Day 7

 Our day 7 was, once again, very busy.  I like to think of our busyness as a rotating orb that meanders here and there.  Some of us are still working on house plans and cardboard models.  Some of us are down on the acre making sure fences are properly constructed.  Some of us are drawing out the pieces for houses on lumber.  Some of us are working (DJs, bankers, clerks, surveyors, trading post business, newspaper articles, cape making and selling).  Some of us are braiding grass.  Some of us are doing intense math calculations, mostly relating to lumber orders.  Some of us are nearly done building our houses!!!

It was announced at morning circle that the deadline for homesteaders to have fenced in their properties is rapidly approaching.  This lit the fire under many homesteaders who managed to turn their perimeter strings in today.

The clerk and banker set out once again to figure out how many fish fingers the town could claim.  The survey crew went down, took some measurements, returned, and did some very wacky math!  G'lant tried to tell Rolph that the town was owed over 8000 fish fingers for the land which was claimed as town center.Rolph called his bluff and helped him to recalculate everything.  At the end of this process it was determined that the town center is about 6.8 mini acres, the town received 3400 FF.
 There was also a very lengthy radio interview of Rolph.  Many very personal questions were asked.  Many times he had to recline to answer.

tiny little pieces of paper

Itwas brought to everyone's attention at meeting time that the moderator was not present.  Boris nominated himself as stand in.  Boris announced that we would be discussing the look of the custards, have one peep intro, and attend to other business.  It began okay.  The meeting got off track during the peep intro.  Many peeps were being rude and speaking when it wasn't their turn.  Boris decided to make an example and threw Zach out of the meeting.  Jailing and consequences were briefly murmured about.  After making several motions.... none of which were good enough, we got down to discussing custards.  Little metal buttons and circle cut paper were suggested.  Boris then asked for a motion to kick the FED out of the meeting.  A motion was put forth to only kick Rolph out of meeting.  Boris sort of came to Rolph's defense by saying that Rolph wasn't doing any poop talk during this meeting.  I think the real problem was that the FED, and by this I mean Jacques and Red Feather, kept interrupting with points of parliamentary procedure.  Boris stuck to his request to have the FED removed.  He insisted on a very specific motion being made (to kick out all of the FED).  Some of the peeps were in favor of this but probably not enough to make a majority.  While trying to call this to a proper vote (he tried several times)(by proper I mean a vote that passes in Boris's favor), Boris finally got up and removed himself from the meeting.  Yim then moved to have the Catholic church as moderator (at least that's what I think he said...).  Sherlock stepped in as moderator and discussion continued on custards.  With LOTS of yelling from the moderator a list of possible items came together (complete with comments by Dizzy as to why they might not work)

  • tape -too counterfeity 
  • ticks
  • chemical pants
  • sugar - easy to lose
  • brownies - someone will eat these
  • hot glue- people will get burnt
  • fabric
  • frosting - will become rotten
  • marshmallows
  • llamas
  • poop - too easy to get, the sheep keep making more
  • boogers - everyone has a money tree in their nose
  • locks of Red's hair- "You will have to fight me for it"
A motion is made to vote.  The secretary read back some of these items (aka ingredients for cake).  When called out on this the secretary said things like, "What?" and "Oh yeah, I skipped that"  and "Oh yeah, I forgot."

Moderator yells, "ORDER" a few more times....

In the end the tiny metal buttons won.  
"Next on the agenda?"
"I move that we vote on which type of government we should have, dictatorship or democracy."
Also suggested:  FED takeover, monarchy, polyarchy.
A motion was made to table discussion and the meeting ended.
