{No points shall be gained or lost by the passage or defeat of this proposal.}}

Repeal Rules 401, 403, 404, 437, and 444.

{{No points shall be gained or lost by the passage or defeat of this proposal.}}

There exists within Berserker Nomic the Spare Tire.

The Spare Tire is always possessed by a Player. If the Player possessing the Spare Tire forfeits, the Administrator gains possession of the Spare Tire. If a Player enters Limbo while in possession of the Spare Tire, possession of the Spare Tire is transferred to the Administrator after the passage of a complete turn. The Spare Tire has no effect if it is passes to the Administrator under the above circumstances.

A Player loses possession of the Spare Tire by publicly declaring that the Spare Tire has been given to an other Player who is not in LImbo. Within six hours of this public declaration, if the Player unto whom the Spare Tire is being given publicly declares that he doesn't want the tire, the Spare Tire does not change possession. Othrwise, possession of the Spare Tire is transfered six hours after the public declaration that it has been given to an other Player.

Each Player may make a statement as to the effect of the Spare Tire upon its possessor. This statement shall be identified as "The Spare Tire Creed of X," where X is the name of each respective Player. The Spare Tire shall have the effect assigned to it by the plurality, and at least one-third, of Spare Tire Creeds. If a plurality, and at least one-third agreement, does not exist, the Spare Tire shall have no effect. The effect of the Spare Tire has the force of this rule.

{{The Administrator possess the Spare Tire. The Spare Tire has no effect until it is passed to a Player other than the Adminstrator.}}

There exists within Berserker Nomic the epithet "Village Idiot." This epithet is applied to the Player who had the most votes against his Proposals in the previous turn.

If more than one Player share the honor of having the most votes against their Proposals in the previous turn, the epithet "Village Idiot" shall not be applied to any Player in the current turn. If no Player had votes against his Proposals in the previous turn, the epithet "Village Idiot" shall not be applied to any Player in the current turn.

A Player to whom the epithet "Village Idiot" is applied will not lose points for, at most, one Proposal for the current turn. If the Player has any Proposals that would normally cause him to lose no points, this rule has no effect. If the Player has no Proposals up for a vote, this rule has no effect. If all of the Player's Proposals result in a net loss of points, the Proposal that would cause the net loss of the fewest points instead causes no change, plus or minus, in the Player's score.

DOMINATEDCONVERGENCETHEOREM

{{This rule shall be titled "Sacred Cows"}}

{{This rule shall have number 601.}}

A Religion comes into existence at any time at which more than four players' Religious Opinions agree on some point, however small. Those players whose Religious Opinions agree on such a point are said to be "members" of said Religion.

A Religion is named according to the first public utterance (to the mailing list) by one of its members after the religion forms. Said name shall be the complete and total utterance, including signature lines, garish ASCII drawings, and punctuation, so namers of Religions shall be warned thusly, yea verily.

Members of a Religion may not change their Religious Opinions without first coming to an agreement. Said agreements shall be called Bulls, and are official documents which become Bulls only upon receiving the approval of every member of the Religion. Bulls shall detail the manners in which members' Religious Opinions shall change after the adoption of the Bulls, and said adoption and subsequent change shall occur immediately after all individuals in the Religion have consented to the appropriate Bull.

Members of a Religion who change their Religious Opinions without first coming to an agreement with their Religions are said to be Dirty Stinking Filthy Rotten American Pigdog Heretics. A Dirty Stinking Filthy Rotten American Pigdog Heretic may not make any changes to eir Religious Opinion which would cause them to join a Religion. Said prohibition shall last for forty days and forty nights, or until the next voting period ends, whichever is first.

The points on which the Religious Opinions of a Religion agree shall be called its Dogma. Dogma is considered inherently bad, unless a Religion's Dogma states explicitly otherwise, and hence arguments of Dogmatism should concern most firebrands and choirboys. Religions whose Dogmas disagree are said to be Agonistic toward one another.

Each new name must contain some combination of the words "People," "Liberation," "Front," and "Judea," making use of at least three of said words or grammatical variations upon them. Said name must be chosen immediately via a Bull. No other Religon-related action is possible, by any member of a Religion in such a circumstance, until it has issued this name-changing Bull. If a player is a member of a Religion which is Agonistic toward some different player's religion, the first player may not vote in the affirmative on any proposals which the second player makes.

There shall be an entity in Beserker Nomic known as the Thelma Charity Fund. Players may donate any item [[slack, UPC, Subers]] that they are in possession of to the Fund.

Each proposal which includes a transmutation and does not pass, causes those who voted for it to gain a UPC and each player who votes against it to have all the UPCs e owns destroyed destroyed.
