Currently tracking is only taking place on those who have received a score all others on initial 0.

Ongoing SPAM tracking:

Fallout +3 if evidence of riding minister of cakes can be provided before or during TA's BBQ
Tomor +3 if Falloutesque comedy how-to for rear shock vid appears between now and end of October
Mark_H +2 once I've proven that LEGAL, SAFE & CONSIDERATE (ie, sustainable) filtering is something I'm actually pretty good at!
AndrewSmith -10 if +1 above drives return to historic behvaiour.
LPH -5 if still promoting rebellion after a presidential visit.

[Mark_h]

I assume this is a cross-thread check. If an audit determines the checking was only against the main thread then you'll be down another point I'm afraid.

I believe Minister of Cakes is accountable for cabinet disciplinary action so long as her rebellious tendencies have been curtailed.

[Spank86]

All scores generated from a mark_h forum search based on all posts in the GM section only and beginning on 28/6/12 1:10pm with the announcement of the system.

Does not include any scores given in other forum sections as I wasn't aware that there were any.

Although, since it's the minister for cakes doing the disciplining I'm not sure that's much incentive for me to keep in line.

[Fallout]

Glad to see I have the lowest score. Corruption should be an infestation rising to the very top.

[Spank86]

Erm, daddyjob.

[Mark_h]

+1 Spank for good, sustainable job and excellent response.
-1 Fallout for assuming he had the worse score when he didn't which is clearly unsustainable.

[Littlepeahead]

Shall I bring my spanking cane?

[DJ123]

Clearly our system is similar to the of the QI scoring system.

LPH yes, at all times. A cattle prod too

[Spank86]

LPH yes, at all times. A cattle prod too

Never tried that, but sure, why not.


What's the safe word?

[DJ123]

Moooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Spank86]

I bet I have to get the exact right number of o's too.

[DJ123]

exactly, that's why it's such a good safe word. Also you have to prenounce it right, with a slight touch of a dutch accent

[Spank86]

But Dutch cows don't say moo.

[DJ123]

i didn't say moooooooooo in dutch, only with a slight dutch accent

[Spank86]

But how would you put a dutch accent on a word you'll never hear a Dutch person use?

[DJ123]

this is why Moooooooooooooooooooo is the safe word ;)

[Thunderace]

@Mark_h How does serious thread derailment affect credits?

[Spank86]

This is clearly an administrative issue.

[DJ123]

I agree, it was derailed by the Minister of Administration, and therefore is an administration issue

[Mark_h]

@Mark_h How does serious thread derailment affect credits?

Unhealthy knowledge of Dutch cows clearly unsustainable behaviour -2 Daddyjob. You and cow should make appointment to see TIB for re-alignment.

Ensuring details are understood and clarifying ambiguity excellent administrative sustainability +1 Spank

Being a big girly snitch -1 Thunderace

Yours on overtime,
Minister of sustainability

[DJ123]

Mark_h -2 i never said the cow was Dutch ;)

[Thunderace]

I agree, it was derailed by the Minister of Administration, and therefore is an administration issue

Ah but you see it is making this thread unsustainable, so therefore falls under the umbrella of the Department for Sustainability, and thus to the Minister for Sustainability.

[Thunderace]

Mark_h -2 i never said the cow was Dutch ;)

No once again you misunderstand, only the Minister for Sustainability can add or remove credits!

[DJ123]

i wasn;t implying Mark_h -2, i typed incorrectly. It should read Mark_h, -2? i never said the cow was dutch ;)

[Mark_h]

i wasn;t implying Mark_h -2, i typed incorrectly. It should read Mark_h, -2? i never said the cow was dutch ;)

Daddyjob -2 more for unsustainable typing. You are letting yourself down, the party down and making lots of work for the Admin folks to keep track.

Clearly if the cow sounds Dutch it's either Dutch or possibly South African. The fact that your key defense relies on casting doubt on the nationality of the cow rather than the unsustainable nature of your activities is not helping your case.

