I'd say its been pretty quiet.  I'm not sure, but I think breadbox may
have disappeared on us again.  If he doesn't speak up soon, I think we're
going to have to just go ahead and replace him, I doubt he would resent it 
at this point.  Oh, speaking of replacing, one thing that did happen were
the pending elections, and for that matter MTM left on vacation, with JT
(I think) filling in as CotC.

Drat, I didn't read this mail until after he'd retracted the GBS offer,
and here I was soooo looking forward to taking the GBS and sequestering it
in the Church of the EBS's vault.

I accept the Spellbook of Chorg from Joe Java.
I read the next page of the spell book (I believe this gives me random

Grrr.. you're right.  (I don't quite see the reasoning for that clause in

I always assumed that it was to avoid scams whereby one, say, is always on
Vacation except when one is actively posting messages.  I'm sure creative
minds can think of a way to exploit that somehow.

Well thanks.  I had already discovered some stuff as Archaeologist
while digging in the Library near *that* room, but I guess that 
didn't happen, so I go  to Vulcan Headquaters and invent the following 
Discovery, called the "Codex of Wizardry", in their secret lab while 
they aren't looking :-)

- -----
Discovery: Codex of Wizardry

I. Introduction

Codices of Wizardry (Codices) are old scrolls scribed by the 
Ancients detailing the arduous path of insight from Novice 
to Wizard.  Although originally thought lost when the Jarans
were consumed by the Greater Wisdom, recent archaeology 
has verified the existence of a limited number of these rare
artifacts behind a pivoting bookcase in *that* room.

The Ancients believed the path to insight and success involved
the mastery of several Disciplines, viz.: Adventure, Travel,
Foresight, Know Who, Contemplation, Smarts or Luck or Cunning,
Fun and Games, Music, Harf, and of course Discovering and
building Gadgets.  As such, these Codices, when translated,
will describe a path through these Disciplines that one can
follow to become a Wizard.   

II. Codex States 

All Codices are either Untranslated, Translated, or Fulfilled.  
Newly created Codices are always Untranslated.  When a Codex
crumbles, it is destroyed.  Whenever a Fulfilled Codex is in
the possession of a Scientist, it crumbles.  Any active,
non-Scientist in possession a Codex is a Novice.  Whenever a
player is burned as described in the Rules, all of eir Codices
are destroyed, being as they are written on that same really old
parchment that the Ancients seems to like.

III. Translating a Codex

Any Novice who has been to The Vault of the Book in the Library
within the past 24 hours may attempt to translate one of eir 
Untranslated Codices by publicly declaring the Colour of the 
Codex, posting the Translation, and paying A$180 tuition to the
Ackanomic Research Guild, which, upon payment, is divided up 
as evenly as possible among all active Scientists (with any 
remainder going to the Treasury).

This action fails if the Novice cannot or does not pay the 
tuition, declares a Colour that is either not defined as a 
Colour in the rules or which has ever been an attribute of 
an Office of Wizard or a Codex of Wizardry, or if the Translation
does not conform with the rest of this rule.  Upon failure of this
action, the Codex crumbles due to the Novice's utter incompetence.
The first Scientist to ridicule an incompetent Novice receives
3 points (per separate instance of Novice incompetence as 
described in this paragraph).

Upon success of this action, the Codex becomes Translated, and
the given Colour and Translation become attributes of that Codex.

IV. The Translation Narrative

The Translation must be a narrative that describes a path through
the Disciplines of Insight and Skill (Disciplines) described in 
this rule.  In addition, it is considered good form to use the 
Colour of the Codex as a motif in the narrative, but this is for
Funky and Stylish consideration only.

The narrative shall have exactly one section for each Discipline
listed in section V.  Each section shall be exactly one paragraph
long, except for the final section which will be the remainder of
the document after all but the final section have been accounted
for.  Each section shall describe the solving of exactly one of 
the Disciplines in section V so that the particular one being 
described can be unambiguously identified by a reasonable reading
of the text, and so that each one is represented exactly once.  
The sections may appear in any order except that the Discovering 
and Building a Gadget Discipline shall be the final section.

Note that the actual description of how each Discipline is solved
only has effect on the actual solution (or requirements of the 
solution) where this rule says it does.

V. The Disciplines of Insight and Success

The Disciplines are listed below.  Under each one is the condition
that must have occurred for it to be considered solved.  A condition
is only considered solved for a particular Codex if it occurs while
the solving Novice owns the Translated Codex in question. 

A. Adventure

   The Novice achieves the title of Daring Adventurer.

B. Travel

   The Novice goes to the Moon or Planet named in the section
of narrative referring to this Discipline.

C. Foresight

   The single player named in the section of narrative referring to 
this Discipline wins a Cycle of Ackanomic.
 
D. Know Who

   Either Phoebe, an Ancient, or another Scientist endorses the
Novice.  Phoebe is deemed to endorse the Novice upon the Colour
of the Codex in question appearing in her wisdom; an Ancient is 
deemed to endorse upon that Colour appearing in the description of 
an Automatic Sculpture, and a Scientist is deemed to endorse upon 
that Colour appearing in the text of a Blueprint.

E. Contemplation

   The Novice spends 3 consecutive days in the Wilds of Ackanomic 
without posting a public message.

F. Smarts or Luck or Cunning

   The Novice, or an Organization which the Novice is a member of,
finds a Treasure that contains an Antiquity named in the section of
the narrative referring to this Discipline, or the Novice becomes 
the Scholar of *ping*.

G.  Fun and Games

   The Novice wins a Duel (or is Second to the winner of a Duel), or
wins an official Ackanomic subgame (a Game or Contest listed in the
Games & Contests Rule Suite).

