                              MORNINGTON NOMIC

                     Proposals for Voting on in Week Thirty-One
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 936 - Flavour of the Month [Multiple]

[Amendment: Something A Bit More Interesting]
Amend Rule 2.0.0 (Definition of Normality) to add the following paragraph
at the beginning:

   This Volume describes variations the standard rules, and shall be known
   as the Raspberry Ripple Rules.

[Amendment: Something With A Bit More Variety]
Amend Rule 3.0.0 (Turin '57 Convention) so that the first paragraph reads
as follows:

   Mornington Crescent may be played on other transport networks than the
   London Underground. This Volume describes these different networks, and
   shall be known as the Mint Choc Chip Rules.

[Amendment: Something With A Bit More Tang]
Amend Rule 4.0.0 (Non-MC Games) such that its first paragraph reads thus:

   Other games than MC may be played on the London Underground (or
   equivalent network). In these games, having a Piece end a Turn at
   Mornington Crescent does not constitute a Win. This Volume describes
   these different approaches, and shall be known as the Cheese and Onion
   Rules.

[End of Flavour of the Month]

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

Proposal 937 - Typo Frenzy! [Multiple]

[Amendment: Volume Control]
Amend the last paragraph of Rule 0.1.2 (Terms of Reference) such that it
reads thus:

   The term "Mornington Crescent" in this Ruleset refers to, according
   to context, either the game described in Volumes 1 to 4, or the London
   Underground Station of the same name. The term "Game" in this Ruleset
   can mean either "Mornington Nomic" or "Mornington Crescent", but this
   should be clear from context.

{ Comment: was "... described in Rules 1.*.*", which is out of date. }

[Amendment: This Time It's Personal]
Amend Rule 0.7.1 (Points of Order) such that its second paragraph reads
thus:

   The email containing the Point of Order should have a subject
   line of 'MN: Point of Order'. If it does not have this subject
   line, the Point of Order may be considered invalid.

{ Comment: eliminating an inappropriate personal pronoun (was "... your
  Point of Order"). }

[Amendment: Volume Control II]
Amend Rule 1.1.2 (A New Game) such that its second paragraph reads thus:

   This New Game may be a Normal Game (using only the Vanilla Mornington
   Crescent Rules), or a Special Rules Game (using one or more sets of
   Mornington Crescent Rules from Volumes 2-4, in addition to those of the
   Normal Game).  Such a Game type is specified when the Speaker starts
   that Game.

{ Comment: again, using obsolete section numbering. }

[Amendment: Comments Required]
Amend Rule 1.3.1 (Taking A Turn) such that the penultimate bullet point
reads thus:

    * Appending to the Game State Document a Comment. Comments begin
      with "{Comment:" and end with a close brace "}". Comments in no
      way affect the state of play of the Game of Mornington
      Crescent, but may be required to clarify aspects of Play.

{ Comment: some comments are actually needed now. }

[Amendment: Impediments Blocked]
Amend Rule 1.7.6 (Straddling Nancy) such that its penultimate paragraph
reads thus:

   Although not considered to pass through any intervening Stations,
   the Straddle Destination must be a valid Move with respect to Blocks and

   other such impediments.

{ Comment: removinf an obsolete reference to the old Impediments section of

  Rule 1.5.0.}

[Amendment: Twelve?!]
Amend Rule 1.7.47 (Gold Rush) such that its last paragraph reads thus:

   After submitting eir GSD, the Actioning Player should roll a 295-sided
   die to determine the location of the lode - the next Player to take eir
   Turn should look up the Station which has a Venbacker Number matching
   the die roll; at the start of eir Turn, any gaps in that Station's Token

   Stack are replaced with Gold Tokens (a new Stack being created if none
   exists).

{ Comment: removing last reference to the twelve stack limit.}

[Amendment: Courier Wave]
Amend Rule 1.11.2 (Three-Point Courier) such that its third paragraph reads

thus:

   While a Player is carrying a Parcel, e may not make any Special Moves ,
   and may not perform Actions which would alter eir Piece position.

{ Comment: removing obsolete reference to Move Validity checks. }

[Amendment: Off the Map]
Amend Rule 1.17.1 (The Underground Map) such that the map URL reads as
follows:

http://members.xoom.com/mornomic/london/map.html

{ Comment: it's moved. }

[End of Typo Frenzy!]

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

Proposal 938 - The Third Side [Amendment]

Amend Rule 1.7.10 (Walk the Walk) such that its second paragraph is
replaced by the following text:

   Two Stations are within Walking Distance if they are adjacent to each
   other on the Map, or if they share the same name but are not co-located,

   or if a line drawn between them would form the third side of a triangle
   with a Station adjacent to both and the Stations do not share a Line
   Segment (eg Queensway to Bayswater, or Rickmansworth to Croxley would be

   valid; Northolt to Pervial or Croxley to Northwood would not be valid).

   In addition, the following Stations are within Walking Distance of each
   other:-

{ Comment: a presumption of geographical proximity, if you like. }

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

Proposal 939 - Focus Group [Multiple]

[Amendment: Under the Microscope]

Add the following possession to the table in Rule 1.4.18 (The Emporium):

       | Magnifier      | 6 Br |       |

[Action: Foskdyke's Magnifier]

Action:      [Magnify]
Phase:      Pre-Move
Duration:    20 mins
Cost:      none

   If a Player is carrying a Magnifier Possession, e may perform the
   Pre-Move Action of "Magnify". This has the effect of loosening Fosdyke
   Requirements on Actions operating on a particular Station, Player, Token

   Stack or Line played during that Turn such that a single Fosdyke
   Requirment component may have its index increased by one.

   For example -

      * (S0) => (S1) - the Player need only be adjacent rather than
       co-located

      * (S0,L0) => (S1,L0) or (S0,L1) - the Player may be at an adjacent
       Station on the same Line, or on a different Line at
       the same Station.

[End of Focus Group]

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

Proposal 940 - Louder Actions [Amendment]

{ Comment: one or two Actions seem to have dropped out of the Actions
  table. The following extra lines have been drawn from the original
  Proposals. }

Add the following lines to the Action table in the appropriate alphabetic
locations:

[Declension] Pre  1.7.58    varies 
[fFrobisher fFlourish] Neut 1.7.59    5Bu 
[Speed Craze] Pre  1.8.13    3Gr 
[Craze Sidestep] Pre  1.8.13    3Bk 
[Terminate Craze] Post 1.8.13 
[Double-Shunting <Player> Post 1.10.2    1Re    

     to <Station>]

{ Comment: that last one is probably the most surprising omission. Also, no

  cost is mentioned in the Proposal so I've taken it as being a single red
  just as the Shunt was made to be eventually. }

In addition, move the entry for [Topple] to its rightful place after [Toll
to <Player>].


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

Proposal 941 - Your Freem Clamp Glows Black For A Moment [Multiple]

{ Only one from me, again, this week. Busy times. }

Throughout the Ruleset, replace the words "Indestructable" and "Undroppable"
with "Cursed".

{ Well, why not? }
