Subject: Acka: Return, however fleeting

	I return from vacation.
	I offer my Spellbook of Chorg to K2.
	I offer Valaurkar to breadbox
	I offer my EBS to JT (or is it TJ?)
	I offer my OC: Share my Wealth to Slakko
	I offer my OC: Art Thief to /dev/joe
	I offer my OC: Share Your Income to MTM
	I offer my OC: Skeleton Key to JT
	I offer my RHGJ to 867-????
	I offer the Ackan Reserve Financial Report to IdiotBoy, who may be
able to do something with it
	I destroy all my trinkets for A$.
	I create a trinket worth A$100 named the "Enemy Stamp" described as
"A large stamp of the word 'Enemy' in large block letters."  I give it to
Vynd as an apology for using it on him.
	I give all my A$ to Slakko

	Those are various thanks to those people who have been especially
helpful or nice in the months I have been in Acka.  I've had a great time,
but school is starting and I just won't have time.  Anyway, thanks to
everyone for making this a great game.  A few specific thanks:
	To /dev/joe, for helping me out when I was a clueless newbie (not
that I became any less clueless)
	To K2, for the win you almost helped me get
	To Slakko, for being nice and helpful, and especially for that nice
message you sent me when my org reform proposal failed.
	Also, an apology to everyone for putting up with me and my numerous
mistakes (and my prose)

	I leave Acka.

You were a good enemy to have, and I really mean that.

I don't know offhand and will have to look it up with respects to the
book.  If I haven't replied back to you in another day or so, please
assume that it slipped my mind and reask.

Slakko has already answered the question of dexter and sinister.  They are
relative to the bearer of the shield and thus reversed from the viewer's
perspective.  (If it helps, think of stage left and stage right, which are
also done with respect to the stage and the actors, and thus reversed from
the position of the audience)

I propose that the Razor Boomerangs accept Mr. Tambourine Man
as a member.
If Joe Java approves the suggestion within a week, it occurs.
I also suggest to MTM that he create his badge of office (if he cannot
figure out what this means, shame on him :)

Since Vynd beat me to the nomination, I will confirm Vynd's nomination.
(does the original nomination also confer a confirmation point?)

Just so that you all don't have to quote all the previous confirmations
each time, I am tracking this.   As of my sending this, else...if has
6 confirmation points (counting Vynd's nomination and his cycle win).
