No Tea (value A$20):

I am creating a Trinket called No Tea, valued at A$20. It is easy to spot someone who has No Tea. No Tea looks like a box of salt, only more tubular and a bit stringy.

Exquisite Dead Guy (value A$150):

The "Exquisite Dead Guy" is worth A$150, mainly because he comes with his own display case, in which he rotates. If you stare at him long enough you might see his mouth move.

Golden Frinking Straw (value A$100):

It is a slender hollow tube made of thin gold, its outer surfaces exquisitely molded into a bas-relief depicting the creation of the earth. (How odd, depicting the creation of a flat object upon a cylinder.) It is guaranteed to make its owner totally conspicuous at any public frinking binge.

Victorious Eggplant (value A$25):

It is a paper mache replica of a Victory Egplant, gilded in 14K gold. It is worth A$25.

I [Habeous Corpus] am presenting snowgod with the Victorious Eggplant in the hopes e will present it to the Pumpkin Patch's GRAPE in anticipation of their joining Internomic and bevcoming part of the larger nomic community.

Interpol Mug (value A$7):

It is a nice, dark navy-blue mug for holding hot frinks, coffee or cider in particular. Very handy for those of you in northern latitudes, now that Jack Frost is nipping at your various appendages.

whatever it is we're auctioning today (value A$1):

I hereby create a trinket by the name of 'whatever it is we're auctioning today' with a value of A$1. It is a lovely little thing, though it defies description. It looks a good bit like everything else, really.

Fibber the Low-Grade Brass-Painted Cheapo Plastic Flea (value A$9):

Said trinket includes the ziplock baggie that Fibber lives in.

Since I have never found Phoebe, I can console myself by talking to Fibber instead. (And sometimes, when *I* have had too much to frink, Fibber talks back.)

If it ever transpires that I do find Phoebe, I will put Fibber up for auction.

Agora (value A$1):

I hereby create a trinket called Agora, worth A$1, which looks a lot like a very large number of very happy Walruses that may or may not exist.

Pumkin Patch (value A$1):

Small, round, orange/green

Thring (value A$1):

Small, ambiguously-shaped

Model of what might have been Jmmer's Butler (value A$10):

It is a small humanoid figure 1.25 meters tall wearing a dark suit and a grave expression. It looks as if it could introduces player, look down it's nose at player's who are not properly dressed, give a tie to such players, and offer them canapes but it can't

Crown of Ultimate Failure (value A$100):

It is a crown of the roman style (Corona Civicus?) made from the shells of Chartruese Goose Eggs. It is worn on a players head just above the ears with the ends of the crown residing upon a players temples. This crown should always be worn by the player who has the highest number of failed proposals.

I herby make a 1 $A Trinket called a Kudo (Which looks like a tiny brass action figure in samuri armor) and present it to Red Barn.

Amulet of Saaramaa (value A$75):

It is a beautifully polished, rather large, piece of ancient amber on a gold chain. Encased in the amber is a frog, with skin of gold. It is said that when gazing into the Amulet, a telepathic bond is formed with the Golden Frog, who whispers ancient Truths. This is a rather nice feature, because usually arduous quests are required to gain an audience with the Golden Frog.

Codex of Jara (value A$1):

The Codex of Jara is a rather tattered old tome, but it is said that it contains clues to the rather difficult treasures of Jara, which are revealed to anyone who possesses and studies it.

The Golden Frog (value A$600):

The Golden Frog is an ancient wonder; a knower of Truth. It is also quite valuable.

The Haddocks' Eyes Locket (value A$75):

Clever, these Ancients, distributing Boons that Must be Described.

Mine is a lovely locket, expertly fashioned of material from the other side of the Universe, whose name is called The Haddocks' Eyes Locket. Engraved on the outside is a monogram, so ornate that its identity cannot be determined with finality. Within, on the left, is an incredibly accurate photograph of the open locket and its contents. On the right, a likeness of the Rev. Charles Dodgson, so lifelike that one can almost hear him reciting "A-Sitting on a Gate." (Those of us with three ears might actually be able to hear him ... )

The Helm of Impending Vanquishment (value A$12):

This silver helmet covers the eyes to spare its wearer the agony of seeing his rout as it approaches. In the silver of the front of the helmet are sculpted a pair of eyes wide with terror.

I give this shiny new Helm to Malenkai, knowing that after /dev/joe pounds it into a platter, it will probably be worth ten times its current value on the open market. :o)

Sceptre of Penguin Power (value A$75):

[no description provided]

The Grafitti Wall (value A$15):

This transluscent strip of fabric, colored as a section of cinderblock, sways majestically beneath Acka at a hieght - depth? - distance below Acka that will not be covered by Fly under or any hieght provisions will cover it. It is securely attached to the ground in one of the pieces of land that I ,Jammer, own. On it are rumoured to appear the wisdom of the Ancients, While this is but a rumour, it is known that various comments and observations of me and my fellow Ackanomians may be found there.

it may be found at http://members.tripod.com/~John_Martin/AckaGraf.htm

Runestone of Jukkasjarvi Fragment (value A$3 each):

I am creating 23 Trinkets, worth A$3 each, named 'Runestone of Jukkasjarvi Fragment n', where n is replaced by a number from 1 thru 23, so that the names are unique.

