acka-voting Digest Wednesday, January 20 1999 Volume 04 : Issue 019 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Acka: Proposal 4019 From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 02:01:13 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4019 What me fix things? JT Due: Wed Jan 27 02:01:12 1999 This is a modest proposal {{[ The thrust of this proposal is to reintroduce the terminology for rule suites so that things that depend on them such as party chess and otzma cards can work again. It also removes any additional references to custodians. Rule suite custodianship was never used, so we might as well get rid of it. I also make one or two more rules unassailable so that things like the entityhood of rules don't get broken by the oh-so-random dragon. ]}} Create a rule numbered 2-3-1 titled 'Rule Suites' with the following text as delimited by SWEET_SUITE SWEET_SUITE A rule is considered to be the head of a Rule Suite if the rule contains the text 'This is the head of the X Rule Suite.' where X is replaced by the name of the Rule Suite as the first sentance of the rule. All descendants of the head of a Rule Suite are members of that Rule Suite. The head of a Rule Suite is also considered to be a member of that Rule Suite. SWEET_SUITE Amend rule 1-7 (Paradigms Rule Suite) by inserting the following text as the first paragraph; "This is the head of the Paradigms Rule Suite." Amend rule 1-7 by deleteing the text '[[Link to the paradigms]'. Amend rule 4-8 (Quests Rule Suite) by replacing '[link to quests]' with "This is the head of the Quests Rule Suite." Amend rule 7-4 (Definition of Otzma Cards) by inserting the following text as the first paragraph; "This is the head of the Otzma Card Rule Suite." Amend rule 12-8 (Party Chess Rule Suite) by inserting the following text as the first paragraph; "This is the head of the Party Chess Rule Suite."

OFC Some Functional Officers may issue Official Decrees (OD) on a certain topic if so authorized by the rules. A player may object to an OD which has not already been objected to by paying the SHF and publicly stating eir opposition. If a player does so, an Objective Decision Hearing (ODH) is called on the Decree, with the objecting player as Hearing Harfer. The valid decisions on an ODH are "A wise and benevolent decision" and "Self serving low life". If the decision is the latter, the Officer who made the OD pays the SHF to the opposer, and the Official Decree objected to is overturned. OFC Create rule 6-20-1, "SHF", with the following RANDOMTEXT delimited text. RANDOMTEXT The Standard Harfer Fee (SHF) is a value between A$15 and A$35, inclusive. {{The SHF is set to A$25.}} Every month on the 24th (or the next three days), the Financier must announce the SHF for the next month, which must be a legal value for the SHF, as a OD. The Financier is then fined five times the difference between the new SHF and A$25. If this OD is overturned then SHF is set to 50 minus the SHF the Financier set (that is, the other side of A$25). Whenever the rules direct that the SHF be paid, it is paid to the Treasury. RANDOMTEXT Remove rule 7-4, section IV. ------------------------------ End of acka-voting Digest V4 #19 ********************************
