                               MORNINGTON NOMIC

             Proposals for Voting on in Year Two, Week Twenty-Seven
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 534 - You Are Here [Amendment]

To the list of new Game things in Rule 1.1.2 (A New Game), add:-

     *  The Game shall take place in a Lounge of the Speaker's choice.

{ Comments : Rather a stupid oversight, there. Tsk. }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 535 - We Don't Need No ISO9000 [Amendment]

Remove the "Failure to follow Rule 1.2.0" row from Rule 0.9.1 (Kudos).

{ Comments : We've never, ever, ever remembered to take any notice of this
             one, and it seems a bit fiddly and pointless anyway. }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 536 - Meanwhile, in another Nomic... [Enactment]

   Upon Enactment of this Rule, any Player who joined Garden Nomic in the
   past Week and cited Kevan as the Gnome who persuaded em to join shall
   receive ten Kudos. This Rule will then repeal itself.

{ Comments : I'll get the Recruitment Medal and be a step nearer winning,
             is all. Shameful of me, but I really can't think of any more
             interesting Proposals this Week, and this struck me as amusing.

             http://members.xoom.com/gnomic, for details. }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 537 - Plastic Age (The Buggles) [Multiple]

Amend Rule 1.4.10 (This Token has a Cash Value of 0.0001p) to read:

Any Player may pay 10 Plastic Tokens of the same colour to exchange them for
1 Gold Token by performing the [Bonanza] Action.  Exchanged Tokens are
returned to the Token Dispensers where all tokens come from.

Amend 1.7.16 (Neutral Actions) so that the [Bonanza] action reads:

[Bonanza]                                1.4.10             -10 Plastic

{Comment:
I figured that people want more ways to get those all-important Gold Tokens,
and the Bonanza action has been a bit of a fizzer up until now.  I don't
think this is going to throw the game askew, though.
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 538 - Hats: People Aren't Wearing Enough of Them [Amendment]
 
Amend Rule 1.4.20 (Token Collection Table) to add the following entry: 
 
| Finishing eir Turn at a Station matching a Hat | +1 Plastic Token  | 
| owned by the Player and not collected at that  |   per matching    | 
| Station that Turn                              |       Hat         | 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 539 - Not Long Enough [Multiple]
 
{ Comment: 
  There isn't really any adequate way of specifying that an enactment 
  must apply to a specific Special Ruleset, so I'll just say in this 
  comment that this enactment should live in the Long Game section 
  (although I suppose that's obvious from the wording of No Charge...) 
} 
 
[Enactment: No Charge] 
Rule 1.19.3 (Charge of the Heavy Brigade) shall not apply to the Long Game. 
 
{ Comment: 
  The point is that we can't really have a Long Game whose length is 
  regulated solely by the large number of Gold Tokens to be collected when 
  Charge can (theoretically) be used to win the Game at any time. 
 
  The other option would be, of course, to recast Rule 1.19.3 as being a 
  three Gold Token discount, but I don't fancy that. 
} 
 
[Amendment: Apart From This One] 
Amend Rule 2.5.1 (The Long Game) to read thus: 
 
"In the Long Game, the cost for the [Opening MC] action is 25 Gold Tokens." 
 
{ Comment: removing the (now spurious) assertion that there are no other 
  variations from the Vanilla Ruleset. This clause could also be read 
  to prevent such arcana as a Long Chalk Farm game. 
} 
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 540 - Running the Game into the Ground [amendment]

Amend the final sentence of Rule 1.4.11 (Token Running) to read as follows:

A player may not perform the [Token Running] action from the same Terminus more
than once per Game, nor may e perform the action when moving away from any
other Terminus on a Line on which e has already performed the action, or when
moving away from any Terminus in Zone 1.

{alternatively...}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 541 - Running out of Steam [repeal]

Repeal rule 1.4.11

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 542 - Any colour, as long as it's Puce [multiple]

{Let's try this again...}

Add the following to the end of the first paragraph of Rule 1.4.1 (Token
Gesture):

Any number of each colour of tokens may be in play except Puce tokens, of which
there may be no more than ten in play (either in the possession of players or
on token stacks) at any one time per game.

Amend the second paragraph of Rule 1.4.1 (Token Gesture) to read as follows:

"There are eight colours of Token - three Metallic (Gold, Silver and Bronze)
and five Plastic (Black, Blue, Green, Puce and Red)."

Add the following description of Puce Tokens to the list in the same rule:

* Puce : Wild (may be used in place of any other plastic token, except when
being placed on a token stack when it is always Puce; in each case, the user
should specify which token(s) it is replacing in the comments at the end of eir
turn)

Add the following details of the [Silver to Puce] action to Rules 1.7.21
(Bureau de Change) and 1.7.16 (Neutral Actions):

Action			Cost/Paid	Received
[Silver to Puce]	1 Silver	2 Puce
