Subject: Acka: Jukkasjarvi Custodian

Just wondering...

A survey of my e-mail records indicates that on January 5th, Malenkai
asked for volunteers for a map custodian on T122, the jukkasjarvi
treasure.  else...if volunteered, but 5 days later when Malenkai first
tried to leave Ackanomic (first out of the recent history, anyway),
he said he was making the Treasure Harfer (then The Gingham Wearer,
I believe) the custodian.

So I ask, did anybody recieve a copy of the map from Malenkai so e can
act as Custodian, and is said custodian paying attention to possible
guesses?

I would just like to point out that, as far as I can tell, there is a CFJ
which has still not been decided by the Supreme Court after deliberations
totalling 51 days.  This is CFJ 531, a Malenkai Win Attempt CFJ involving
eir Swingpoint Scam.  

Has the Entity Formerly Known as the Supreme Court (i.e. the Cortex
consisting of breadbox and ThinMan) simply forgotten about this CFJ, or
are they deadlocked and unable to reach a decision?  It would be nice to
know the result.

Yours,

Which leads into a question of my own, the treasure page as it stands
doesn't contain information on who (if anyone) is custodian of the various
maps (aside from the creator ).If anyone is currently custodian of _any_
treasure maps for treasures, other than ones they buried, could they let
me know and i'll add this information to the treasure page.

As far as I know, Custodianship hasn't been bestowed very often.  The
Jukkasjarvi Treasure is the only one I remember.  But it is a good idea
to list that information there.

My privelege of playing whatever I want without cost doesn't work if I've
used it during the past week, which I did in honor of your Ghost win.

> Good thing we weren't trapped in the Wilds, eh?

I'd have preferred that to loss of my Blue Thing, actually.  I was going
to donate it to the Private Collection room, but noticed that they only
take Trinkets.  I should have given it to the Boomerangs to hold for me.

Since I'm still in the Library, I wander dejectedly into *that* room.
Let's see how much randomly generated punishment I can endure in one day.

Ack.  As if one catastrophe a day weren't enough.  

I clutch forlornly at the bars of my cell, if indeed my cell has bars.

This is not regulated by the Rules, but since it is also not explicitly
permitted by either Rule 709 or Rule 101, it does not happen.  (Not to
mention I'm not actually in a Gaol cell anyway, but I can pretend I am
since pretending isn't a public action.)

I note from my reading of Rule 709 that "Players in the Gaol may not be
selected... to be mentors."  Since Calvin n Hobbes was in Gaol when I
arrived in Ackanomic, it is apparent that e and I (and, indeed, all of
Acka) simply deluded ourselves into thinking e was actually my Mentor.  

I congratulate em nonetheless on a job well done, and high-five em through
the bars of my imaginary cell.  Neither of these are permitted by Rule 709
or Rule 101, so neither happens.
