The members or the organization named "the Supreme Court" are
Justices.

How about basing it on the weather in Puxatawni, Penn.  If the barometric
pressure is below 29.92 in/hg 3 hours after the message is posted it fails,
otherwise it succeeds. You know, the national weather service, and
wunderground.org are very reliable and you could always have it revert to
randomness if the service was unavailable.

Subject: Acka: I'm Off

In an hour or two I'll be going down to Edmonton for a job interview; I
probably won't be back until tomorrow night sometime.  And this time I'm
probably not going to have email access until I'm back.  So any
web-harfing, scorekeeping, financiering, etc. will have to wait until then.
So nobody win a Cycle or anything, okay?

I'm hoping the thread mishmash will clear up by the time I'm back.  At the
very least, I'll know whether or not ThinMan has given up on our Duel...:-)

Before I go...

If I still have the Gravitational Monopole, and it's not stuck to
some building, I'm going to Rex Mundi's House, and with an appropriate
expression of bravado pushing the red button.

I am flying over to Niccolo Flychuck's house to help him reattach it.
We need one more player.

The only other non-undead non-tired one is fnord, but he's been asleep for
a while...  Also, since a house can be done so easily with the Monopole,
maybe you'd rather go over to the Museum or something?  Just a thought.

It's still not clear what the unique name is for each separate
trinket.

Do numbers 6 through 16 have the names: "Luke 6", "Luke 7", "Luke 8",
on up to "Luke 16"? Or are they called "Luke 1", "Luke 2", "Luke 3",
on up to "Luke 11"?

Unless fnord suddenly comes back to life, somebody out there should
purchase some wings. Otherwise, this will have to wait for the rest of
us to finish resting.

Subject: Acka: Priest for Hire

Though the Church of the Markovian Dream has been reduced to cult status, 
no game events have occurred that would strip away my Priest status.

As a result of this (and my current good standing with the weather gods), 
any player that gives me A$10 between now and the Autumnal Tornado will 
receive a blessing to save their dangling house from the terrible fate of 
being blown off the face of the Earth.  Will also accept payment on 
behalf of Vacationing players who cannot know the peril their home is in.

Currently the only vacationing players we have are Atilla the Pun and
Darth Vader. We do have a number of players who seem to be informally
vacationing, however, based on their voting records....