H. Music

   A proposal is accepted whose title is the title of a song (and it
can be verified that the song is found in the Games and Contests Music
Database (see rule 1250.3)), and the lyrics of that song contain the
Colour of the Codex in question.

I. Harf

   The single player named in the section of the narrative referring
to this Discipline becomes Harfmeister, or the Novice correctly 
points out that the Translation narrative in question contains 
the word "Harf" (or reasonable morphologies thereof) used as 
four different parts of speech, or the Novice correctly points
out that an active player has the string "Harf" contained within 
their name. 

J. Discovering and building Gadgets.  

   This is the last section of the narrative, and shall be referred
to as the Novice's Thesis.  This text shall describe a new type of 
Gadget as if the text were a Discovery (and shall clearly provide the
name of the Discovery).  Unlike the other Disciplines in this list, 
this one is never solved, or considered solved.

VI. Fulfillment

A Codex becomes Fulfilled upon it being publicly knowable that at
least all but one of the Disciplines up to but excluding the final 
(Thesis) one have been solved with respect to that Codex, in the 
order referred to in the narrative, and a song (again as verified by
the G&C Music Database) is playing on the ASS that contains in its 
lyrics the Colour of that Codex.  (Note that multiple instances of 
solving a particular Discipline, or solutions out of order do not
necessarily disqualify, providing an ordered solving can be 
demonstrated).

Upon a Codex becoming Fulfilled, the Novice's Thesis becomes a 
Discovery as if e played an Otzma Card of type Scientist for a Day 
with the Thesis as its text (and the given name as its name), except 
that the Novice loses no currency as a result of this, and a counteraction
will not Debunk the Discovery.

If this Discovery is Debunked, the Codex in question crumbles.  
Otherwise, upon acceptance of the Discovery, the player graduates
as described in the next section.

VII. Graduating to Wizardhood

The following occur in the order listed:

A. A party is held in honor of the graduate.  All Scientists are
expected to make an effort to go to the graduate's location and
give em some sort of gift; failure to do either within 3 days is
the Crime of Snobbery.
 
B. A Gadget of the type described in the newly created Blueprint is
created in the Novice's possession by the Codex.

C. Rule 593, "Ackanomic Research Guild", is amended by the Codex to
replace the text of section B., Wizard, with this:

"
The Office of Wizard is a Capital Office with 2 seats. When an 
instance of this office has been in the Treasury or Somewhere 
Else for at least one second, it is auctioned in a public Auction,
with a minimum bid of A$100. If a player's most recent ownership 
of an office of wizard exceeds 6 months and that player has not 
made a discovery or gadget during that time and a player points
this fact out, that office is transferred to the Treasury.  It is 
customary to refer to Wizards and their Offices by their 
attributed Colour.

{{[current text:
The Office of Wizard is a Capital Office with one seat. When the 
office is in the Treasury or Somewhere Else, it is auctioned in
a public Auction, with a minimum bid of A$100. If a player's 
most recent ownership of the office of wizard exceeds 6 months
and that player has not made a discovery or gadget during that 
time and a player points this fact out the office is transferred to
the treasury.]}} 
"

Z1. Subsection C of this section of this rule is amended by the Codex
to read:

"
C. Rule 593, "Ackanomic Research Guild", is amended to replace
all integers in first sentence of the section labeled "B. Wizard"
with the next higher integer.
"

Z2. This rule is amended by the Codex to delete subsections Z1 and
Z2 of this section.
 
D. The Office of Wizard created as a result of the amendment in 
subsection C is given, as an attribute, the Colour of the Codex 
responsible for its creation; then the Office is transferred to the
graduate by the Codex [at which point it crumbles].

VIII. Colouring the current Wizard

[This is to make the current wizard a coloured wizard, and I add the
music database to general equipment, which we need anyway]

The Wizard, as a privilege, may name any colour defined in rule 
1155 as the colour of eir office.  Upon doing so, the Office of Wizard
is given, as an attribute, that colour.  If the Wizard fails to
exercise this privilege within 3 days of this rule being created, 
however, The Office of Wizard is given, as an attribute, a random
colour defined in rule 1155.  Upon the office of Wizard being attributed
with a colour, the following text is appended to the end of rule 
1250.3, "General Equipment":

"
VII. Music Database

a) http://www.allmusic.com
"

then this section (VIII), which includes the next paragraph,
is removed from this rule.

[sorry about that, but I'm not sure if doing it this way avoids that
new annoying crime :-).  If anyone has a better music database, feel
free to add it on... I found a lower than expected hit rate on 
this one]

I have a quick question for folks.
Does anyone happen to have (offhand) the current numbers for CFJ/CFCJ's?
(Yes, I can get this from the archives, but if anyone has it, it'll be
faster than me searching the archives).

Does anyone happen to know the current people on the CFJ ineligibility
list?  The list that MTM had maintained hasn't been updated since May
24th.  I know that Ayla was/should be on it, but she's also on vacation.
If anyone has the information to help me figure this out, I'd be much
obliged.

Next, could the people on the various Cortices of the Supreme Court please
tell me which CFJs you still have, if any?

Thanks.

Karma was the only player On Ice for more than 14 days when Proposal
3216 passed, thus his state is now On Ice. I believe that, one
nanosecond later, he becomes a Non-Player.

Ayla, Horny Protoceratops, Joe Java, Mr. Tambourine Man, Pandora, and
rufus were the other players on Vacation, so their states are now
Inactive. Their expected date of return is as it was for their
Vacation, plus 14 days.

two-star and Zaknafien Dourden lose their pending status and now have
a state of Voting.

Of course, I defer to the Registrar if any of the above is incorrect.

By Rule 17 (what was Rule 258), every ex-player who has an Undead is
turned back into a Player, with their state being On Ice, and their
Undead is destroyed after giving all of its possessions back to the
player in question (except that their scores are all set to zero).