I suggest you use your time out west to reflect on your life-style choices and whether you become the first person to volunteer to spend a spell in the PUB.

[DJ123]

woohoo, i have the most amount of points! albeit, a negative amount :lol: Never said the cow was dutch, or even a cow was involved. Only that the safe word is Mooooooooooooooo, said with a slight dutch accent. Spank mentioned a cow was involved.

[Thunderace]

Highest amount of negative credits! Hmm first round in Bodmin from the Road Safety Minister methinks!;)

[DJ123]

Road Safety minister says that mixing drink with squaddie and motorbike is a bad idea

[Thunderace]

Road Safety minister says that mixing drink with squaddie and motorbike is a bad idea

Not so, mixing squaddie and drink is always entertaining! And I wasn't suggesting we drink and ride, but there should be a bar on site or a pub nearby so that you can get the first round in!;)

[Fallout]

Remember, 1 x Astell = dramatically improved riding. 2+ x Astell = hedge bed.

[Mark_h]

Remember, 1 x Astell = dramatically improved riding. 2+ x Astell = hedge bed.


5+ x Astell = talk a damn good ride.


However -1 credit Fallout for encouraging the drinking of Lager. We are a manly administration and Lager is for unsustainable teenagers. From now on all party members shall drink Bitter or when down west Cider in both cases showing a preference for hand-pulled. Any Cider served with ice or written in French does not count. Minister of cakes may have a Babycham to celebrate her girlyness.

[Fallout]

Typo there, Minister. I meant Aspall, which of course is a premier cider of unimaginable splendidness. So do your thing.

[Mark_h]

@Spank. Can you get your team to audit this please.

woohoo, i have the most amount of points! albeit, a negative amount :lol: Never said the cow was dutch, or even a cow was involved. Only that the safe word is Mooooooooooooooo, said with a slight dutch accent. Spank mentioned a cow was involved.

Statement from the defense above...

However initial declaration of safe-word follows....
Moooooooooooooooooooooooo

These are now stored here in a tamper-evident vault to ensure no retro-accuracy is applied. To my aged eyes I believe the initial safe work is longer than the defended safe word. Potential very serious offence of both inaccuracy and misleading other party members into entering into a situation where safe-word is not sustainable.

Suggest Admin team perform review and report back. I feel however that we could be seeing our first deportation. We may be able to commute it to a community service in Bodmin but that will require cabinet approval given the grievous nature of cow bummer's crime.

Yours disappointingly,
Minister for sustainability.

[Mark_h]

Officially new sustainable safe phrase is

fy cyw iâr wedi'i tagu

Nice and simple and unlikely to be uttered by mistake

Should help if you find yourself in an unsafe situation while over the border.

[Spank86]

Theres a definite discrepancy there, over and above the dutch accent controversy.

With regards to the cow/accent I was merely pointing out that neither dutch cows nor people say moo, creating a situation where there is no dutch accent for the word.

[Mark_h]

To make life easier from this point in I'll stick a keyword in any post that includes a credit adjustment. XCA will be the tag.

XCA Spank -1 credit for not thinking up this labour saving credit tracking amendment.

[Spank86]

That sounds like a sustainability issue, not an administrative one.

My plan was to take on more staff in the grandest traditions of my office.

Yes, the Plebeian Enquiry.

[Spank86]

I can bring my envelope back to our next ride out.

Or you could add them up yourself and provide evidence of any discrepancies.

We don't respond to FOI requests but feel free to PM me a complaint with details of where you think the discrepancy exists.

[DJ123]

I feel that the discrepency was being made a scapegoat

[Spank86]

If your complaint is with the issuing or removal of credits as oppose to the tallying of said credits I'm afraid that's not an administrative matter so I can only direct you to the department that deals with credit issuing.

It really sounds like its a matter of policy and not of administration.

