Proposal 3360
Grease is the Word
Brie Clump (Tom Walmsley)

This is a modest proposal.

{{[Remember me saying I wanted revenge on K 2 and JT for making work
for me when I was acting Speaker? Well here's the start of it.]}}

The nation of Ackanomia is a cultural wreck. After long research
this researcher has discovered that the best possible cure for this
would be for Ackanomic to have an official word. Unfortunately, it
has not been possible to determine which word would be best suited
for this task. Therefore, within three days of this rule being
created the OiCoRT must select a random word from the official
dictionary to be the official word. If possible this should be done
with the dice server. Once this has been done this rule will amend
itself such that it reads in its entirety:

"The official word of Ackanomic is <word>"

where <word> is replaced by whatever word the OiCoRT determined.

Proposal 3361
Pages Made From Days of Open Hand
Alfvaen (Aaron Humphrey)

Create a new Rule in the Otzma Card Rule Suite, numbered with the smallest
subrule number not being used in that Rule Suite, named "Otzma Card of
Type Roulette Wheel", with text as follows(delimited by EMPATH):

EMPATH
A Card of this type may only be played in the public forum.  A player
who plays this card must name a Gadget or Otzma Card that is in eir
possession.

If a Gadget is named, then that Gadget is converted to another Qualified
Gadget of a randomly determined type.  If the original Gadget is broken,
then if possible, the new Gadget is also broken.  If it would be illegal
for that player to own the new Gadget for some reason, then the original
gadget is destroyed instead.

If an Otzma Card is named, then that Otzma Card is converted to another
Otzma Card of a type determined by the RuneMaker by the Deterministic
Method.  If the instance limits for the new type of Otzma Card would
be violated by its creation, or it would be illegal for that player to
own the new Otzma Card for some reason, then the original Otzma Card is
destroyed instead.

At any time, there may be at most 5 Cards of this type in existence.
'Roulette Wheel' type Otzma Cards have an F-Designation of Normal.

read as follows:}}

A.  There shall be two new Functional optional offices, the Greater
Poobah and the Lesser Poobah.

B.  The Greater Poobah shall be that player, from among those eligible
to be a Poobah, who had the greatest number of proposals accepted during
the most recent calendar week, as determined by the Tabulator.  The
Lesser Poobah shall be that player, from among those eligible to be a
Poobah, who had the fewest number of proposals rejected during the most
recent calendar week, as determined by the Tabulator.  For purposes of
this rule only, the Tabulator shall count only those proposals for which
voting expired during the most recent calendar week.

C.  The identity of the Greater Poobah and the Lesser Poobah shall be
proclaimed by the Tabulator no more than three days after the end of
each calendar week.  Each Poobah shall take office immediately, and
shall hold office for exactly seven days from the moment e is proclaimed

by the Tabulator, or until a new Poobah is proclaimed, whichever happens

sooner.  The Tabulator may proclaim only one Greater Poobah and one
Lesser Poobah during each calendar week.

D.  A player is not eligible to be proclaimed to be either the Greater
Poobah or
the Lesser Poobah if any of the following are true:

1.  The player was Inactive at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the most
recent calendar week.

2.  The player was in Gaol at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the most
recent calendar week.

3.  The player had no proposals acted upon during the most recent
calendar week.

E.  In the event that two or more players shall be equally qualified to
be proclaimed Greater or Lesser Poobah, the Tabulator shall resolve the
tie using the Ackanomic dice, with each player’s chance of selection
(among those qualified) being equally weighted.

F.  In the event that no player shall be qualified to be proclaimed
Greater or Lesser Poobah, the Tabulator shall proclaim that the office
for which no player qualified will remain vacant for that calendar
week.  The other office, however, shall be filled in the normal manner.

G.  In the event that one player qualifies for both offices, the player
shall be proclaimed to be the Greater Poobah, and the office of Lesser
Poobah shall be filled from the remaining pool of eligible candidates.

