I launch myself out the nearest window (immediately begging the question, do
acka houses have windows?  Since there does not seem to be a rule prohibiting
them, my house does in fact have a window, about the size of a person and
conveniently left open so that winged folk can in fact launch themselves out
of it) and fly off towards De'ghew's house, waiting to rendezvous with other
flyers so that we can re attach it.

Subject: Acka: I'm Back 

I am returning from vacation.

I did indeed move my computer on friday as I had planned but a horrible
accident involving my modem and the door of my truck occured rendering me
incommunicado until about 5 hours ago when I purchased a new modem.

Oh well, I am reclaiming all of my former offices.  BTW, I have a ton of
Acka mail to catch up on and it will take me a couple of days so if
something needs my immediate attention please sent me a message with the
subject line IN ALL CAPS!

BTW, Niccolo, did you get the messages I redirected to you from Blob and
someone else?

IdiotBoy! What a welcome surprise.

And what a coincidence: I *just now* sent off a proposal to fix the
Newspaper rule so that players couldn't be charged with committing a
crime by sending private email (the way you were over the Hot Tips
Newsletter).

That whole incident has been bugging me ever since it happened, and
getting the Magic Potato this week reminded me that I still hadn't
tried to do anything about it. So I finally did.

Welcome back!

Give me a break. Donations to the Society imply that the earth is FLAT
- - otherwise, why would you be giving them money?

There is a difference between implying that the earth is round, and
indicating that you would LIKE the earth to be round in the future.

Thanks, Niccolo.  I entered a vote on the witchhunt, which I think will make
me an active player soon.. as soon as I know how much Acka$ I have, we're
going to break that A$20 barrier.

I didn't write it, but somebody managed to get a proposal passed that
created a Museum "near the library".  There being no vacant land near the
library, some houses had to be moved.  Your house survives, but it is over
with the newer players' houses; plot J7 on the map.

*ahem*  I hereby would like to read this lovely and  wonderful
8 line poem I have writtn in honor of the Party Hall Party not occurring.
Just remember, thanks to the swingers, you get to enjoy this fine
piece of poetic art.

The feathers flew, the breezes blew,
As valiantly they tried it.
They all had known, should not have shown,
The tact of being quiet.

A sad and sorry little tale,
Is being written without no ale.
As now we watches our quorum fail,
We really ought to make sure we vote on proposals once we see them in our e-mail.

Thenk yew!

snowgod has returned from vacation, so you are no longer Acting Gaoler, and
the duty falls to snowgod.  While that was a nice awfully-written poem,
it doesn't meet the requirements of the Party Hall Party rule.

Subject: Acka: My house.

Well, on waking from the Ackanomic Graveyard I headed over to where my
home used to be.. Gone.. a newly created Mseum sitting in its place. My
kindly (former) neighbor /dev/joe was able to point me to where my home had
been hurriedly moved.

I'm none too pleased.  The mirrored globe which hung in the midst of the
cieling of FunkyTown is cracked!  I want to know who was responsible
(perhaps irresponsible is the correct term) for my move.

I can't even see the Senate from here in the Backwaters, cos of the jammin'
tower.

Oh yeah, good to be back.