[Mark_h]

I feel that the discrepency was being made a scapegoat

Ambiguity is non-sustainable. Give me a clear concise reason and I will run it through the policy algorithm.

Yours sincerely
Sustainability minister.

Crispi qui labium gusset et bludgeon umida clunge

[DJ123]

The whole cabinet relies on ambiguity in order to keep our seats as ministers.
I put forward that Spank questioned the safe word. I then responded with the safe word. Spank then failed to understand safe word, thus sending the thread off course and creating doubt about safe word and bovine activities.

[Spank86]

I understood the word, I just questioned the possibility of putting an non existent inflexion on it.

XCA Daddyjob +5 credits for above post no explanation needed.

XCA Daddyjob -1 for knowing this in advance though and to have a spontaneous recall of a Dutch Cow ever needing a safe word in your company.

[Spank86]

But in Dutch the noise a cow makes is boe.

(pronounced 'boo')

One of my housemates is half Dutch.

The safe word is not for a cow. Read the 1st page where a cattle prod is mentioned, it carries on from there (below)

Clearly our system is similar to the of the QI scoring system.

LPH yes, at all times. A cattle prod too

Never tried that, but sure, why not.


What's the safe word?

Moooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Mark_h]

Already understood. Notwithstanding the fact that this particular thread does not suggest inappropriate bovine exploits, your choice of safe-word suggests previous use of the afore mentioned word in such a situation. I see no other reason for this to have been used before unless that was a simple word for the participant to have used. Perhaps the participant was not a native cow speaker but all looks decidedly fish from here.

Suggest you take the credit hit (although you may actually be positive on this matter at the moment - Admin audit?) be seen as a "man of the world" and stop the unsustainable defence.

[Tomor]

Could I request an update for the points? It would be much appreciated. Thanks. Agricultural minister

Don't look at me, that sounds more like a policy issue.

GMCA -1Credit Runako for questioning the sanity and policies of the New Model. Highly unsustainable behaviour. Go check the manifesto statements and all will become clear. Also unsustainably poor grammar A statement with question marks! However we'll overlook this one just this once.

GMCA Thunderace -2 credits. Heinous crime of unsustainably overstepping jurisdiction. I think the above is an issue for the Home Secretary and the Minister of Offence. The only real issue that should concern the Transport department are the transport infrastructure changes that will come into effect when we apply sanctions to the rebellious northerners. Perhaps move Hadrian's wall to the northbank of the Thames? Further credits would have been deducted had the message not been well intended.

[Mark_h]

Dear Minister for Administrative Affairs.

Your team will hopefully have noticed the enhanced credit tracking tags have been implemented.

GMCA = Formal Ministry set Credit adjustments.
ROCA = Potential Ride Out related Credit adjustments which will be considered reversible until ratified by other ride out attendees.

Speculative adjustments by interlopers and other unempowered individuals should be considered unsustainable and typically disregarded.

Yours helpfully,
Minister for sustainability

[Mark_h]

If that the case ;)

I believe plans are afoot to implement Partitioning of the North, re-ignite the war of the roses etc and prune you lot down to more manageable chunks. However all this unsustanable unpleasentness can be avoided if you just feel the love and join us.

[Spank86]

I've been keeping an eye out but I believe there's only been about 4 adjustments, I shall probably update at some point tomorrow.

[Mark_h]

Don't be bullied. Weekly or after a particularly active adjustment period should be more than sustainable.

I think not my jurisdiction is transport, therefore the movement of mass populace is down to me, also apart from applying for the job our Defence Minister has done sweet FA, so I have taken on the responsibilities as none of the rest of you seem to bother, at the Cabinet Meeting we will have to have some fisticuffs to sort out the inter administration bickering!:smt019

Dear Minister

We Northerners are too tight to declare war on each other. We fight each other in the pub on the fields and still go back and finish our drinks.

But extending our reach and true values, along with kicking some shandy drinkers is a matter to take seriously.

Regards

[Thunderace]
