Subject: acka: trinket creation

I hearby create the following trinkets.

The Sceptre of banna #0, valued at 5A$.  This is a banana-sized,
banana-shaped, and banana-colored sceptre.  To the Enlightened, it
radiates the banna Nature.

The Sceptre of banna #1, valued at 5A$.  This is also banana-sized,
shaped, and colored.  It radiates the banna Nature.  I give the Sceptre of
banna #1 to Slakko.

The Sceptre of banna #2, valued at 5A$.  This is yet another banana-sized,
shaped and colored sceptre.  It radiates the banna Nature.  I give the
Sceptre of banna #2 to The Gingham Wearer.

The Sceptre of banna #3, valued at 5A$.  It will suprise no one that this
is a banana-sized and shaped sceptre, which radiates the banna Nature. 
It is, however, red.  I give the Sceptre of banna to Red Barn.

In that case, I vote against Slakko's suggestion as well (assuming he was

Actually there is a two-stage thing here. As Odo Delegate I have a
majority vote in the Synod, and as Yor-Delegate, I can carry out the
decisions.

Thank you Rufus for this kind and generous gift. I shall carry it with me
wherever I may go that we may spread enlightenment as to the true nature of
banna to all that we may encounter.

I believe that this last action fails because you haven't specified which
Sceptre of banna it is you wish to give.

The Gingham Wearer.

Subject: Acka: Phoebe

I was down in my basement listening intently to the machine that goes
*ping* when I heard a knock on my door (and believe me, that's no easy task
when the door's made from gingham). I quickly set up a tape recorder to
ensure I didn't miss a *ping* and went to answer the door. It was the
milkman. I paid him what I owed him and went back downstairs only to be
greeted by the cacophony of sound that is two fleas arguing. It was Phoebe
and Ursula. 
"What are you two arguing about?" I asked. They both looked at me.
"Well, go on."
"I don't know" muttered Ursula.
"Then couldn't you just be friends?"
"Fine", said Phoebe, "After all, she did volunteer for the job in the
machine which I didn't want."

Steal fleas are nothing if not logical.

I hereby put myself on Vacation, with an expected return date of December
27th.  (Though I should be back on the evening of the 26th.)  I haven't
updated the web pages today, not even to reflect my being on Vacation.
Hopefully anybody that gets appointed an Acting Officer in my stead can
get away with not doing anything.  (Though I'm not sure of the legality
of, say, sending Treasure-Harfer nominations to a vacationing President,
so send them both to me and to the Acting President, as necessary.)  I'll
unofficially recommend Niccolo Flychuck as Acting President...

Y'all have fun, now.
