No, you haven't. 'Cause you screwed up the proposal to do it. You made 
objects which have Penguin or Toad as their Race Helpless, and 
established methods for turning them into something else.

But you don't have penguin or toad for your race. You are an Elf; you 
just also happen to be a Toad. So you don't revert.

BTW, it occurred to me that things would probably be easier on Dave if 
more events were player-triggered instead of automatic. So, for 
example, Dave would not have to remember that two nweeks after you 
become a penguin, you revert; instead, after two nweeks of being a 
penguin, you could, in a public forum, unpenguinify yourself, thus 
notifying Dave of it as well.

This idea came to me when I was browsing the Agoran Ruleset; it's the 
way they deal with dead players. When a player hasn't made a post in a 
few weeks, another player could choose to make em Quiet, which is 
roughly equivalent to Forced Leave. It seems to me that this A) cuts 
down on what the admin has to remember, and B) gives the players 
something to do during these long, boring stretches when the game goes 
half-dead.

Speaking of half-dead, where is everyone? There have been no posts for 
three days now except the Ballot and Votes...
