                              MORNINGTON NOMIC

                     Proposals for Voting on in Week Twenty-Nine
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 929 - Clear amendments [Enactment]

Rule 0.4.X - Clear Amendments.

A Proposal to Amend a Rule must fully quote the entire section of the rule
in its 'before' and 'after' states, such that potential voters are given a
clear idea exactly what is being changed.  Proposers are encouraged to
include commentary on the change, explaining why the change is necessary and
what, if any, side effects might result from the change. 

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

Proposal 930 - Metamorphosis [Amendment]

In Rule 1.9.6 (Kafka Sinkholes), replace "all of eir non-Black, non-Metallic
Tokens are converted to Black Tokens" with "all of eir Tokens are converted
to Black Tokens, on a one-for-one basis".

{ Making it a lot harsher, since the current version is maybe a little
  underpowered for the amount of time and effort it takes to set up. That
  nobody's yet pulled one off is probably a sign of something.

  And while I'm here, I might as well clarify the any-to-Black ratio, since
  it's arguably a bit unclear. }

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

Proposal 931 - Clamp of the Eco-Warrior [Amendment]

Change the second paragraph Rule 1.4.41 (The Green Clamp) from:-

   At the end of any Turn of a Player carrying a Green Clamp, if that
   Player has sufficient Tokens to perform a "[Recycling]" Action, but
   has not performed such an Action this Turn, eir Turn is Illegal.

to:-

   At the end of any Turn of a Player carrying a Green Clamp, if that
   Player has not performed the "[Recycling]" Action, eir Turn is
   Illegal.

{ Recycling allows Possessions to be mulched, now, so this really needs
  changing. If Recycling is actually impossible, one can always Pass. }

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

Proposal 932 - Washing [Multiple]

{
   More petty cleaning.
}

In Rule 2.14.2 - Limited Actions
remove all references to singularities

{
  Singularities no longer exist.

In Rule 1.1.2 - A New Game
replace "Normal Game" with "Vanilla Game" in this paragraph.

   This New Game may be a Normal Game (using only the 1.x Mornington
   Crescent Rules), or a Special Rules Game (using one or more 2.x
   Mornington Crescent Rules, in addition to those of the Normal Game).
   Such a Game type is specified when the Speaker starts that Game.

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

In Rule 1.1.12 - Order of Play

Rewrite
   
   number of times a
   Player follows the same Player 

to

   number of times any

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

In Rule 1.3.1 - Taking a Turn

Replace the phrase

   unless this is
   the first Turn of the Game, this posting will be a copy of the previous
   Player's Turn, with appropriate alterations.

with
   
   unless this is
   the first Turn of the Game, this posting will be a copy of the previous
   Player's GSD, with appropriate alterations.

}

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

In Rule 1.4.16 - Playing with Food

{
   Rule 1.4.18 - The Emporium

Proposal 933 - Wordings [Amendment]

In Rule 1.4.1 - Token Gesture
Change the last sentence of:

   The Token Cost of any Action shall, where applicable, reflect the
   nature of the Action and the extent of its effect. The nature of
   the Action shall be reflected in the colour of Token required and
   the extent shall be reflected in the number of Tokens required. The
   type of Actions the different Token Colours should apply to shall
   be as follows:

to

   The following list shows what type of Action each Token should be used
   as payment for:

{
    * Black         - Move Actions (those which only affect the position or
                      movement of the Actioning Player's Piece)

   I don't like the original wording, but my alternative isn't much better.
}
