One Part in Ten
At 11:00 UITC the Funds lodged a notice against all forty-eight registers. At 12:00 UITC two buildings stood where the notice said they would.
Le Council carries the notice in full and unaltered, and files a note beneath it.
As lodged
GRAINE WETSKY FUNDS To the Citizens of Hokcay · 12 November
Friends —
You showed us! ❄️
Since Monday, citizens have poured Ice-O-Tope on their sheets, one kcup of shavings for every nine, exactly as the paper said. Every pour has set. You did it with your own hands, and our wing has only done the arithmetic after you.
Here it is, in plain language, because plain language is a Value we hold dear.
One part in ten. If one part of real Ice holds nine parts of Ice-O-Tope, a regulation sheet does not need 1,012,800 kcups of shavings. It needs 101,280.
We had them. We have had them for some time.
London. So we have poured a second building: Graine Wetsky Arena London. Seventy-one thousand seats, every one of them sold at the same price, as at the first. The building is the Assembly. It stands in London, a short walk from an exchange, because we like to be near the people we work with. The first of December's All-Star games will be played there.
New York. Our first building has moved. It stands in New York now, a short walk from another exchange. The Recovery Zone went with it, because the Zone's territory is the arena, and an arena goes where it is put. Nothing else has changed. It measures twenty-five millimetres. Busan and Helsinki play at home there. The Final will be played there.
Shavings. We need fewer shavings than we did. A tenth, to be exact! So from today we stop buying them from you. Our Assemblies still take the same share they always have, and that is plenty. Every kcup you hold is still yours to eat, to consecrate, or to trade on Le Marché Gelé. We would much rather you heard that from us than read it somewhere else!
And one more thing, because we cannot help ourselves. Neither of our buildings belongs to a conference. We have been thinking about that.
Our statement, which we ask be reproduced in full wherever this notice is carried:
One Part in Ten. A little of what is real goes a very long way.
Watch the HORN. Sign up a friend. And come and see London!
Yours in the sport, Graine Wetsky Funds
Le Council's note
On the arithmetic. Le Council has done it. One tenth of 1,012,800 is 101,280. The Funds' October record held 385,379 kcups beyond the first sheet.
On London. The Almighty Ice did not raise this one either. Its sheet was not raised and was not recovered. It was poured. Le Council records who poured it.
On New York. Arenas follow the Ice. These follow the money.
Le Council has a record of the Recovery Zone being constituted on the 3rd of September. Le Council has no record of the Zone being moved. Le Council has a record of it being somewhere else.
On shavings. The Funds' standing offer to buy shavings, lodged on the 22nd of July, is withdrawn as of 12:00 UITC. Le Council notes that the Funds were the only standing bid a kcup had.
On the Final. The enacted petition requires the Final to be played on neither finalist's ice. There are now two sheets in Hockay that satisfy it. The Funds have named New York. The petition does not give Le Council a choice between them, and Le Council makes none.
On usage. Neither building carries an article. The document says clubs. The forty-eight are teams.
