My own Evil Ballot Stuffer!!!!! Yippee! :-)))))) To celebrate this
remarkable occasion I go to the library. In fact, I think I was already
there. And inside, the jukebox roars just like thunder. I wish to play
"Ballot or the Bullet", by Van Halen, so I place A$5 into the slot on the
control panel, so that everyone will hear:

The ballot or the bullet
The choice is up to you
The ballot or the bullet
Tell me what you gonna do

Then I go back to my house.

Hey! Will I become a priestess when my Evil Ballot Stuffer gets ready?

What have you got against CENTER tags?

No, wait.

They're formatting, they're simple, they're Lynx friendly.

Doesn't nakedness imply having a body? I suppose there's the other

Koxvolio is a stand up, righteous guy, who did not have to do this, but
it is appreciated greatly.

I create a trinket worth A$25 named "The Stand-up, Righteous Guy" with the
description "The owner of this item is an upstanding, righteous guy who
should get loads of respect from his peers".  I gift this trinket to

Okay, I've just had a look and this is what I've found:

09/12/97 between 5 and 6 a.m. GMT I got one from reading the Ackanomicon,
although Malenkai titled one of the messages as an SBoC.

08/01/98 at 04:47 GMT I received arcane law from the Ackanomicon. Then, on
the same date at 05:16 GMT Malenkai posted, in a message titled "Re: Acka:
Ackanomicon Determination", the following:

I must protest just as strenuously. How dare you compare the great GBS with

Two of these were a bit iffy - Rule-Harfer could

the Financier's page is the P/E page, after all, that is what eir
job is.  So, excluding those two, here are the results.

                    Answer    Correct   Incorrect

Q2 - Spot the Functional Offices

                Answer  Correct Incorrect
President          N      10        2
Web-Harfer         Y      11        1

DeeJay             N       7        5
(This rule was just amended on Tuesday to make it Political!)

Q3 - Term Limits
President has an 8 week term limit.
The DeeJay is elected every third month, hence has an implicit
three month term limit.  No-one else has term limits.
Those which step down as cycles are ended needn't ever step down
(there is no maximum time limit for a cycle)

Number who answered President:  12 (good)
Number who answered DeeJay:      5 (not bad)
Other answers:
3 Archaeologist (understandable, as it is a change at end of cycle)
1 Illuminatus
1 Speaker
1 Senator (not yet, it is in discussion stages)

Q4 - Same Non-Trivial Qualifications
The answer here is, of course, Praetor and Justice - to appoint 
yourself a Justice you must be eligible to be elected Praetor.

Those who answered P&J: 8
Other answers:
Senator & Clerk of the Court  (neither have eligibility requirements)
Undead-Harfer & Poet Laureate (likewise, no eligibility requirements)
Speaker & President (again, no eligibility requirements)

Overall, Acka's knowledge is reasonable.
I'm a bit worried about the Chair of the Ackan Reserve though.

As a member of the Church, I humbly beg pardon from the Founder, and
ask what I may do as penance.

Does that mean that Koxvolio can't give eir EBS to JT? If so, I'll give up
my EBS on behalf of JT. I suppose *this* can be done, since the EBS hasn't
been created yet, thus not belonging to anyone.

So, Alfvaen, tell us what to do.
