>         The Wise Man has these powers: On a "nay" vote to a proposal, the
> Wise Man's vote counts as two votes. He has no added power when voting
> "yes", however. The Wise Man's powers are expressly limited to these.
>         Because of this power, I am introducing a "Wise Man @boot". A Wise
> Man @boot may be called for anytime. A player who wishes a wise man @boot
> will send this request to the list. The time that the wise man @boot
> request was sent will be logged. All other players now have 48 hours to
> vote on the wise man @boot, at which time the votes will be tallied. If the
> wise man @boot succeeds, the wise man is booted out of office.
>         Only one wise man can be elected at a time, and there are no
> secondary wise men (vice wise man, etc.). The only way a new wise man can
> take office is if the current one is wiseman @booted.
>         The first (and only) election for wise man will start immediately
> after this proposal's acceptance, and will end one week after the start.
>         In the vote for a Wise Man @boot, a Wise Man may not vote, much
> less get his Wise Man voting powers.

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2338

Proposal 2338
Three Blind Mice
Karma (Jordan James)

This is a Modest proposal.

- - -----------------------

To create an entity called the "Anti-Mouse Potatoe".

This Potatoe is very similar to the "Magic Potato" except this tuber has a
long sinewy tail stapled to its larger end, and three clickable buttons
taped on its narrower end. 

The "Anti-mouse Potatoe" is distributed randomly to players exactly the way
the "Magic Potato" is. The possesor of the "Anti-Mouse Potatoe" may, within
the game of Ackanomic, be alotted an additional full day to reply to
anything that has a limited time for response. 

The "Anti-Mouse Potatoe" may be stolen before the end of a cycle and not
before 4 days from the chosen holder of this entity by anyone who holds
simultaniously in his possesion a
 
"Rank Piece of Cheese" 
and a
 "better Mouse trap". 

These are created at the same time as the creation of the "AMP" (Anti-Mouse
Potatoe). 

These latter two non-tradable entities serve only the purpose of aquiring
the "AMP" and will commence to be distibuted only after the first holder of
the "AMP" has gone through a cycle and the second random player is chosen
to hold the "AMP". When the second player holds the "AMP" the first will
get the "Rank Piece of Cheese". When the third is chosen to have the "AMP"
the second gets a "Better Mouse Trap". {{after that it will have a logical
pattern.}}
