Niccolo Flychuck Due: Sat Jan 30 09:24:30 1999 {{[since the old org framework doesn't appear to be coming back, and all Party Swingers are now on very thin ice, this proposal divorces Swingers entirely from Parties, removes the restriction on the number of Free Swingers, but doesn ot remove the restriction on the number of on-board Swingers.

Just for the record, this has already been done, at least in my most recent local copy which should also be online at www.ackanomic.org. Also, changes to the whitespacing within the rules is a perogative of the rule-harfer, so if you find the spacing wrong, all you need to do is tell me and I can do it as a priveledge of my office. --JT [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] [ Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. ] [ It's hard to seize the day when you must first grapple with the morning ] [-------------------------------------------------------------------------] ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4038 From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 19:04:08 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4038 If You Want it Done Right... else...if Due: Sat Jan 30 19:04:06 1999 Amend item v of rule 6-3 to read "If the IP is ACCEPTED, the Player named in the IP is no longer considered to be the "Acting" officer, and the Seat is open, unless the office was Functional, in which case the player who authored the IP receives the position." ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 4039 From: jtraub@dragoncat.net Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 23:35:24 -0500 (EST) Proposal 4039 Making things a little harder else...if Due: Sat Jan 30 23:35:24 1999 Append to the end of "Dateing" the following JUSTPLAINMEAN delimited text JUSTPLAINMEAN It is the Crime of Promiscuity to invite a player of Ackanomic to a date.
