Subject: Acka: Election Promises

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me, congratulate all of the
recently elected officials and commiserate with the nominees who weren't elected.

Next I'd like to point out the following pieces of game state so that the
appropriate officers can do something about it:

wrt the senate elections it looks like we'll need the OiCoRT to determine which
seat the new senators hold:
Sinecure 33
/dev/senate3

It would also appear that former senator Vynd now has a Blue Cross Bonus bringing
eir Blue Cross Rank to 46....
wait a second I can do this :)

To the most honourable Vynd, Silver Moon recipient, Possessor of a Bronze Torch,
Silly Enlightened Heretic, Evil Overlord of Ackanomic (retired) and Crazy
French-Scottsman I present you with a second Silver stripe, only 14 more to gold.

I'm creating 8 trinkets worth A$2 each called "set of Steak Knives n" where n is
replaced in each case with the second largest five digit prime number which would
give a unique name and (for each trinket after the first) is also less than the
most recently used number. Which are described in the following way:
"A particularly elegant set of steak knives with coulored handles"
were coulored is replaced with with one of the following words so as to give a
unique description:
alabaster; amber; aquamarine; azure; black; blue; brown; burgundy

I gift the trinkets created above in the following manner:
set of Steak Knives 99823 to /dev/joe
*99829
set of Steak Knives 99833 to JT
*99839
set of Steak Knives 99859 to Koxvolio
*99871
set of Steak Knives 99877 to Rex Mundi
*99881
set of Steak Knives 99901 to J.M. Bear
*99907
set of Steak Knives 99923 to Niccolo Flychuck
*99929
set of Steak Knives 99961 to Slakko
*99971
set of Steak Knives 99989 to Alfvaen
l5dpn: 99991

I destroy the Winning Betting Slip for cash.

I purchase 8 prosthetic foreheads with the following descriptions:
The first is Shaped like an EBS poised over a cowering ballot box. I offer this
to Koxvolio.
The Second lends an air of authority and stature suitable for an ex-president. I
offer this to Alfvaen.
The Third looks like three agenda hats being worn simultaneously, one on top of
the other, for which the associated condition written on the tag hanging off of
the brim is true. I offer this to Slakko.
The Fourth is a bear re-presentation of a four heads. I offer this to J. M. Bear
The Fifth has a small shield mounted on it with a depiction of the owners Coat of
Arms on it. I offer this to JT
The Sixth looks like the most recent set of four hundred and ninety-eight
prosthetic foreheads created by its owner. I offer this to /dev/joe.
The Seventh is a 3D representation of the current party chess board as it will
appear in the next round. While it is being worn it will telepathically impart
the game strategies of all party chess participants to its wearer. I offer this
to Niccolo Flychuck.
The Eighth i mounted with a depiction of Valaraukar and has a special fastening
clip which attaches to the neck. I offer this to Rex Mundi.

With my remaining A$ 3 I treat my self to an ice-cream.

I create a Trinket worth A$ 3 titled "The Murrey Shovel and Ice-cream Scoop"
described "Useful for digging holes and serving ice-cream and in emergency
situations for thwaping Twits."

I play my Otzma Grave Robber naming Hoover 2300.

I believe that the OiCoRT needs to determine which set got which colour so
that I can harf them correctly.  (IE, there will be a short delay until
this determination is made at which point I will have the correct
descriptions).  I wonder however, if the fact that a random determination
needs to be made falls under the 'completely specified' clause of an
action? (I'm willing to accept it as such, but just am curious as to what
others think?)

Subject: Acka: Cycle 20 Score Correction

It has been pointed out to me that since The Mu-Cow Hunter was not, in
fact, removed from the game before the end of Cycle 20, there were some
differences in the scoring of that Cycle.

First of all, K 2 transferred 5 of eir points to The Mu-Cow Hunter in
Proposal 3182.  Secondly, Proposal 3192 was not a Null Proposal, as I
had harfed it, because The Mu-Cow Hunter was in fact a player when it
passed.  So e got 15 points for being the author of a Harfy Proposal,
else...if, saaremaa, /dev/joe(then known, I believe, as Dennis and
Edna)and breadbox got 3 extra points each for anti-voting, and 867-5309
got 4 points for voting BAA!

This is complicated somewhat by the Summer Tornado.  rufus got the Mu-Cow
Hunter's score of 20(rather than 0), and The Mu-Cow Hunter's score was
reduced back to 0.  Vynd got else...if's three extra points, and Ayla
breadbox's three(Dennis and Edna and saaremaa were Sheltered); Horny
Protoceratops got 867-5309's four extra points.

So the real final scores for Cycle 20 were:
