Subject: Acka: Impeachment - The Other Process (Trinket Harfer)

rufus has not updated the Trinket-Harfer page since Discworld was created.
This is a serious backlog and a dereliction of Duty.  JT has offered to
perform the duties of Trinket-Harfer, and has in fact set up a page for
doing so.  Therefore, I have very little choice here:

I am now publicly declaring my intention to impeach rufus from the
Functional Office of Trinket-Harfer, in accordance with Rule 403.  This
impeachment will only succeed if at least 2/3rds of the Senate notify me
of their approval within 3 days.

Note: this is not an Impeachment Paper as regulated by rule 404.  You need
only notify me of your vote if you are a member of the Senate.

Signed,
Slakko
President of Ackanomic

The nomination periods for Financier and Undead-Harfer have both expired.
In each case K 2 was the only nominee, so I am now appointing K 2 to be
Financier and Undead-Harfer.  Harf well.

Subject: Acka: Another Bracket Pedantry Hearing

Are bracket pedantry hearings going out of fashion or something? Anyway, I'm
calling one against The Gingham Wearer for the following:

I am the Grand High Pedant in Chief for this hearing.

The valid responses:
"It seemed perfectly correct to me"
"It was obviously in violation!"

Reply to vote.

Subject: Acka: Diplomacy

 We now do have three players for Dip.  (Well, we did a couple days ago;
but I haven't had time to do this yet.

 The game is set up on the USTR Judge (USTR Judge <[email-masked]>),
and is called acka1.

 It is currently set up for White Press, so we can discuss the time 
settings.

 If anyone doesn't know how to use the Judge I'd recommend "The Newbies
Guide to the Judge": http://haas.berkeley.edu/~schwarz/main.html and the
DipPouch online resource page http://devel.igo.org/DipPouch/Online/

WAW! I didn't understand a single word that you wrote, but I agree because the voting rules of Acka seems a dreadful confusion to me. So, any changing is welcome.

Now, is this kid cheeky or what? Sending a message containing violation of
the Code of Pedantry to the Grand High Pedant in Chief emself! OK, I know
that I can't call another BPH against you now, while there's already one in
progress, and I won't be able to do it later if you have Learned your
Lesson this time... But I'll save this for the future, just in case you
don't Learn your Lesson now. I'll keep an eye on you!

Ahem. Despite what the player/entity page may or may not say I have in fact
learned my lesson. Check the BPH logs if you don't believe me. Whilst
discussing BPHs I also note that ;) is not a rule recognised smiley. I
unlearned my lesson the first time by calling a BPH on Slakko for a similar
smiley (you people really should be paying a bit more attention :-)

Sorry, does this include having lost your "learned eir lesson" status after
the failed BPH on February 23rd?  Because that's why it's not on the PE
page.

Two Gadgets came to completion in the last day or so, the Evil Ballot
Stuffer(boo, hiss!)created by Wizard ThinMan, and the Pulse Laser
created by Archaeologist K 2.  So the Auctions can start anytime.

Also, is the Good Ballot Stuffer Auction over yet?
