Technically, you are pending, not active, until you the results for the 
first proposal which you voted on are released. (This distinction is 
basically there just to prevent new players from contributing to 
quorum failures or being assigned things like CFJ's before they show 
that they are serious about playing the game. You can vote on any 
proposal that is currently in its voting period by sending your vote to 
the tabulator (currently Malenkai) just as though you were an Active 
player.

Checking my email logs, I find that Karma, two-star, and Niccolo Flychuck
reattached the Hall of Elders.  (Oh, god, I'm Map-Harfer now, aren't I?  I
have to keep track of this stuff.  :-/  Can everyone just go back to their
homes until I get this sorted out?  :-)

So, anyway, I seem to recall that I was hovering near the Ackanomic

Nope.  You're "pending".  See, that way new players, some of which never
actively participate in the game, don't cause mass quorum failures when
they first join if they don't vote.  If you do vote, then you become Active
when it's first publicly knowable that you've voted(i.e. when the Tabulator
releases the results on the first proposal you voted on).  And then the
people with Whamiols get scads of points.  :-)

I joined during a time of voting problems too.  The aliens had just
abducted Rule 106, which governs voting on proposals, the day before I
joined.

> I thought if there was a time to vote, my mentor would tell me.

Hey, that's up to him.  You can always vote for Proposal 2276, which I just
distributed a few days ago.  Matter of fact, _I_ should vote for that.
(What, you wanna know what it's about?  Just vote YES.  That's all you need
to know.  :-)

You are, however, a _voting_ player(Active and Pending players are both
voting).

Sorry, this fails, due to the non-voting player thing.  It will have
to wait a couple of days.  The Inventor is a non-optional office,
thus the nomination lasts until it is claimed.  Currently there are
no eligible players to claim it :)

Actually, since I unofficially volunteered for map harfer before the 
nomination period, and forgot to volunteer after it, I suppose I can 
unoficially volunteer again.

I was planning to go to the empty land occupied by cow town, but forgot 
to do it before it got returned. *sigh* Of course buying the land from

You will be acktive as soon as it is publically knowable that you voted.
You may vote on any proposal which is currently in the queue.  You will
find proposals in your email messages entitled Ackanomic Voting Digest.
You may wish to ask Malenkai if he has a preference for how to submit your
votes.

Subject: Acka: I'm Sorry.

By this message, I am leaving the game of Ackanomic.

I've been debating this for a long time, and I think it's something I have
to do.  This game is just not as much fun for me as at used to be, and I
don't theink the pleasure I derive from it surpasses the amount of energy I
put into it any longer.  I think the departures of Bascules and Chaos were
the proverbial straw that broke the camels back.

I will miss all of my friends in Ackanomic, and I have many here.  I hope
to remain in contact with all of you. Just as the ghosts of Bascule, and of
Wayne sometime roll over in there graves, so will I.  To that end, I wish
to remain subscribed to the mailing lists for awhile as an observer.

Now, for a few technicalities.

#1 - Voting Gnome has found the you can't bury land treasure.  Sorry I
never got that treasure hunt going.  The actualy map to the treasure read
"This treasure will be found by whoever Mr. Lunatic Fringe says found it".
I am now donating my 4 kaa of land to Voting Gnome as persuant to the
contract he just found.

It is my last wish that Voting Gnome distribute this land however he sees
fit.  If he can use it to advance the rebellion, the synod, or any non
selyan religion of his choice, so much the better.  Furthermore, I wish for
him to keep one kaa for himself.

Everything else I own I donate to Mr. Robert Sevin, the honorable senator.
He may keep what he wishes of my possesions, but whatever he doesn't want,
I would appreciate it if he would distribute it as he sees fit (with the
exception of vulcan ownership - Long live the rebellion!)

Sorry if this will add any additional work to any of the officers (or
psued-officers).  The only real office I hold anymore is Registrar (and
possibly Yor_Delegate).  This is going to leave my protege in a wee bit of
a prediciment, I fear.  Just joined and still no mentor.  Have no fear,
whiz.  I will continue to mentor you from beyond the grave.  PLease, don't
have any qualms about sending me your questions still.

Finally, I wish to to give my thanks to everyone here for making the last
year and a half so much fun.  May we all meet again soon.

Subject: Acka: Land Purchase

It seems that my benighted Priest, Rex Mundi, has misread the Map of
Ackanomic.  Or, rather, he read the graphics but not the text.  Since L5 is
the location of Ace Rimmer's house, and Ace Rimmer is still a player,
surely it could not have been bought by him.  Perhaps he misread the label
of kaa of land L3 or L1 instead.

Since specific labels on kaas of land are merely an artifact of the
Map-Harfer, I am declaring in that capacity that Rex Mundi bought,
and donated to the Church, kaa L3.

I nominate Mr. Lunatic Fringe to the hall of elders, I nominate Mr. Nacho to
the hall of elders, and I nominate snowgod to the hall of elders.

ALSO I second Mr. Lunatic Fringe to the hall of elders, I second Mr. Nacho
to the hall of elders, and I second snowgod to the hall of elders.

That should cover any contingency, I believe. :)

Shut up, you're dead.  As a matter of fact...

I am using my wings to fly backward to where the Undead of Mr. Lunatic
Fringe is located.  (Where is that?  Last seen at the Pirate Ship Revenge,
but maybe undeads go to their haunts when they die.)

I am destroying Mr. Lunatic Fringe's Treasure Toga #5(seems appropriate)...

I am saying "Mr. Lunatic Fringe Mortoo Tomboo Miyi".

Now, this is the tricky part, and where I screwed up last time...but I am
the Financier, so I have authoritative information: I give A$60(10% of my
wealth)to...oh, shoot, this depends on the thread.  Well, in the thread
where GF Mini-storage has 2 spell books of Chorg, I give A$60 to Guy
Fawkes.  In the other thread, I give A$60 to Rex Mundi.  In fact, being the
generous guy I am, I'll give A$60 to Rex Mundi and A$54(10% of my revised
funds)to Guy Fawkes.  Yeah.

Now, I think that I control the Undead of Mr. Lunatic Fringe.  My problem
now is, as Undead-Harfer, how the heck do I represent this on the web
pages?  :-/

Nah, I decided that it was too much work for something not very important,

I think that rule was repealed.  Welcome back.  There's been a _wee_ bit of
upheaval in the last little while, like Chaos and Mr. Lunatic Fringe
leaving(you can still second Mr. LF's nomination to the Hall of Elders if
you hurry), the recent quorum crisis mostly due to Acrobot crashing and
Chaos not having time to fix it(you're one of..._four_ active players right
now, I guess), and my job disappearing so I was unable to take over all of
/dev/joe's Offices.  Though I've got a bunch.  (Check the PE page off of my
Acka page; the other one is somewhat out of date.)

I support the nomination of snowgod to the hall of elders. I support 
the nomination of Mr. Lunatic Finger to the hall of elders. I support--

To the best of my knowledge your call for a CFCJ was not successful to
begin with.

Though please note you left off the "Acka:" in your subject line, so
this is technically not a public message....

Great! Does this mean I'm going to stop getting bounce messages from
your address?

BTW, note that I am now the [Acting] Postmaster. If you decide to move
from the digest version, send you requests to [email-masked]
and NOT [email-masked].
