Remember that we (Mr Lunatic Fringe, Alfvaen, and myself) cannot
reattach another building until we rest for three days.

At that time, I will join you at the Hall of Elders.

Well that's close, although not exactly right.  My point, however, is
that the game will not crash if there is no Promoter or no Tabulator
for a week.  Right now Chaos is still filling those positions,
and [presumably] doing his duty through the 'bot.  The question is moot
at this point, though.

If you will check the email archives, Chaos said he would not be reading   
his mail unless the subject line was CHAOS.  The web bot is down and I   
believe he has to "feed" the email bot.  If he is not reading mail, he   
cannot do his job as Tabulator.  I have volunteered for the job and am   
willing to try using at least the email bot.

He did not have to feed the e-mail 'bot in the past if the subject
line was correct (i.e., contained "Acrobot").  In any case, as long as
Chaos is Tabulator we cannot fill the position with anyone else.  If
anyone feels that Chaos is neglecting his duties then an IP would seem
to be in order.  If it were me, though, I would at least try to contact
him first to see what the situation really was.

Well, it might be time to get the second wave in here.  That's Karma,
Niccolo Flychuck, and...uh...fnord.  Never mind.  :-)

Well, /dev/joe has resigned as Map-Harfer, and with no President we have no
way to get a new one.  And /dev/joe is still on Vacation, even.

But, essentially, all player homes are dangling except for mine, and
breadbox's(which has the Monopole on it and is in an indeterminate state
until the Dice Server is consulted...:-), and all public buildings are
dangling except for the Library, which Mr. Lunatic Fringe, breadbox and I
just reattached.

I'd forgotten, but after three winged players get together to reattach a
building, they need to rest three days.  And while there are three other
winged players--you, now, Niccolo Flychuck, and fnord, I haven't seen
anything from fnord in quite a while, so you might need to wait for the
three days to be over.  :-/

Actually, reattaching it may be tricky when it returns (if it doesn't 
reattach automatically), since only criminals in gaol and the gaoler may 
go there. It occurs to me that three winged players are a prime number, 
and may even now be conspiring to commit Zuriti'ili.

Alfvaen, you have my permission (if you need it) to come to my house to
reattach it with the GM. I would be grateful if you would do so. For a man
of your skill, this should be no problem...
