Right, here goes. The following is my attempt at summarising this round. Make of it what you will, I've enjoyed watching this round, but I won't get back to my email until Tuesday, by which time Aron will have won the round if nothing else happens. Keep fighting! :) Andrew Usher I've lost the troll-times of each mail, so you have to decode the times yourselves. This is the state of each rule: 113.1 26 Apr 10:48:43 -0400 Jesse VALID +1.5 113.? 26 Apr 08:17:15 -0700 John-Martin VALID by timeout(*1) 113.2 26 Apr 18:15:26 +0200 Oerjan VALID -3 113.3 26 Apr 18:25:28 +0200 Andre INVALID +0.5 113.4 26 Apr 18:37:09 +0100 Tich INVALID +1.5 113.5 26 Apr 20:17:16 +0200 Oerjan 113.-1000 26 Apr 15:41:33 -0700 Andre 113:1.9 29 Apr 19:10:42 -0700 Aron (*1) This rule was never judged, as far as I can tell. 113.5 and 113.-1000 are also valid by timeout. And the state of each proposal: 113:A Failed, 3:5 against 113:B Failed, 2:4 against 113:C Probably failed. 3 votes for, 3 against, & then aron asked to change his vote; still a couple of days to go. 113:D Currently failing 0:4 against. 113.E Currently failing 1:4 against. 113.F Currently failing 0:3 against. 113.G Currently passing 3:1 for 113:C, Mk 2, Currently failing 0:1 against. 113:H Currently failing 1:2 against Voting on 113:C,D,E,F,G,C(2) & H runs out tomorrow or Sunday, I think. (I haven't checked the ordinances) And the following are the rules and proposals, as received, and with the relevant votes and judgements. Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 10:48:43 -0400 (EDT) 113.1 Each player is the ruler of a frc-world country. I, for example, am the duly elected Hesitant of Embarrassa, reluctant though I may be to admit it. Each player's first rule must specify that player's title and country. Although we all have disputes with one or more of our neighbors, no act of war may be committed until after the first week of play, when all the countries will be known. -Jesse Welton ; VALID, +1.5 Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 08:17:15 -0700 113.?(never judged, as far as I can tell) I am John-Martin, democratically elected Grand Poobah for life of the country of Arret. There was a small technical glitch in out effort to bring the benefits of Arretian culture to our neighbors -- we lost. However during the aftermath of the this war our great cultural treasure, the Wizard's jet pack was stolen, All the great nation of Arret seeks is the return of the jet pack. Ice free ports and a steady supply of oil would be a nice bonus. All players first rules from here on out must specify a cause for which they may go to war or something they have that they wish to hold and defend. -John-Martin Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 18:15:26 +0200 (CEST) As Lifetime Dictator of Spoilsportia, Embarassa's sworn enemy, it is my duty to inform you that this is the last valid Rule of this Round. Of course this Rule is No Fun, similarly to wars. -Orfan Johansen; VALID; -3; 113.2 Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 18:25:28 +0200 (MET DST) The rule called 'this': Here is the czarina of the Hussian empire, Anastasia. No Rule after this one may contain the name of the hated country of Spoilsportia. -Andre Engels; INVALID, +0.5; 113.3 Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 18:37:09 +0100 113.4 Fellow wulers, It seems that, in a certain countwy which shall wemain unnamed, the office of Lifetime Dictator cawwies with it a most unpleasant duty. How fortunate fow us that the incumbent of that office has had the good gwace not to fulfull this duty. It is well known that, as a wesult of inbweeding among wuling dynasties, evewy wuler has some eccentwicity. Fwom now on, each wule must show the eccentwicity of its author. Wupert, Pwince of Wales. -Richard Wein; INVALID; +1.5; 113.4 Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 20:17:16 +0200 (CEST) Subject: 113:5 I can only begin to express how much it saddens me that our plans to thwart the outbreak of war have been foiled by our enemies. It is indeed awful to know that I am the only pacifist, good-natured ruler in the entirety of the frc-world. It seems that despite our principles, we will be forced to wage war. However all hope of a civilized resolution has not been lost. My good Spoilsports have managed to ensure that all weapons used in the war will be non-lethal. We ourselves will begin the war proper one second after the end of the first week by