Proposal 4057
Point of Order
Slakko
Due: Mon Feb  8 14:28:10 1999


Amend Rule 8-4, "Winning by Points", to read as delimited by AHHA! below:

AHHA!
Points are entities. It is possible for a Player to have a negative number
of points. 
The number of points a Player has is commonly referred to as his or her
score; when it is specified that a Player's score is changed, the
appropriate number of points are created or destroyed in order to
accomplish the specified change. 
A player's Magic Number is the number of points they need to win a cycle
by points.  A player's Magic Number is equal to (500 + 50*C), where C is
the number of cycles that player has won.
A player achieves a Winning Condition at the instant their number of
points first reaches or exceeds their Magic Number in any given Cycle,
provided that no one else has previously had a score reach or exceed their
Magic Number during that cycle. 
If the rules specify that a player, other than the ScoreKeeper, gains a
winning condition as a result of having a certain number of points, the
scorekeeper may declare them to have won. If no player objects to the
Scorekeeper's declaration within three days, then the above-mentioned
player wins the Cycle and the winning condition is destroyed. (Otherwise,
the player may still resort to CWCFJ as outlined in Rule 8.) 
A Cycle-Win CFJ shall be judged INVALID if it claims a Winning Condition
which is subject to a declaration by the scorekeeper, made according to
the previous paragraph, and no player has objected to that declaration. 

If two or more voting players reach their Magic Number at exactly the same
time, as determined by the Scorekeeper, both shall have achieved a
Winning Condition.

If two or more voting players reach the Magic Number at substantially the
same time, and the Scorekeeper, in a good faith attempt, cannot determine
which of the players reached it first, then the players are deemed to have
reached their Magic Numbers at exactly the same time, and the preceding
paragraph shall apply. Making this determination is a duty of the
Scorekeeper. 
AHHA!

Amend Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle", by replacing sections f) and g) with the
following ENDHALVE-delimited text:

ENDHALVE
f) All players except the winner have their score halved.  The winner has
their score reset to zero.
g) All players receive A$ equal to the change in their score resulting
from the application of section e).
ENDHALVE

Amend Rule 8-2 "End of Cycle", by replacing sections i) and j) with the
following SIMPLE-delimited text:

SIMPLE
i) The cycle number is incremented.
SIMPLE

In Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle" relabel sections k, l, m and n to j, k, l and
m respectively.

In Rule 6-5-6, "Illuminatus", replace "5/6 times the Magic Number" with
"100 points less than eir Magic Number".
