Voting Actions The following are voting actions: A. Casting a legal vote as defined by rule 106. B. Being part of a political party that gets a unity vote. II. The Right to Fair Voting A proposal is invalid if it calls for one or more effects that discriminate in any way between players based on their voting actions on that proposal, or any other specific proposal or proposals identified in the proposal. Effects that depend on the way players vote are allowed if they apply to all proposals, or to all proposals in one or more classes previously defined by the rules. III. Effects Triggered on Changing the Triggering Rules If a proposal adds, changes, or repeals rules that generate effects or cause some entity to generate effects (including but not limited to score changes) based on the way players vote, then those rules generate no effects based on the way players vote on that particular proposal. This section of this rule takes precedence over all other rules which generate effects based on the way players vote on proposals.

SCAMFEST After a player has exploited, or attempted to exploit, a loophole in the rules (even if the loophole is later found not to have existed), any other player may call a Scam Hunt against them, provided that the player hasn't had a Scam Hunt called against them in during the past week. A Scam Hunt is a serious hearing. The player who calls the hearing is the hearing harfer for it and the valid responses are: "Wow! She drove a truck through it!" and "I don't think she knows how to drive.". If the result of the hearing is "I don't think she knows how to drive." The player against whom the hearing was called receives a black mark. If the result of the hearing is "Wow! She drove a truck through it!" the player who called for the hearing receives a black mark. When only one player, from amongst all players with an acka age of more than three months who are eligible to win a cycle, does not own a black mark that player gains a winning condition. When the cycle is won by this method each player who owns at least one black back has one destroyed and the winner of the cycle gains one black mark. Black marks are non-tradeable entities.

K 2 Due: Mon Dec 28 15:15:07 1998 Status: rejected I. Create a new rule as part of the Otzma Cards Rule Suite (rule 1240) with the title "Otzma Card of type Automatic Painting" consisting of the following AMSRWDWHTRT delimited text: AMSRWDWHTRT An Automatic Painting is an unframed piece of blank canvas - its rather depressing to look at, having only a single feature of interest, a rather handy brush someone has attached to it by means of a length of stout chain. Needless to say the brush is magic, unfortunately it is also chronically {{[chromically ;)]}} unimaginative. Automatic Paintings are always in one of two states, inspired and uninspired. They are created in the uninspired state. When a player other than the player who buried an uninspired Automatic Painting finds the treasure containing it, it becomes inspired. An Otzma Card of this type can only be played in the public forum. When it is played one of the following shall occur depending on its state: i) If it was in the inspired state when it was played the magic brush will flash into action painting the card into a fascinating (though perhaps offensively avant-garde) abstract painting. A random player is selected to publicly describe the masterpiece; if a description has not been made public within three days of their selection it defaults to "It is X." where X is one of the colours defined in Rule 1155, chosen at random, or green if no such colours exist. When a description has been arrived at according to the previous paragraph, a trinket with that description, worth A$123, and the name "Painting X" where X is replaced by the least prime number that would result in a unique name. ii) If the card was in the uninspired state when it was played it shall explode in a cloud of murrey smoke. Cards of this type have an F-designation of Rare. AMSRWDWHTRT II. If the following DIRTYMONEY delimited text appears in Rule 429 (Treasure-Harfer) replace it with the following PAYDIRT delimited text, otherwise insert the PAYDIRT delimited text at the start of the last paragraph in that rule. No text is actually delimited within this paragraph. DIRTYMONEY Instead of the normal salary for a Functional Officer, the Treasure-Harfer shall receive an Automatic Sculpture every month. DIRTYMONEY PAYDIRT Instead of the normal salary for a Functional Officer, the Treasure-Harfer shall receive an Automatic Painting Otzma Card every month. PAYDIRT III. Remove the following text from Rule 1270 (Puzzle Pieces): " and an Automatic Sculpture " and insert the following text after the first occurrence of "A$250" in that rule: " and an Automatic Painting " ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 3953 rejected From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Mon, 28 Dec 1998 15:25:47 -0500 (EST) Proposal 3953 Yes votes: 3/7: proposal rejected Yes: Trent (Giant Objectionable Potato) Robin Hood (Anti-Voting Preservationist Party) JT (The Razor Boomerangs) No: Calvin N Hobbes smallpox blanket (Klingon) else...if ThinMan (Vulcan) Abstain r-attila the farce (Giant Objectionable Potato) Niccolo Flychuck (MetaMorph) IdiotBoy (Anti-Voting Preservationist Party) K 2 NY E NJ (The Razor Boomerangs) Danek rufus Vynd (Vulcan) Studge (Giant Objectionable Potato) O Olde Alpha Eric.

FROBTWEAK The Privileges of the Promoter are: a) To frob or tweak the proposal queue, as a public action. The proposal queue remains in whichever state (frobbed or tweaked) it was last set to. b) To ignore any proposal submission by a player who already has three or more proposals that are currently being voted on (i.e., in the voting queue). This Privilege may only be exercised when the voting queue is frobbed. [Furthermore, the Promoter shall only use this power for good, and never for evil.] These two privileges may be exercised even by an acting Promoter. FROBTWEAK {{[ In this day an age of automated proposal bots, it's unlikely that this will get used, and thus it's an unneeded priveledge. ]}} ------------------------------ End of acka-voting Digest V3 #243 *********************************