Each Runestone of Jukkasjarvi Fragment is an irregularly shaped stone with various glyphs and runes engraved on it. It is obvious that they are parts of a larger whole.

The Five Hundred Misplaced Ackapennies (value A$5):

  It appears to be a great many small discs of some shiny metal, in a loose
pile.
  Any ackapennie from the pile is approximately half an ackinch across, and
made of gumshoe or some similar metal.  On the front of each is stamped a
picture of the Golden Frog, surrounded by the words "In Harf We Trust * 1
raeY - 0 raeY *" (so that the words "Year 0 - Year 1" appear forwards).  On
the other side is stamped an image of the realm of Acka in all it's
circular glory.
  In addition, each Ackapennie has a unique serial number; the numbers
assigned are consecutive primes, starting from 57, which is a prime as far
as the Ackapennies know :).
  A bit of experimentation will reveal that it is possible to separate
groups of Ackapennies with consecutive serial numbers from the pile, in
groups of 100.  If this is done, the following things occur:
  1.  This trinket is destroyed.
  2.  The Ackapennies which constituted it/them are broken up into groups which
    are of size 100, by any means which is desired by the player performing the
    action of separation.
  3.  New trinkets, one for each group formed in the previous step, and composed
    of the Ackapennies contained in that group, are created.
       A.  These trinkets shall each have a value of A$1 for every hundred
         Ackapennies which they consist of.
       B.  There are no formal guidelines for the names of these trinkets; the
         names may be whatever desired as long as they unambiguously specify the
         Ackapennies composing the trinkets (the form "Those of the Five Hundred
         Misplaced Ackapennies numbered from 57 to xxx, as well as those
         numbered 89, 171, and 97" is suggested but not required).  These
         trinkets will have an appearance similar to that of the original "The
         Five Hundred Misplaced Ackapennies", and will be separable in the same
         fashion.
       C.  It shall be possible to merge these trinkets together.  This shall
         occur in the following fashion:
           I.  The trinkets being merged shall be destroyed.
          II.  If the mergence reunites all trinkets separated per this system,
             a trinket with a value of A$5 shall be created, with a name of "The
             Five Hundred Misplaced Ackapennies", and a description identical to
             the whole of this description.
         III.  If the condition in II, above, is not met, procedures 2 and 3 in
             this description shall be followed (in that order).
       D.  At any time, such a trinket may be renamed to another name which
         satisfies the conditions in B, above.

  Any attempt to separate the pennies into groups of denominitions which
are not of 100 is met with the discovery that the pennies are apparantly
welded together, almost as if it was impossible to create units smaller
than one Ackadollar.

What's a house naming party without refreshments?

I hereby create 26 trinkets, each valued at A$1. The first is called "Little Bag O' Chips A" and consists of a small sealed polymer bag with the words "Little Bag O' Chips A" printed on the outside, and containing one ounce of thinly sliced potato that has been fried in oil 'til crisp, and salted.

The next 25 are remarkably similar, except that the final character of the name and the printing on each is a succeeding letter of the alphabet, B through Z.

I hereby go to the Castle on a Cloud, and present "Little Bag O' Chips B" to Ludwig. I will give a "Little Bag O' Chips" with successive final characters to the next 24 players who attend Ludwig's house-naming party, unless they indicate they don't want one. (I'm keeping "Little Bag O' Chips A" for myself.)

Whether or not opening the sealed polymer bags and consuming the enclosed fried potato slices constitues destruction of a trinket (and is, thus, impossible), I will leave for others to decide. (Although if one is persistant, it will end up on my (and Mohammed's) doorstep, anyway.)

A Big Bowl of Dip (value A$5):

Indeed, I create 1 big trinket worth A$5 known as "A Big Bowl of Dip" Which is a giant ceramic container devided in thirds, containing salsa, onion dip, and that green stuff I really cant stand. I go to Castle on a Cloud and present "A Big Bowl of Dip" to Ludwig as a housewarming present.

This one tall and made of felt, with a feather sticking out of it in a very dandy way. Attached to the forehead (with elmer's glue) are some bright green felt letters spelling out the following poem:

"All hail th'illustrious god of snow Who 'pon us suction cups bestowed, For he who paid for days of frink Is still a leader grand, I think!

(And yea, Guy Fawkes is quite a flake; Of syntax mockery he doth make, And for the sake of finding rhyme, Use structure from a prior time."

Nonentity 137 (value A$4):

A sneering Arts and Antiquities Community is pretty much irresistable. I hereby create 200 trinkets, each worth A$4, named Nonentity 1, Nonentity 2, etc., through Nonentity 200. They're not very big, they don't weigh much, and they're invisible, which limits the detail of my description. The Arts and Antiquities Community may sneer, but that only causes me to laugh, "Ha-ha, cheap trinkets!"

