CUBOIDAL A Spherical Rator is an institutional power. There is no additional cost for buying a Spherical Rator, however a Rator may not be created except as part of a newly created Institution. Spherical Rators are not tradeable. Spherical Rators are either glowing or dim. An Institution which owns a Glowing Spherical Rator is known as a Sphere of Influence. The members of an Institution which owns a Spherical Rator may, by unanimous public support, admit a player who has publicly asked to join the Institution. A player may leave an Institution which owns a Spherical Rator as a public action. A Spherical Rator is Glowing if the Institution which owns it has three or more players, otherwise it is Dim. A subcommittee is a Sphere of Influence which has been selected by a player as the subcommittee for one of eir proposals. It is the Crime of Branch Stacking to be a member of more than one Sphere of Influence. If an Institution owns both a Spherical Rator and any other Institutional Power than the Spherical Rator is instantly destroyed. CUBOIDAL After the first sentence of rule 2, add "If there is at least one Sphere of Influence in existance, the submitter must specify a Sphere of Influence as the subcommittee of the proposal or the proposal is invalid." In rule 2, replace "The proposal is then accepted if the proposal's Acceptance Index exceeds its Acceptance Threshold." with "If the Subcommittee Acceptance Index exceeds its Subcomittee Acceptance Threshold then the proposal is considered to have passed in subcommittee. Otherwise it is rejected in subcommittee. A proposal is rejected in subcommittee if its subcommittee is no longer a Sphere of Influence at the end of the proposal's voting period. If the proposal does not have a subcommittee than it is treated as automatically being passed in subcommittee. If the proposal passes in subcommittee and its Acceptance Index exceeds its Acceptance Threshold then it is accepted. Otherwise it is rejected." In rule 2-1, insert after the second-to-last paragraph "A proposal's Subcommittee Acceptance Index is the sum of all positive votes cast by members of the proposal's subcommittee, plus 1.5 times the sum of all negative votes cast by the same subcommittee. Only those votes legally cast within its prescribed voting period are considered. A proposal's Subcommittee Acceptance Threshold is 0, unless changed as described in the rules. Amend section III of rule 2-2 to read "If a Grandiose proposal is accepted, the player who proposed it receives 10 points. If a proposal which is neither Modest nor Grandiose is accepted, the player who proposed it receives 5 points. If a Modest proposal is rejected, the player who proposed it loses 4 points. If a Grandiose proposal is rejected, the player who proposed it loses 12 points. If a proposal which is neither Modest nor Grandiose is rejected, the player who proposed it loses 7 points. A proposal can only be declared to be Modest or Grandiose as defined by the Rules." In rule 2-2, insert a new section IV with the following ROUNDSCORING delimited text, and renumber the subsequent rules accordingly. ROUNDSCORING Each time a proposal passes in subcommittee, that Sphere of Influence's Generosity increases by one. Each time a proposal is rejected in subcommittee, that Sphere of Influence's Generosity decreases by one. Each time a proposal which has a subcommittee is accepted or rejected, if the subcommittee is a Sphere of Influence, all members of the Sphere receive 2 points. When a proposal with a subcommittee is accepted, the player who proposed it receives 3 points for each Sphere of Influence with a higher Generosity than the subcommittee on that proposal. When a proposal with a subcommittee is rejected, the player who proposed it loses 2 point for each Sphere of Influence with a lower Generosity than the subcommittee on that proposal.
