Subject: Acka: End of Cycle Events

Before the end of the cycle stuff, I note that Swann was on ice for
60 days as of Apr 11, 19:28 EDT, and was removed from the game at that
time.

Here's what happens for the end of the cycle, by Rule 666:

a: play is suspended

b: undead stop haunting chartreuse goose eggs, victory eggplants, and
right-handed grapefruit, and then all such entities are destroyed.
(bascule, red barn, robert sevin, techno, and (undead) jammer had CGE's;
bascule had a victory eggplant and malenkai had a RHG)

c: /dev/joe gets a RHG and a champion's cloak (which immediately becomes
a badge of glory)

d: players with 0 or negative scores get CGE's
(carsesrac, SMH, robert sevin, techno, ackers, snowgod, red barn, bascule)

e: if half the A$ are "in circulation" or in trinkets, there is a tax.
Players have A$20282, organizations have A$252, and all the trinkets
are worth a combined A$5142.  This is far less than the A$37500 needed
to trigger the tax.

f: Each player is awarded A$ equal to his score minus his eggplant weight.

The final scores for cycle 12 were:

Score   Ackanomic Name   Status  Real Name
- -----   --------------      ---  -------------
88      Malenkai             A   (Randy Hall)

- -30     Red Barn             A   (Daniel Knapp)
- -41     Bascule              Av  (Matt Black)

The eggplant weights were -75 for malenkai, and -15 each for bascule,
/dev/joe, mohammed, robert sevin, thinman.

g: bond payments are held in suspension (i.e., no dividends are generated
for scoring since the last dividends)

h: the eggplant weights are recalculated (mine is now -30) and each
of the players with negative eggplant weights gets a victory eggplant

i: bond payments are reinstituted as if each player's score was his current
eggplant weight at the beginning of this bond cycle

j: If the cycle lasted more than 30 days, all players on vacation the
entire cycle are removed from the game.  The cycle lasted from
Mar 13, 17:13 EST to Apr 12, 23:55 EDT, a period of 30 days and 5+ hours.
However, the only player who would have been on vacation the entire
cycle, Swann, was actually removed for the 60-day on ice rule a day
earlier.

k: the game cycle number is incremented (to 13) and the magic number is
reset (stays at 541)

l: all players in Gaol are released (nobody, but I could have broken
snowgod out of Gaol by doing this about a week ago if I had had a
vending machine then)

m: (prevents infinite win crashes -- does not apply now)

n: other end-of-cycle events happen.

Rule 593: the Archaeologist seat is transferred to the player with the
highest prime score not equal to the magic number when the cycle ended.
(darn, I knew there was something else I was supposed to do!!)
breadbox gets it with a score of 53.

Rule 667: the fat lady will sing when the speaker announces it

Rule 670: we had a commission d'arts when cycle 11 began, and it hasn't
been 60 days so we don't have one this time.

o: play resumes

I am calling for a forehead tribunal against /dev/joe in accordance with
R915, Paragraphs II and III.

>Prosthetic Foreheads are unique. No two Prosthetic Foreheads are

>

The offending forehead, one out of several, but one specifically for the
purposes of this tribunal, is forehead #155 (The Old Elvis), which I claim,
and no one cany deny bears too great a resemblance to The Young Elvis.

I then call a second Forehead Tribunal, this one against a forehead in the
158-250 series, that being the head of Simon Marty Harriman, a head which
can only be described as identical to the head of Simon Marty Harriman that
was created by mr cwm on Tuesday, the 23rd of July, 1996.

>The second is exactly like Simon Marty Harriman's real forehead, to the
>extent that such similarity is legal. That is, it only differs enough as
>is necessary to comply with the Rules. I intend to keep this Prosthetic
>Forehead in storage, to be sold in the event that Prosthetic Foreheads
>become very valuable.

I call now, for a third forehead tribunal.  This tribunal is called against
another forehead in the 158-250 series, specifically the forehead of mr
cwm, which I caim bears too great a resemblance to the forehead described
below (and also created by mr cwm on the 23rd of July).

>The first is exactly like my real forehead, to the extent that such
>similarity is legal. That is, it only differs enough as is necessary to

I urge all Ackanomians to vote against /dev/joe's horrible misuse of
prosthetic foreheads.  We can't let that tyranny continue.  Speak up,
Ackanomia.  Say "'is Toppy's a copy!"

