Coming, coming!  I'm still getting used to the lack of the lack of gravity!
In fact, the very lack of nongravity is clearly a sign of the end times
itself.  The universe must be dissolving if our precious nongravity is
gone!!  What's more, the seals and wards against the return of Malenkai
have been breached!!!  (You guys DID set the wards didn't you?)  The whole
Ackan way is threatened!!!!  We might see increased proposal activity!
Interesting treasures!  Active debate!  LOOPHOLE SURFING!!!!

I certainly agree.   Speaking of similarities (or anti similarities in
the case of 404), I'd have to say that rufus reminds me an awful lot of
Ralph, and IdiotBoy of Potsy.

Graeme Jefferis ([email-masked]) is joining us (finally) with the name
Grimace. Slakko has been selected as eir mentor.

Fortunato (Aaron Keesler, [email-masked]) is also rejoining us as a
non-voting player.

And I'm sure none of you can have failed to notice Malenkai rejoining
the game (I ack eir name change btw).

Please join me in welcoming them all (back).

I do hope I haven't missed anything, or done anything wrong here, I'm
still new to this registraring lark (read: I haven't checked the rules
for ages :-))

It's there, though I didn't yet write any code to add or remove entries
from the twins list, so I will be doing that manually for now.
(also didn't write any code for changing the passive contemplator
or third cat, but added the code to make the appropriate voting changes
on the few proposals affected by the other proposal earlier last week.

It's just that no proposal so far has been affected by this rule, with
the only pair of evil twins that has been in effect for a proposal
being IdiotBoy-rufus (EAP dropped his twinness with JT before the first
proposal came due after putting it into effect), and IB votes 0 on half
the proposals, and rufus missed a couple, and they just tend to vote
opposite on the remaining stuff anyway!

My how time flies when you're having fun.  Round 2 of
Simon Says has ended.

This round, players were expected to compare another 
specific player to a chracter from Happy Days.

Simon was most impressed with /dev/joe's red herring and
carefully hidden actual task.  I don't think it will be 
quite so easy next time!

Anyway, passing on to round 3 we find ourselves with only
three players remaining:

/dev/joe
Red Mao Gang
rufus

You know what to do, now get at it!
