If any of you are concerned about stopping the scam, I suggest you vote
"Right up there with Disrespecting the Harfers" in the pending
Sinquisition.  It will resolve in time (on Saturday, whereas the
Frobnotzer goes off on Tuesday unless I miss my guess), it adds no gizz
whatsoever to the Rules (at least, not for longer than seven seconds), and
will neatly solve the problem.

Since I expect most of the SoC owners to vote pro-scam, (and since many of
them own those, um, *things*) I urge the rest of you right-thinking folk
to help out the game balance.

BTW, MTM, loved the CSR.

Right, except for the sin itself, which makes it a crime to do a very
useful thing (and not in the way Slakko tried, but sometimes a blueprint
needs a one line change to the rules to work correctly).  Then, the 
frobnotzer can be reattached on saturday; what happens when you run
out of sins to try this trick on... ?  Fire up the spelling bee :)

Illuminatus and Praetor, breadbox never called for anything for, so go right
ahead on those ones.

I imagine with the Cortex thing that your return is irrelevant to who gets
to judge the appeal.  If it was assigned to someone else in your place,
then e really should finish judging it.

MSIE 4 is evil.  Nuff said.  Last place I worked, they had everything else
up to date, but they refused to install MSIE 4.

Subject: Acka: Phoebe (Nobody)

I was quite surprised to receive a visit from Phoebe today.  Without her
usual sneaky insinuation of her matchbox into my affairs or anything, and
quite unexpected(moreso than usual).

Her matchbox had been fitted out with wheels, and it had a lot of small
nanotech-flealike possessions in the back.

"You're not leaving us, are you, Phoebe?" I said.

"Afraid so," she said sadly.  "Things have been, as you said, in the
doldrums.  Everyone else seemed to be on Vacation, or perhaps Inactive,
and so I thought I might take advantage of it to sneak a little time
away, take a Leave of Absence, as it were."

"Couldn't you wait a little while longer?" I said.  "There's a Proposal
in the queue that--"

"I've already waited longer than I should have," she said reproachfully.
"Or rather, you have.  It'll only be for a month or so, I imagine.
Though you should clean up that Rule before then, I think.  Things will
get back to normal...as normal as this place gets, anyway."

"We'll miss you.  Well, most of us will."

"I hate long goodbyes, actually," she said, and with that she leapt into
her matchbox car and sped off into realms unknown.  I don't know where she
was going, but hopefully she won't be too long...

Fine, fair enough.  But what I was saying is that you can't be sitting on
the fence in a scam if your actions (e.g. denouncing the CSR which is the
only way of fixing it - this is a hypothetical after all) are obviously
ones which increase the chance of success of the scam.

This is the bit that I thought could cause a problem. Count Tabula called an
election, I am Count Tabula, I received no nominations within three days of
it being called, therefore, could it be that the election had to continue
until someone nominated emself and then e gets the post automatically?
Fortunately from my re-reading of rule 402 I don't think this is the case. Oh
yes, and I start an election for Praetor too.

Subject: Acka: Donations, offers and other such things

I create the following ten trinkets with each one being specified as follows:

"name; value; description"

Cheque for A$1; A$1; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank
Cheque for A$2; A$2; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank
Cheque for A$3; A$3; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank
Cheque for A$4; A$4; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank

Cheque for A$9; A$9; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank
Cheque for A$10; A$10; Redeemable at the Ackanomic Bank

Here ends the trinket creation.

I then go to the museum and donate the following items:

just how dumb people can be
Better than a Stilton
Small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic Wardens 4, 5, 7-9, 11, 12, 14-18, 20,
21, 24, 25, 27, 29, 31, and 32
Jello Wrestling for Fun and Profit 
off-chartreuse mask
A Pyraic Frobnotzer

I then offer Vynd (or anyone else) a Pulse laser in exchange for a scroll of
crumble. 

I then go to the library and down to the vault of the book to read the
Ackanomicon.

I then return home and set up my butler to give out the trinkets I created
earlier in this message in the order I created them. You're all welcome to my
house! (The idea behind this is to make a little bit of a game, do you grab
one of the trinkets while you can or wait until you can get one of the
(slightly) more valuable ones?)
