> {{[This is more than just a way of getting points, it does a number of
> things. First, it is a harfy game, and I can imagine a number of cunning
> traps a player might set up. Second, it encourages players to pay attention
> to the posts of others. Third, it assures those players whose scores are
> always high that their posts are likely to be read carefully, which one
> would presume is a good thing. Fourth, it will likely reveal some
> interesting linguistic traits of Ackanomic and its players]}}
> 
> The President will keep the List-of-Harf. When a President is elected, all
> players, excluding the President, may send a private message to the
> President with two things. The name of a player, who is neither themselves
> or the President, called their target, and a word with at least 7 letters,
> called the target word. This target and associated target word will be
> recorded under that player's entry in a new List-of-Harf by the President.
> 
> After having sent their entry to the President, if a player sees a message
> from their target that contains the associated target word, then they can
> send a public message claiming this to be the case. They must state the
> message's title and when that message was posted, and say "The Harf is back
> and I want a winter cap."
> 
> The President must then check that the player's claim is correct. There are
> 3 possible replies. If true and that target word was listed only once in
> the List-of-Harf, the President must say "Indeed the Harf is back, here is
> your cap!" Otherwise, if true but the target word appears on the
> List-of-Harf more than once, by saying: "It was Blue, take a straw hat!"
> And if it is false: "Orange devil, wear sandals!"
> 
> In all cases, the player's entry is then removed from the current
> List-of-Harf. If the President replied "Indeed the Harf is back, here is
> your cap!" then that player will gain half of the points (rounded down) of
> their target's score, when that target said the claimed target word.
> 
> Just before the President's term of office ends, the current List-of-Harf
> is destroyed.
> 
> {{[Harf! Harf! Harf!]}}
