Subject: Acka: Puppet Heads

A bunch of players lost a lot of points just now, and those on the
following list who do not already have Puppet Heads each receive one:

  404 Not Found   
  Aunt Froot      
  Calvin N Hobbes 
  Fortunato       
  IdiotBoy        
  Leather Artifact
  Robin Hood      
  saaremaa        
  The Green Ripper
  ThinMan         
  two-star        
  Vynd            

Those on the above list who already had puppet heads from the last of the
proposals breadbox promoted have considerably less than 7 days to deal with
them, but I'm too lazy to look that up right now.

Subject: Acka: Props 3639-3658: Missing Votes

Grrrrr.

Leather Artifact attempted to vote with this command:
#vote 3639 YYYYYYYYYNYYYYNNYNNN

[more cut off to hide votes on proposals still up for voting]

and didn't pay attention to the bot telling him it didn't understand him.
Note that you need to put SPACES between your votes, as you always have
had ever since the first voting bot which accepted a multi-vote command
like this, since full word votes like YES and baa are accepted also.

Since his intent is clear, and he notified me of the problem (on IRC),
I think I must count these votes.

Scorekeeper note: Leather Artifact cast the votes above, and did not
lose any points for failing to vote on proposals that failed quorum,
and did not receive a puppet head.

Scorekeeper please note additional score changes due to changes
in the results of proposals 3645 3647 3651.

Rule-harfer, please note changes in the rules caused by the passage
of proposals 3645 3647 3651

Out of 23 voting players, 14 votes are required to meet quorum, or
9 YES votes are needed.

I read the next page of my spell book of Chorg
I disappears with a bang and a circle shaped cloud of light blue smoke

I then go to the Library where I am drawn to *that* room and I read from

On the subject of org founding rule 1003 has the following to say:
"
then the pseudo Founder forms the Organization by announcing the
Organization's name, its type, pays the standard Harfer's Fee, and
announces the name of its members.
"

you've quoted the name, you've paid the fee - who the hell are the members?

In the interests of my sanity please explicitly state them; the quoted text
is an invitation to join - not necessarily the reality

Apologies if I sound (type?) a bit frayed but this org sequence is
consuming a lot of my time :/

While I'm here.... I offer Alfvaen A$10 for one of eir sanity points -
whichever number e chooses.
