The Following Otzma Cards have been chosen:

Deterministic: 2 Art Thief, 3 Grave Robber
Probabilistic: 2 Go Fish, 2 Skeleton Key, 1 Art Thief, 1 Scientist for a
Day, 1 Untouch Me, 1 Fix My Gadget.

A Summon Tornado creation attempt failed.

I am announcing the end of the Otzma Day, with 13 cards created.

There will now be 7 Auctions, each consisting of all cards of a single
type that have been created.  So the auctions are for:

3 Grave Robber
3 Art Thief
2 Skeleton Key
2 Go Fish
1 Scientist for a Day
1 Untouch Me
1 Fix My Gadget

Each player can only get at most one of each type of card in this kind of
auction.  (i.e. a bid in the 3 Grave Robbers auction is for 1 Grave Robber
card - the top three distinct player bids are winners).

Yours,
Slakko

Actually the last Otzma Day's auctions ran under the same rules.  But you
still need to beat the previous bid to get a lookin, even if there are
multiple items up for grabs.  So you did need to bid A$28.

Subject: Acka: return

I return from vacation.

I endorse 'the Bacon Game'.

I request the speaker verify that TGW's word game was accepted.
  I did not see 4 endorsements, but my mail may still be kaput

I assume that CFJs sent to the acting preator remain with 
  that player upon my return.  Morever, I assume that the
  CFJ ThinMan appealed remains with breadbox and the player
  who was the acting preator.  I *know* that is how we have done
  it in the past, but how we did it in the past does not necressarily
  indicate correctness :-).  If I am wrong, please let me know.  Also,
  if I am wrong, I judge all CFJs assigned to me as preator 
  'UNDECIDED' without comment.  (If I am wrong, I will not be
  able to look at them by tomorrow anyway).

I hope to propose major changes to the CFJ appeal process, including
   possible elimination of the SC.  My sense is that it is pretty broken,
   and I have been thinking about it alot while on vacation.  Since I do
   not have the time or bandwidth to subscribe to acka-research, e-mail
   me with any suggestions you have for such a rewrite (including 'don't 
   do it; the current system cannot be improved upon'), as appropriate.
   I will prolly RFC the ideas first, if it gets that far.

But eliminating the SC goes entirely against the will of the people.

After all, 100% of the respondents in the Infrequent Ackan exclusive poll
said that nothing should be done.

Do you reject such vox populi so lightly?

Well, my proposal will prolly die and ugly death then.  Mabye only
one person will vote :-)

In all fairness, I should have prolly responded to your poll as

Actually, I should probably be verifying this, since I am the
Rule-Harfer....

Malenkai, Slakko, Vynd, and Slagothor all unambiguously endorsed
Word-unasociation [sic].

Slakko, rufus, Vynd, and Slagothor all unambiguously endorsed
Alfvaen's Movie Database addition.

K 2 also attempted to endorse one of these as well, but since Alfvaen
and The Gingham Wearer used the same subject lines in their posts, it
was impossible to tell which one he was responding to.
