Proposal 4128
"Assistant Assistance"
ThinMan
Due: Thu Apr  1 11:07:51 1999


{{[
Rule 6-2-1 appears to have some problems.  First, it gets confused between
acting and assistant officers.  Perhaps the misspelling rule would clean
that bit up, but it still should be fixed.  Second, the rule makes no
provision for getting rid of assistants, or for assistants quitting.  Third,
the mechanics are a bit loosey-goosey.  This proposal is nothing
revolutionary, it just rewrites the rule in question in a way that I think
addresses the problems without changing the idea.
]}}

Amend rule 6-2-1 (Assistant Officers) by replacing the entire text with
the following MU-delimited text:

MU
An officer is considered to have performed a duty if either he or any
assistant officer for that office has performed that duty.

Any officer may, as a privilege of office which is permitted for acting
officers, appoint any player eligible to hold that office as an assistant
officer for that office.  (E.g. the Web Harfer may appoint someone
assistant Web Harfer.)  The player so appointed becomes an assistant officer
for that office upon publicly accepting the appointment within three days.

Any officer may, as a privilege of office which is permitted for acting
officers, dismiss any assistant officer for that office.  (E.g. the Spelling
Exchequer may dismiss any assistant Spelling Exchequer.)  The assistant so
dismissed immediately ceases to be an assistant officer for that office,
but no other assistant officer positions he may hold are affected.

An assistant officer may resign from any or all of his assistant officer
positions at any time.  Upon resigning from an assistant officer position
for a particular office, a player ceases to be an assistant officer for
that office.

All appointments, dismissals, and resignations described by this rule are
accomplished as public actions.  Players may not become or cease to be
assistant officers except as described by this rule.

Proposal 4129
*Really* Boring - like I care
Laa Laa
Due: Thu Apr  1 19:01:55 1999


This is a modest proposal.

Append the following text to the end of rule 7-18 (Spiro Agnew: Grow a
WHAT?!?):

"No player may take possesion of the The Really Big Blue Thing That
Doesn't Do Too Much, Really if e has used it during the last 28 days."
