and must post to a public forum a rhyming poem of at least
20 lines in which e describes eir Stoning.  If the Poet Laureate publicly
posts eir approval of this poem, the player who posted the poem gains A$10
in royalties.  If the Poet Laureate publicly denounces the poem as
tasteless or invalid, the player who posted the poem must donate one of
eir trinkets, with a value of at least A$10, to the Museum in apology
for eir desecration of Art.  If e does not own such a trinket, e must
create one and donate it to the Museum.  If e does not have enough
Ackadollars to create one, e is then deemed Useless, with no further
effects.

A player shall no longer be Stoned if any one of the following three
conditions becomes true:

d) Exactly one Acka week has passed since e first became Stoned.
e) E publicly posts a message consisting of exactly four paragraphs of
two or more sentences each, the first through fourth of which begin,
respectively, with the words 'Everybody', 'Must', 'Get', and 'Stoned',
exclusive of all quotation marks.
f) E frinks Goldenseal, should such a beverage exist.

There exist non-unique, ownable, nontradeable garments each known as an   
I Got Stoned For Your Sins And All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt (hereafter
T-Shirt). Any player wearing such a T-Shirt can never have a Stoning
called against them, and may ignore all effects of being Stoned.

First of all normal people suck!
the only people that really see life as layed out on a silver platter is
those with greed and mud in yer blood. for if you have'nt all ready
realized any chemical, poison, once of any hearing seeing thinking
feeling and consumeing of mass quantities of plastic food is a ridiculus
state to be in.
I think of anything that grows natural will be consumed experimented and
anyalized for what it is. and how can we make it stronger?
you can't except through stupid words such as occult A.'.A.' Aleins
Enities and other outer space names that maybe you can be even smarter
than the average bear say a key to actually create something new and
excting. excited yet?
if you were a glass blower you can make gold
any not direct heat on glass is great for heating up mercury
fumes anyone?
or would you prefer to assume the state let the delicate skin that has
formed on the mercury 
attatch itself to a cell like membrane and lots Pure lead and little
Pure Gold can become???
but that is the secret that only the secret lodges that controlled
Hitler to do the things he did.
preservation of the Quintessence +   -  and somewhere in the middle the
symbol or label  point between the positive force (essence) and negative
or properly attuned passive recipient (salt) that represents
(manifestation) perfect medicine.
I like this formula because it still cures everything else that is wrong
with you.
starts you down another track towards individual evolvement.

I just wanted to tell people that if i had my own ka everything would be
gold.
that way i get a better pure er reception.
"we are the most advanced humans in the world on the other had we made
our eyes in another universe." 
"digitaliztion."
future 1984
hail being stoned!
it hurts!

  HOW DOES IT FEEL

i don't no? you can scrape a razor blade across my skin or skrape that
is which is related to pixies but to me feeling is an electronic impulse
that monkeys get when they are not doing what they are supposed too.

i am a vacuum
and IT sucks!

I can't remember if it worked or not tho (some question about trade
licence among
other things :), I just remember the sudden increase in the mail volume
at the time
(while I was in Gerringong, using a laptop to down load my mail on an
