Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 00:29:10 -0400 (EDT)

The rules are updated.  Whew.  They are accessible at the same place they
were under IB's term as rule-harfer.

I will have them separated into 'centuries' soon.

If you see anything fishy about them, let me know at once.  I know the
indents are messed up at rule 1 and rule 6-4-1 on the non-history html
page, and I know what is wrong with them, so don't tell me about that.

the zips and text files should automatically update in the next few
minutes.  If they don't, I'd like to know that too.

I announce my intent to resign as Treasure Harfer, DM and Org Harfer.

Treasure Harfer is great fun - although it would benifit greatly by
having something like an automatic sculpture as pay.

Rob (my harfing script) harfs the harf characteristic and generates the
DM and Org pages automatically, the formatting of which can be changed
quite easily - so lack of web harfing ability/space needen't hold anyone
back - assuming you want to use rob - in any case the duties currently
require very little time :-)

Officer salaries were as follows on 5/7/99:

/dev/joe             42 Promotor & Tabulator

Rule 7-16:
....
This action fails if the entity does not own sufficient A$, or has no
Tokens.
....

Sufficient A$ was owned... but no tokens. Fortunately failure doesn't
consume the A$.

I offer Emperor Ai! Pedrito! my token - provided e returns it :-)

Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 08:37:16 -0400 (EDT)

My nose is an Orbital Mind Control Laser.

While incapable of moving on the board, this piece has the game effect of
reading the minds of all the other players, and telling its owner what
moves they will make in the next 7 rounds.

With Robin Hood's departure and r-attila the farce's iciness, Danek and
Sir Galahad are the only remaining players eligible for T208.

I note that Danek is off in fairy land and ask that the speaker do
whatever speakers do to players in fairy land :-)

not true.  If that is your reading of the rule, then my attempt to play the
song for our scam using MY token from P4200 failed failed failed, meaning
that it was not consumed.

I accept this token.

If and only if Chess Piece Face is not playing on the ASS, I place A$150
into the banna-shaped slot, naming the song Chess Piece Face.  I go home.

FISTICUFFERY
MULTIPERFORATED
DEFENSELESSNESS

As ACTUARY of said sound system, or DeeJay, I announce that the song Chess
Piece Face is playing.  The song's effect is this:

Effect: While this song is playing, the nose of the main head of each
   and every Acka player is replaced by a chess piece. Players are
   encouraged to describe the color, shape, board move, and game effects
   of their chess pieces while this song is playing, and a player shall
   gain 6 points the first time e publically describes all four of the
   above. Players are also encouraged to mock other players' choice of
   pieces, but are subject to Rule 5-2 (Politeness Moon) while doing so.
   Players may state that their chess piece has any game effect they
   like, but chess pieces, as defined by this Rule, have no game effect
   whatsoever.

UNINTERWOVEN QUADRIFURCATED ANATOMICOPATHOLOGICAL
FAGOPYRISMUS SUPERESTABLISHMENT RECEPTIVENESS

P.S.  As for the NYMPHOLEPSY and MULTIMETALLISM of players such as Dragon
Mage and /dev/joe in their 'search' for that most GONOCOCCIC of K 2's
treasures, the Perpetual Trophy:  Your DEWLIGHT is paltry, your DECAMPMENT
barely worthy of mention, and your STRENGTHFULNESS severely lacking.  I
wish you nothing but ALLORHYTHMIA in your searches.

Satisfied, K 2?

Subject: Acka: My Nose
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 1999 19:02:11 -0400 (EDT)

I describe my nose as follows(deja vu):

My nose is a bastion of STRENGTHFULNESS
All others are filled with DEFENSELESSNESS.
It's shaped like a star QUADRIFURCATED
and also is MULTIPERFORATED.

My chess piece's hue
an UNINTERWOVEN red
with hints of DEWLIGHT.

My nose has a move, it is full of NYMPHOLEPSY
It moves forward 8 squares for FISTICUFFERY.

but due in part to
its SUPERESTABLISHMENT
it moves only eight.

I'm going to talk first about FAGOPYRISMUS
Now that you're all ears (veritably filled with RECEPTIVENESS)

GONOCOCCIC nose
acts like an ACTUARY
in its DECAMPMENT

ANATOMICO-
PATHOLOGICAL
ALLORHYTHMIA

and MULTIMETAL-
LISM fill the rules with fear
when my nose is near

because when it moves on the playing field
on of the rules is randomly repealed.

I offer K 2 my (his) ASS token back.