I carry all my Nonentities to the Museum, to which I donate Nonentity 137. I carry Nonentities 1-136 and 138-200 to the Treasury, where I exchange them for a total of A$796, which destroys them and upsets the Arts and Antiquities Communities, causing me to laugh again, "Ha-ha, temporary trinkets!"

sticks and stones (value A$50):

It is invisible, so can not be described by anyone not capable of seeing invisible things. Hurling it at someone is considered preferable to calling them names, since sticks and stones can't hurt anyone. If you hurl sticks and stones at them, they may pick it up and keep it.

Big Ole Jug of Wine (value A$5):

Which looks like a big green jug with an easy to open screw top.

Victory Gin (value A$19):

[It] is relatively poor quality, worth A$19 but what do you excpect from a 1984 vintage?

Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster (value A$45):

Each is encrusted with a variety precious, semi-precious, and not-at-all-precious-but-still-glittering stones representing such clothing as she is wearing. Each has a replica of a historic timepiece in her navel, representing the history of timekeeping from waterclocks and hourglasses right through atomic primary standards. On their upraised arms they support a horizontal golden disk engraved with a map of Ackanomia, set with a variety of stones as above, representing various buildings, features, and locations in Ackanomia, as well as a few stones that don't represent anything but fill what would otherwise be relatively stone-free areas.

When the owning player shakes it after shouting the name of a nomic (other than Acka), tiny figures representing of their players begin to fall and float around in the liquid like snowflakes, until slowly, they disappear when reaching the bottom. Kids and adults alike find it is a very amusingly compelling thing to watch.

Dubious Chicken Rectum (value A$1):

It is a bronze cast of a feathery behind on a small pedestal engraved with the word "Rosebutt."

Rene (value A$10):

Rene is a statue, roughly three feet high, of Descartes, sitting in the Royal Gardens at Versailles and pondering what makes us men and not mice, and other things.

Normal Matter (value A$5):

Normal Matter is just like Antimatter, except its exact opposite in all respects. If Normal Matter and Antimatter were both players, they would be Evil Twins. If the Rules allowed one to specify these kinds of things for trinkets, any player owning both Normal Matter and Antimatter should go up in an explosion somewhat like that of the Gumball and Anti-Gumball. (For that matter, anything that's not Antimatter coming into contact with Antimatter should have such an effect. But perhaps AckaPhysics permits the two to exist side by side under certain circumstances.)

Its appearance is always changing.

Bronze Horse (value A$700):

It looks like an overly expensive horse made entirely of bronze.

Aladdin's Ring (value A$800):

It looks like Aladdin turned into an old man. It is said that you have to have seen it recently to understand it fully.

Beldin's Parka (value A$3):

This parka is very thick and warm-looking, but it also extremely short, as if it were meant to be worn by someone who's about two feet shorter than the average, and is further somewhat lopsided, as if meant to accomodate someone whose skeleton was somewhat askew. In any event, a normal-height person wearing it in wintry weather would have very cold legs unless they were also wearing Beldin's Pants.

Also inside the bottle is an item of some kind but 'cause of the thick opaque "Barn Red" color it would have to be opened to determine exactly what it is. The label taped upon the bottle depicts a sickingly thin man wearing a sombrero and the top corner of the label is torn so it reads "-BASCULES SAUCE"

This is a bulky chrome plated 50's SF B-movie style washing machine, which sadly fails to actually wash clothes, or do anything else. Stuck to the side is a somewhat faded label which reads:

An ornate antique clock with a brass casing, the Curious Clock's main claim to curiosity is that while the short hour hand proceeds clockwise as normal, the larger minute hand moves counter-clockwise. It does not have a millenium hand or an eon hand. It does however have a small grotz counter which allows it to detect if it has been buried; while it is buried, it is frozen showing a time that has something to do with the map according to which it is buried. While it is not buried it keeps perfect Ackanomic time.

It is a plain but not unattractive brown, unless the person looking at it is stoned, shrooming, or on acid. in such a case, the surface of the Phish appears to be an everchanging rainbow of colors, and the Phish will utter profound truths to the observer, such as 'Phish is a great band' and 'They Might Be Giants is an awful band' and 'The earth is flat.'

From afar it looks like transparent bluish sphere, the closer one gets, the darker the sphere gets, and when one touches it, it stings.

The Public Ally (value A$29):

This altruistic-looking fellow looks like he's your friend, but his status is based entirely on misperception. He is wearing unusually thick clothing to protect him from bee stings, and carries a bag of fake plastic Scrabble tiles.

one big head (value A$29):

This head is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindnumbingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the street to the chemist's, but...well, anyway. It's very realistic-looking, except for the fact that it doesn't talk, and it has a sort of "faceted plastic" look to it. One thing you can be sure of, though, whoever created it certainly was not greedy.
