If a rule specifies that an agent needs to pay a certain amount of points, or that an agent owes points, or the rule contains any other provision with the same effect, and the coditions specified in those rules are met, the point transfer shall happen automatically. An Agent may not take actions that require em to transfer points if e does not have enough points."

Create a new rule entitled "Antipoints" with the following text:

"Antipoints are objects. If an Agent is required to transfer an amount of points greater than the number of points in eir posession, the required number of points shall be created in eir posession and transfered. Then, a number of antipoints equal to the number of points created before shall be created in eir posession.

If an Agent owns both points and antipoints, one point and one antipoint in eir posession shall be destroyed. This process shall be repeated until the Agent owns either no more points or no more antipoints."

In rule 380 (Taxation), remove the last paragraph.

Any player who has a Hand may make a Motion to Show Cards at any time as long as no such Motion is already pending. A Motion to Show Cards is a Secondary Approvable Motion which passes by being voted for by a majority of Players. When a Motion to Show Cards passes, a Showdown occurs.

Additionally, if a transfer of Cards (such as by Dealing) causes one Player to have ten or more PCards in eir Hand, e may declare a Showdown at any time, without making a Motion to Show Cards. However, in the resulting Showdown, e must show at least two PCards.

In the event of a Showdown, each Player who has a Hand can choose whether to show eir cards. If e decides to show eir cards, e must post a message within three days to a public forum, describing which PCards should be shown, and how they should be arranged into Poker Hands. After three days have passed since the Showdown was declared, a prize of a certain number of Points (as described below) goes to the Player or Players with the highest total Score of Poker Hands, and all PCards that were shown are returned to the Deck.

The Dealer may never show eir cards in a Showdown.

The Player who has the highest total Score of eir Poker Hand(s) is awarded a number of Points from the Bank equivalent to the total Score of eir Poker Hand(s). If there is a tie for the highest Score, that number of Points is given from the Bank and divided among the Player(s) involved in the tie. "

2. In Rule 395/0, change each occurrence of "Player who has one or more PCards" to "Player who has one or more PCards in eir Hand".
