                     Proposals for Voting on in Week Seventeen
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 860 - Ordering the deck [Mulitple]

In
Rule 1.1.2 - A New Game

replace the paragraph beginning:

   When a Game has at least three Players (including the Drone), 

with:

   When a Game has at least three Players (including the Drone), the Order
   of Play is determined by the Speaker and announced to the list. That
   Game then commences.

   The Speaker shall determine Order of Play by adding each Player to the Game
   such that the number of times a Player follows the same Player across all
   Games is minimised. Within the above contraint the Order of Play should be
   random.

In
Rule 1.1.8 - Joining In

replace the sentence:

   When a new Player joins a Game already in progress, eir position in the
   Playing Order shall be determined by random selection.

with:

   When a new Player joins a Game already in progress, the Speaker shall
   determine eir position in the Playing Order by adding the Player such that
   the number of times a Player follows the same Player across all Games is
   minimised. Other than this the position shall be determined randomly.

{
Attempting to reduce situations of the form:

  Rushton moves in 3 Games simultaniously, which means it is Garden's turn
  in those 3 Games (thus putting pressure on Garden).
}

Proposal 861 - Alaric Jespersen strikes back! [Enactment]

I propose:
 Rule 1.16.x - Alaric Jespersen strikes back! 

   If a Player believes that another Player has performed an Action which,
   though in accordance with the Rules being used for that Game, is too
   powerful for its cost and duration, and if no more than three other
   Turns have been made since, e may claim that the said Action is a
   Jespersen Manoeuvre. This is done by posting a message to the relevant
   Game Lounge, detailing the effects of the Manoeuvre. 

   When a Jespersen Manoeuvre has been announced, the Speaker appoints a
   Judge, who (within 5 days) must decide if the statement "<Action> is a
   Jespersen Manoeuvre" is TRUE or FALSE. If the Judge finds the Statement
   TRUE, any adopted Proposal to remedy the Rule containing the said Action
   gains its Proposer 3 Kudos in addition to the usual gain.

Proposal 862 - Corner & Side [Muliple]

This proposal consists of 3 new Rules and a new Section, as well as an
Action Table entry.


Rule 1.4.x - Personality

   Certain Possessions may possess the "Personal" attribute. Such
   Possessions contain the prefix "<Player>'s" (or "<Player>', if
   that is correct). In some cases, the postfix (<Player>) can be
   used instead.


Rule 1.4.x - Corner & Side

   A Player at Farringdon may perform the Action of "[Corner & Side]".
   This creates a Personal Token Box, a Small Possession, in eir
   Luggage Rack.
   All Tokens stacked at a Player's Home Station at the beginning of
   eir Turn become Personal Tokens, if eir Personal Token Box exists.

Rule 1.4.x - Personal Tokens
   Personal Tokens are like other Tokens, except for their limited
   stackability and collectability.

   No Token can be stacked on top of a Personal Token, except the
   Personal Tokens of the same or the next Player, as defined in the
   GSD Table.

   All Personal Tokens held by a Player without the corresponding
   Personal Token Box, disintegrate at the end of the Player's Turn.

   All a resigning Player's Personal Tokens become ordinary Tokens.

   Personal Tokens have their own lines (one per Personal Token Box)
   in the GSD table.


/------------------------------------------------------------------------------\
                      SECTION 2.x - The Corner & Side Option
\------------------------------------------------------------------------------/

Rule 2.x.1 - The Corner & Side Option

   In the Corner & Side Option, each Player begins the game with a Personal
   Token Box in addition to the usual initial Possessions and Tokens.

Proposal 863 - Polliwogs and Hedgehogs [Enactment]

Rule 1.4.x - Polliwogs and Hedgehogs

   Any Player may perform the Action of "[Poll Tax]".
   This Action eliminates one Token of each colour from each Player.
   If a Player has no Tokens of a colour, no Tokens of that colour
   are taken from em.

Action ('#' if Singular)       Phase Rule    Dur   Cost      Gain    FR
