I hunt for the wayyyyy idle 404 Not Found, but cannot find him, until I
change the URL.  Then since I'm in a packing mood (moving will do that to
you) I pack him in a box and send him to IdiotBoy.

The player locations page seems to list a lot of players as being at the
University. This seems improbable not least because the University is not
rule-defined. Should I read all of these listings as being unambiguous
mis-spellings of "Library"? (Since it seems likely that a lot of players are
there.)

When was the University repealed?  Everybody went to the University last
time a degree was awarded.  You may NOT harf them as unambiguous
misspellings of Library - players at the Library are there, players listed

I stride even more boldly to the town hall steps and deface the posting
placed there by that group of communist bandits, the Red Mao Gang - making
sure to copy over words like "noble" with words like "stupidest".

Then and there, next to the puny little board upon which the posting was
placed, I construct an enourmus sculpture in honor of that paragon of
virtue and harf, Emperor Ai! Pedrito!

As it looks nobly off into the distance, the statue is shaking a fist
towards the West at both evil empires: Canada and Agora.  The elephantine
leg is lifted so as to step on the severed-statue-head of K 2.  A plaque
nearby reads "Here was fought the greatest duel in the history of Acka,
where K 2 lost one of eir heads to EA!P!"

The statue's unfisted hand is holding out a proclamatory, unfurled, scroll.
 It says (in letters which are more than three miles high):

      Emperor Ai! Perdrito, who's greatness spreads before him like a 
      plague of giant mice,  dost hereby recognize  the challenge  to 
      his magnificence  represented by K 2's duel.  Forthwith, let it
      be  known,  that with Studge,  his trusty second,  at his side,
      he   will   go   forth   into   honorable   battle.    May  the 
      Emperor's  harf  and  sacred  powers   protect  the  patriotism  
      of  all  of  Acka.   Emperor  Ai!  Pedrito!   chooses  columns.

now contains modern stuff like spheres, numeric votes, and the #data

	I realize that I probably take the organization of the rules much
more seriously than most other players.  But first of all, it's four rules,
not one, and it's really an entire section which is separated from where it
belongs by about half the ruleset.
	The thing that really bothers me though is that a proposal which is
so simple, so uncontroversial, and so (at least in my opinion) sensible
failed.  I really do take the organization of the ruleset seriously, and it
really bothers me that the 9's can't be put where they belong.  I'll
probably come back to Acka in a little while once I get over it, but for
the moment I'm going to take a break.  I go On Ice.

The spelling bee stings the rule 99-8 (Mad Hatters) to replace recieve with

The spelling bee attempts to sting the same rule to replace payed with
paid.  Let me know if this is actually a British spelling.

I pay the SHF to change my name to "Simon". I say I have won IdiotBoy's
treasure. I then say that Alfvaen has won IdiotBoy's treasure. I then say
"Stand up! Sit Down! Simon Says Stand Up! Ha! You're out!". I then pay the
SHF to change my name back to "Blest Lax Monk Pal".