launching a massive drop of teddy bears on Hussia and Rales. The Dictator. >>>> Orjan J Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 14:36:01 -0400 Proposal 113:A (Jeremy) That the Judge's ruling on 113:2 be changed to INVALID for no other reason than because we don't like it. For: Jeremy,Aron,Jason Against: Orjan, Charles,Anton,Nick,Ron Date: Mon, 26 Apr 1999 15:41:33 -0700 To: frc@troll.no Subject: 113:-1000 The chronology of frc-world is completely different than that of our own. So that we do not get completely confused, the numbering of the rules must express the chronological ordering of the events described from the point of view of those in frc-world. Each rule number lasts for one frc-world day. All chronology information in rules must be given in frc-world time. I shall now declare war on Spoilsportia. I can do this because everyone knows that frc-world was created in -5000, and my country's weeks are 2 days long. Spoilsportia's week is 51,022.7824 days long. This has caused so many problems with trade, time zones, airline flights, worship services, etc. that my country, the Western Hemisphere, is forced to declare war on them in this rule. At this moment our fighter planes are pouring sticky goop all over Spoilsportia. The Chief Propagandist of the Western Hemisphere, Arrend Clyarc Uallodon (Aron Wall) Date: Tue, 27 Apr 1999 08:17:23 -0700 PROPOSAL 113:B If the last (normal time) valid fantasy rule of Round 113 receives -3 style, then the player to submit this rule will be known as the Antiwizard in the next round. Failure to do so WILL invalidate a fantasy rule. END PROPOSAL For: Aron,Tich Against: Anton,Andre,Nick,ron Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 14:39:50 -0700 -----PROPOSAL 113:C------ That 112:5 be declared INVALID on the grounds that it is inconsistent with the author's previous rule. (Aron) For: Nick,Aron(?changed to against?), Chuck Against: Tich, ronald,Andre Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 16:52:26 -0700 PROPOSAL 113:D That rule 113:5 be declared INVALID.

(nick) For: Nick, Chuck, Tich Against: andre Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 18:38:20 -0700 Subject: Re: DECLARATION OF WAR 113:G (113:C again) ------------113:C----------- Nicholson Neisler shall be expelled from the FRC for the duration of round 113. --------------------------- (aron) Against: Andre Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 19:00:44 -0700 To: frc@troll.no Subject: 113:H For the duration of Round 113, all proposals except this one that attempt to amend the Amendment Clause of the Regular Ordinances will have no effect. (aron) For: Aron Against: Tich,Andre Date: Thu, 29 Apr 1999 19:10:42 -0700 Subject: 113:1.9 At this very moment a bomb is being placed under the platform where the Dictator of Spoilsportia will announce his duty. This duty is our reason for aggression. At the time of 113:2.1 the bomb will blow up, maiming the Dictator of Spoilsportia for life. The Propagandist. (aron) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After this Rule was accepted, there were only some proposals: It appears that overrule 113:I has now passed, and round 113 has therefore ended. >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >113:I >- Round 113 ends when this Proposal gets accepted >- Nobody has won Round 113 >- Oerjan is the Judge for Round 114. >---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR: Andre, Tich, Oerjan, Nick, Ronald AGAINST: Jason, Aron Note that Aron submitted one more overrule proposal (cunningly hidden at the end of a very long message): I propose and vote FOR 113:J ---------------113:J--------- Round 113 ended when this proposal was submitted. ---------------END-------- No-one else has voted on this proposal, so, as of the end of the round, it was passing. I'm not sure what its status now is, but it's irrelevant anyway, since the round has already ended. Tich. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tich forgot to mention Proposal 113:Omega by Jesse. Jesse himself voted for, Chuck and Nick against, but there might have been more votes on it. Proposal 113:Omega: All current fantasy rules following Oerjan's 113:2 are declared INVALID, except John-Martin's 113:2, which is declared UNSUCCESSFUL. The Default clause of the Regular Ordinances is amended for the remainder of the round by changing the word "valid" to "invalid". Furthermore, I should mention that Proposal 113:I was proposed by me.