Subject: Acka: Please Read (financier)

Please read all of this.  You'll make my life much easier. :o)

Good news and bad news.  The good news is that I know what I want to do 
with the bot so it can handle financier stuff.  The bad news is that it 
took me this long to get here, and I have to try and get everyone to use 
yet another different format for trades.  There are three different commands.
Do not try to send these commands to the bot; it won't accept them from 
anyone but the financier.  Instead, put them in your message and I'll 
take care of the rest-- it's just a *lot* easier on me if you use the 
right format so all I have to do is cut & paste.

If you cannot remember the format and don't want to go look it up, just 
try and get it somewhere close... but by following the format, however 
weird it looks, you will get to be my best friend...

========================================

For simple trades, gifts, and the like, use #transfer.  The format is:

#transfer giver, recipient : [quantity] type : the date and other comments

Some examples for the past month...

#transfer devjoe, fnord:jukkasjarvi fragment 1 : Mar 28 1907
#transfer fnord, devjoe:jukkasjarvi fragment 12

#transfer Buried, /dev/joe : Staff of the Silicon Python : Apr 2 2350

#transfer Malenkai, you can call me al: earth : Earth Auction - Mar 30 0949
#transfer You can call me Al , Malenkai: 112 A$ : Earth Auction

==============================

For creating a trinket, use #trinket.  (For trading trinkets, though, you 
can use #transfer as above.)

#trinket your name : Trinket's name : trinket value : comment

The trinket's name should appear *exactly* as you want it (anywhere *else*
in these commands, caps and spaces don't matter).  That's the name
it'll get in the bot records forevermore.

For example, what IdiotBoy did earlier this month looks like this:

#trinket IdiotBoy: Original Rules Manuscript : 500 : Apr 5 1150
#trinket IdiotBoy: Lucky Ball and Chain : 50 : Apr 5 1150
#transfer IdiotBoy, Buried : Original Rules Manuscript, \
    Lucky Ball and Chain, 5 PFTechno : Apr 5 1153

Yes, you can split lines, but throw a backslash at the end please.  And, 
you can #transfer several different things together, using commas to 
separate.

==========================================================

For anything else, use #award.

#award player name : [+-] [quantity] type  [: date and comments]

#award carsesrac : 1010 A$ : joined the game - Apr 7 2213
#award niccolo flychuck : Silver Stripe
#award mohammed : -9 A$ : late fees as SC justice
#award niccolo flychuck : 25 A$ : chess-umpire salary
#award Narf : -18 A$ : chartreuse goose salary
#award Malenkai : -110 A$, +evil ballot stuffer : Auction - 1953 Apr 11

The bot's fairly smart; if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

CnH and Malenkai should be glad to know this-- the bot now takes commands 
like this--

#vote 1900 y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y \
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y \
 y y y y

- --as many lines as you can cut & paste, as long as you have a \ at the 
end of each one.  (The \ really does glue the two lines together; that is,

#submit proposal Banananananananananana\
nanananananananafish

makes a proposal with a one-word title, not a two-word title.)

The wind long carried the sound of screaming, and though days went by
quickly in the spring, the memory of that dark night lingered in tales of
darkness across Ackanomia. Legends told of the form that seemed to spring
from the night itself, the pale white of its face split only by the red glow
of its eyes. When the sun rose to drive away Sister Night, a trail remained
- - a trail of tears, which the Old Ones spoke of as being caused by
mortification. The trail led into the Wilds of Ackanomia, but no one ever
followed the glimmering path beyond its final location in Ackanomica, the
home of You can call me Al, which never again saw life. There are stories of
lights flickering there, at night...but no one dares venture in, and only
Phil the Aluminum Tick, Al's most trusted confidante, can say what his final
words to the populace were.

Of course, he came back shortly thereafter, and this whole melodrama trailed
away into the pitiful sniveling of a mortified Ackanomian. BTW, I forgot to
ship Phil's pillbox with him, so I'm just saying, "Hell with it." He can
find his own pillbox. I'm destroying the Pillbox in a hail of flame, to
redeem it for its (surprisingly small, considering its stylishness) monetary
value.

You can call me Al -A Pillbox (trinket destruction)
You can call me Al +5 A$ (value of destroyed trinket)

The first person to give me A$45 and tell me the capital of Estonia
gets an Otzma Card of type 'Fix my Gadget', if they want it.  Each
subsequent player who gives me A$45 will be told the capital of 
both Latvia and Lithuania, whether they want it or not.

ThinMan receives the magic potato and is beldin's tailer.
IdiotBoy gets the tuba.

The aliens put back rule 1309, with whatever changes they made.

Alien rolls:

1792
1090
271

None of these are rules.
