Actually, you're almost right - it wasn't the amendment of the Laws that failed, it was the coloring of the square. This means we also didn't successfully alter the laws afterwards to be the text of DiploNomic. Ergo, I have m50, I do not have a rapier, ehird is not dead and eir votes were in fact valid, and there are no squares of any color other than white. I'm the new Minister of Grid, and I will have a PD out soon that does not include any incorrect colorings. In the meantime I challenge all public displays that I have made prior to this e-mail as Minister of Grid and of Warfare. I then take the Ministry of Warfare, specifying a reward of m100. Oddly, to my mind this error makes the fungibility of mackerel and the possible underspecification of the Pencil Sharpener irrelevant - because there's a precisely-known number of macks created by the Laser Printer (zero), that step in the process was unambiguous, so the possibility that the whole process might have failed due to part of it being insufficiently specified does not apply. I believe that the other changes made by the Pencil Sharpener process therefore succeeded. - teucer _______________________________________________ spoon-business mailing list spoon-business@xxxxxxxxx http://lists.ellipsis.cx/mailman/listinfo/spoon-business