H.  The Greater Poobah shall have the following duties:

1.  Sign all is posts with the phrase: “So spake the Greater Poobah, may

his name be revered!”

2.  To proclaim emself to be co-sponsor of at least one but not more
than three proposals written by other players, and for which voting
expires during the seven days following the moment e was proclaimed to
be Greater Poobah.

a.  If any proposal for which the Greater Poobah is co-sponsor shall be
accepted, e shall receive two points fewer than the number of points
received by the proposer (but not less than zero points).

b.  If any proposal for which the Greater Poobah is co-sponsor shall be
rejected, e shall lose a number of points equal to the number lost by
the proposer.

3.  In the event that no proposals sponsored by other players shall be
scheduled to expire during the Greater Poobah’s term, e shall be excused
from this duty, provided that before es term expires, the Greater Poobah

rejected, e shall receive two points fewer than the number of points
the proposer would have received if it had been accepted (but not less
than zero points).

b.  If any proposal to which the Lesser Poobah is in Opposition shall be

accepted, e shall lose a number of points equal to the number the
proposer would have lost if it had been rejected.

3.  In the event that no proposals sponsored by other players shall be

J.  Neither the Greater Poobah nor the Lesser Poobah shall receive any
salary solely for serving as a Poobah.  This shall not prohibit a player
from receiving salaries, payments, gifts, or any other benefit to which
the Rules may entitle em.

An End To Tyranny
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

Create a new Rule, numbered 705, entitled "A Kinder, Gentler System", with
the following SLAP-delimited text:

SLAP
Crimes fall into two categories: Whiffles and Felonies.  If it is not
explicitly specified which category a Crime falls into, it is a Whiffle.

It is a privilege of a Justice to issue Whiffle Notices (WN).  No player
may issue more than one WN in any one Calendar week.  A Whiffle Notice
contains the following items:

(1) its number, which must be an integer distinct from those used in all
previous Whiffle Notices.
(2) the name of a player who committed a Whiffle in the last week (this
player may be referred to as the transgressor).
(3) the Whiffle they committed.
(4) the punishment for committing that Whiffle.

Issuing a document which purports to be a WN, but does not satisfy the
above conditions, is the Whiffle of Whiffling.

A punishment is exactly one of the following:
(1) A public apology of between 1 and 10 lines, to be performed by the
transgressor within 3 days of the issuance of the WN.
(2) An amount of money between A$1 and  A$25, to be transferred from the
transgressor to the Treasury.
(3) A deduction of between 0 and 10 points from the score of the
transgressor.

If a punishment of types (2) or (3) is specified, the transfer or point
loss takes place at the time of issuance of the WN.

It is good form to impeach Justices who are abusing their privilege of 
issuing Whiffle Notices.

also eliminates the penalties to Churches for using Secret Labs, as the

posting their name and text, and paying A$100 to the Treasury for research

type of Gadget, and the name must be legal and unique, or the creation
fails. 

II. A Discovery is said to be made by the player who posted its text.  If
a Rule creates a Discovery, authorship credit is given as listed by that
Rule.  If that Rule gives no authorship credit, then no authorship credit
shall be given.

III. A Discovery is Debunked if, within 7 days of its creation, at least 4
different players have protested its creation in a public forum.
Whenever a Discovery is Debunked, it is destroyed.  If a
Discovery is not Debunked after 7 days of its creation, then a new rule is
created as a member of this rule suite, with the title "<name>"
where <name> is the name of the Discovery, with authorship credit as
described in section II, and with text identical to the text of the
Discovery. The Discovery is then destroyed. Creation of a Blueprint does
not create any instances of the type of Gadget described by that
Blueprint.

IV. The term "Blueprint", as used in the rules, means a member of this

V. The custodian of the Blueprint Rule Suite is the Wizard.

VI.  All Blueprints defer precedence to rules which are not Blueprints.
