JT Due: Thu Jan 28 02:58:33 1999 This is a modest proposal. {{[ This fixes up the little loophole left by K 2's amendments, and sets the magic number and the base value of the magic number to be 281, which it would have been, had this rule worked correctly the first time. I also fix the wording about a player recieving a chartreuse Goose in rule 8-2 to give them goose cards. I also fix other references to the Chartreuse Goose to refer to the cards instead. ]}} Amend rule 8-4 to change the base Value of the Magic Number to 281. {{The Magic Number becomes 281}} Amend rule 8-2 (End of Cycle) in the following two ways. I. In section i), remove the text " (i.e. the Winning Condition was due to Rule 8-4)" II. In section l), replace "the Chartreuse Goose" with "a Chartreuse Goose Card". Amend rule 10-1-2-1 (The Ackanomicon), by replacing the following GOOSE delimited text GOOSE Ancient One (1 page): The player warps time and space with a terrifying incantation of power, summoning the Ancient Powers into his presence. The Chartreuse Goose is immediately transfered into his possession, and it's not happy. If the reading player was already in possession of the Chartreuse Goose, then it goes Somewhere Else (and is REALLY not happy). GOOSE with the following SWAN(SONG) delimited text SWAN(SONG) Ancient One (1 page): The player warps time and space with a terrifying incantation of power, summoning the Ancient Powers into his presence. A Chartreuse Goose is immediately created in eir possession.

We can implement IdiotBoy's Vote Counting, or at least propose it, if there is enough support for the idea of different voting strengths.] Replace the second paragraph of Rule 2-1, "Voting on Proposals", with the following MULTICOUNT-delimited text: MULTICOUNT A proposal meets the criteria to be accepted if the sum of the Voting Characteristics of the players who legally voted YES on that proposal exceeds the sum of the Voting Characteristics of the players who legally voted NO on that proposal. MULTICOUNT Amend Rule 2, "Proposals", by replacing the third paragraph with the following MULTICOUNT2-delimited text: MULTICOUNT2 As soon as possible after a proposal's prescribed voting period ends, the votes on that proposal shall be posted publicly. The proposal is then accepted if it meets the criteria specified in Rule 2-1. MULTICOUNT2 Create a new Rule, numbered 4-4-6, titled "Voting Characteristic", with the following MULTI-delimited text: MULTI Each player has a Characteristic called their Voting Characteristic. It has a Default Value of 2. A player may pay A$2500 to raise their Voting Characteristic by 1. A player with Voting Characteristic greater than 1 may lower their Voting Characteristic by 1 as a Public Action, and receive A$2000 for doing so. No player may raise their Voting Characteristic above 50% of the number of Active Players.

Your call as to whether it is necessary.] Create a new Rule, numabered 2-1-2, entitled "Annoying, Huh?", with the following HUH? delimited text: HUH? Any player who owns a Champion's Cloak, may, as a public action, Annoy any proposal which is currently under voting consideration. If 5 players legally Annoy a single proposal, then that proposal is vetoed, declared invalid and removed from voting consideration.

JT Due: Thu Jan 28 12:46:07 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."
