As Karma pointed out, the rules do provide for existing trinkets to
become Majiks by player request and Archeologist response.  Karma,
however, has not quite followed the prescribed formula, I don't think,
as he did not include a prospective sapphire bullet number.  Perhaps
he thought that the value of the trinket was the integer referred to
in the rule, and the Archeologist should look into whether or not the
request qualifies on that basis.

hey, thanks.  in that case, i think i better get started actually playing.

i hereby officially declare that i am buying a swinger's office, for
whatever price it currently is, and that i am officially naming it the
Grand Exalted Office Of The People's Republic Of Ben, altho you may all
refer to it as the office of ben.  its primary function will be to own
an army of party chess pieces, which will be used to play party chess.

i've been told that i start w/ A$ equal to the average of everybody
else's, and that i should be able to afford a swinger's office.  how do
i know how much i have left?  who keeps track of that kind of thing?  

btw, i hate to appear ungrateful, but i can't help but be curious as to
how the voting gnome profits from sponsoring me.  does he get something
out of it, that will help him in the game of ackanomic?  or are A$
really not that important in the broad scheme of successfully playing
ackanomic, that he can really afford to give me A$ purely out of the
kindness of his heart?

As far as I know, is did not publish in June, either.  I've been trying to
think of a way to take advantage of the fact that nobody seemed to notice,
but have been unsuccessful.  So, unless someone remembers something I
don't (Mr. Lunatic Fringe has explicit premission to publish in is, so
it's possible I could have missed an issue), is is belly up.

I thought I'd RSVPed too...:-)  Not that I've started working on my
Limerick yet, though.

It might also be a good idea to set an additional time limit for the end of
posting limericks and the beginning of voting.  But that's just me, and if
you don't mind people changing their votes all the time, you can do it
however you want.  :-)

Whoo hoo!  I'll join in(with my one big head)on "Stand", and do the dance.
(Love that song...), and will also join in any TMBG Congas.  (Now what
would be a good TMBG song to Conga to?  "Purple Toupee"?  "Whistling In The
Dark"?  "Mr. Me"?  "The Guitar"?)

Assuming, of course, that my invitation wasn't lost in the mail; otherwise
I'm just peering through the windows mournfully at all the joyousness
inside, and humming "Stand" to myself under my breath.

Voting Gnome receives no tangible benefit from sponsoring you.  Not
even any virtual tangible benefit.  As for A$, well, they are useful
for other things as well, but they are certainly not critical to
playing (or even succeeding) the game of Ackanomic.

I appear to be the first guest here ... no there are a couple over there.

It is good to see someone excited about party chess.  I too was very   
interested in playing when it first started.  I was swinger for a couple   
different party's but the game was going through some rough times and the   
parties kept losing members.  Anyway, the point of this message is to let   
Ben know that I too will financially support his chess playing.

As Karma pointed out, the rules do provide for existing trinkets to
become Majiks by player request and Archeologist response.  Karma,
however, has not quite followed the prescribed formula, I don't think,
as he did not include a prospective sapphire bullet number.  Perhaps
he thought that the value of the trinket was the integer referred to
in the rule, and the Archeologist should look into whether or not the
request qualifies on that basis.

hey, thanks.  in that case, i think i better get started actually playing.

i hereby officially declare that i am buying a swinger's office, for
whatever price it currently is, and that i am officially naming it the
Grand Exalted Office Of The People's Republic Of Ben, altho you may all
refer to it as the office of ben.  its primary function will be to own
an army of party chess pieces, which will be used to play party chess.

i've been told that i start w/ A$ equal to the average of everybody
else's, and that i should be able to afford a swinger's office.  how do
i know how much i have left?  who keeps track of that kind of thing?  

btw, i hate to appear ungrateful, but i can't help but be curious as to
how the voting gnome profits from sponsoring me.  does he get something
out of it, that will help him in the game of ackanomic?  or are A$
really not that important in the broad scheme of successfully playing
ackanomic, that he can really afford to give me A$ purely out of the
kindness of his heart?

later kids,
ben 

That's gratitude for ya!
