------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MORNINGTON NOMIC Proposals for Voting on in Week Sixteen -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proposal 122 - Absent Speaker [Other, Multiple] [Enactment: Absent Speaker] If the Speaker is Inactive and e has not nominated a Player to take eir position in eir absence, the following Rules shall be ignored:- Rule 102 - Players, Voters and the Speaker Rule 106 - Proposal Submission Rule 107 - Proposal Distribution Rule 204 - Points of Order Rule 205 - Calls for Judgement Rule 207 - Distribution of Voting Results Rule 209 - Lurker Proposals Rule 213 - Word of the Week { Comment:- So that we can carry on playing Mornington Crescent even when the Speaker's on holiday or ill or dead or whatever. } [Transmutation] The Rule created by the previous Enactment shall be made Immutable. { Comment:- So that it can legally overrule the relevant Immutables. } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proposal 123 - Less Direct Tinkering Ban [Amendment] Adjust Rule 210 so that instead of reading "If the passing of a Proposal would directly cause any aspect of the Mornington Crescent Game State (such as Token levels, Piece positions or Station Blocks) to be altered, that Proposal may not pass, irrespective of Votes cast. This takes precedence over all other Rules regarding the passing of Proposals." it reads "If the passing of a Proposal would directly cause any aspect of the Mornington Crescent Game State (such as Token levels, Piece positions or Station Blocks) to be altered, and if it receives at least one AGAINST Vote, it may not pass. This takes precedence over all other Rules regarding the passing of Proposals." { Comments: Well, just in case we ever *do* need to change any bits of the Game State... Unanimous vote is a fairly safe way to do it, I think. } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Proposal 124 - Line Switching [Amendment] If Proposal 116 did not pass, the following Amendments should not take place. { Speaker's Comment: It did, they will. } In whichever Rule contains the list of Token costs and rewards for incurred for various actions, replace "Ending on a different line as eir previous move" with "Playing any Station on a different Line to eir Previous Move, as eir Move". To the same Rule, add the "Action/Event" of "Playing any Station on the same Line to eir Previous Move, as eir Move" with a Token change of "+1 Black". { Comments: We could use an easier way to get Black Tokens, if the "1 Black to change Lines" Proposal gets through. And the wording of it was rather dodgy - being Shunted to a different Line would also incur a Token penalty... } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
