The number of SwingPoints for the top swinger, and consequently fo the
other Swingers, is determined by NoS, which is currently 8, not by NoS
with non-zero Weights.

It can't be 8 - there's no HARF Swinger.
Why didn't you ever point this out before - I've been doing it wrong for
months if that's the case.

Subject: Acka: Corrected Corrected Swingpoints

Niccolo pointed out I've been doing it wrong since I came back from
vacation.
Now the rules never changed the method of Party Swinger Swingpoint
Calculation, so it was always publicly knowable that I was
doing it wrong, even if it was not actually publicly known.  As a result,
I am compelled to restore the Swingpoint total to the way it actually is.

Alfvaen's web-harfer for a while yet - he hasn't opened the floor up to
noms AFAIK.  I just did the new page to give people an idea of what can be
done, and possibly to get Alfvaen to update his (he is of course welcome
to take mine).

The reason for the broken links - it is just designed as a new-look front
page.  Whoever ends up as Web-Harfer would be expected to take most of the
pages off Alfvaen's machine anyway, and so the links would no longer be
broken (provided the files are stuck in appropriate directories).

Foolish is always an option, not a necessity, but if I were you I'd wait
until the Sound System has been tested - too much harfiness in one shot
tends to lead to a lot of rejected proposals as people look for the
harfiest and only vote for it.

If he decides to become a player then that would make three people
playing .Nomic, Acka, and Mornington Nomic (if what I do in MN can be

At first I thought this might go against Rule 701's 14-day retroactivity
limit, but I guess this falls under the category of "events with occur
automatically, but whose occurrence is...erroneously...reported".  I
think.

I must confess to being extremely unmotivated to change the look of the
Ackanomic web pages.  Basically, I just don't really care what they look
like, so why should I go to all the trouble?  (Sorry, Slakko, if you put
too much work into this...)

I _am_ considering getting rid of the Web-Harfer's office, but I'll wait
until the Trinket-Harfer thing is settled first, so as not to overburden
our new President.  And I will volunteer for this one in case nobody else
wants it.

Fortunately I didn't bust my gut over it - just an hour or so of fiddling,
and no big bursts of icon creation to jazz it up with more pictures.  I
just thought there were a few minor problems with the page as it looked:

(1) It runs for screens and screens with lists down the left-hand side
most of the time.
(2) When there aren't lists down the left-hand side, there are ugly
spreads across the whole screen of things in no particular order.  This
is not a problem once you know what you're searching for, but to a newbie
it could be a bit disillusioning.
(3) There is no easy way to navigate - it is a big document by now.

So I fixed these three:
(1) I eliminated the left-hand-side lists, going to a centred format.
Putting more items on lines together in some cases led to the size of the
page falling from almost 6 screens on my computer to just under 5 (about
an 18% decrease).
(2) I made the placement scheme consistent - everything went into centred
grouped lists, organised in a conceptual alphabetical order where possible
(e.g. in the games all the fictionary stuff is before all the mediocrity
stuff etc).
(3) I added bookmarks.

IMHO the game is confusing enough for newbies given the size of the
ruleset, without the main page looking a little like a hodge-podge.
It might also make things easier for us oldbies.

I would suggest that anyone else who wishes to take over from Alfvaen as
Web-Harfer take a look at my page as well.  If you think it introduces new
problems, let me know, but I think that it represents an improvement over
the current home page.  (And it costs you nothing extra in time to
download it to your Machine if you want to start from it rather than
Alfvaen's main page - all the links are as they were in Alfvaen's, local
if on his ISP, full details otherwise).

Oh, scratch the background and .gifs problems - I've just fixed mine so it

Well, _I'm_ running Linux, but I suppose technically the telusplanet.net

I can fix that in a jiffy. I'll just set the background to a plain

I read the second page of my Spell Book of Chorg, which vanishes in a
huge flash of scarlet flame, leaving only a puff of lilac-scented smoke.

Also, I seem to recall winning an auction for a Truthseeker card, but I
don't have it listed.  This would have been after the first of Slakko's
Otzma days...

I did'nt never find a rock to wind a piece of string around.
but I found a yo! Yo! in my safe-way machine with the letters
AA ingraved in the plastic encaseing.
Does this count as a trinket?
It's neon blue with two white sphere's or cirlces embedded into the
plastic mold.
says made in china.
is there a china in this land too?
just curious....

I would also like to state:
I have no idea what a prize IT got when I won the auction.
Does it entitle me to speak the truth or create my golden bow diamond
tipped crossbow factory; for defence against them or us or we or you or
what-ever other two or three lettered word their is.
at least that is how I perceive to through a nozzle of intense sucking
motion of votexal qualities.
I'm just a vacuum cleaner not a real person you push button and I turn
on
you touch again and I turn off.
perhaps to clean a ka?
or to whisniper sweet sounds in your ears, if you have any.

I refused the light because it was too bright and melting the ice-cubes
in my drink.

In an act of supreme incompetence, I made a mistake in annoucing the
Senate election.  Calvin N Hobbes nominated himself.  So I guess what
should be done is to announce a new election, since the one I called
previously is invalid.  And someone should file a cfcj against me ,or
something.

As I annoucned earlier, I did something stupid in the previous attempt to
call this election.  
The correct list of canidates is:
Calvin N Hobbes
else...if
The Gingham Wearer
Rex Mundi

I promise I haven't forgotten anyone this time.  Reply to vote.

Since this concerns me, I ask that no such thing be done. rufus has done an
excellent job in his position and these things happen. Besides, it had to
happen the first time I decided to run for a political office.   : )

I wish the other candidates good luck, I'm glad to be in good company for
the election.
