This poetic proposal comes from Fascist (aka ImperialNomic) game number 6:
'Proposer:' Jim Huggins
'Proposed:' 2 Dec 1994
'Praise and Proposal:'
Oh Emperor, Ruler of High and Low,
Hear my tale of pain and woe.
Yesterday, before I slept,
Before I had begun to snore,
I had a score you would accept;
Just 5 small tags; a simple score.
Three [whi?, to help me towards the end
To earn a [yel?, our highest aim,
An [ora?, protector, faithful friend,
And {ihw}, for oddness, to maintain.
But then, Thy glorious presence came,
Decended to the judgment place,
And made five rulings in our game,
That caused my simple score to race.
For plenteous awards were given
To me, according to the rules,
And now my score was ten and seven --
Which by the rules, I had to lose.
How can I hope to reach the prize
of [yel?, what bliss, if every time
I near the goal, before my eyes
(By God, it's hard to make this rhyme...)
My tokens vanish into air,
As if in some great Holocaust?
Oh noble sir, it's just not fair!
(Though you are always truly just.)
I ask you to consider here
a solution t o this problem; grant
that players keep their tokens dear --
but if their score is aberrant
(That is, if tokens total more
that ten and six, as was 'till now),
a player must reduce his score
through trades, before you will allow
That player to propose a rule.
And if he should neglect his state,
Only then shall life be cruel,
and apply to him the former fate.
Be gracious, Emperor, to me --
consider now my humble plea.
'Decision and Reason:' by the Emperor
My humble servant, best of all,
I accept thy proposal.
The beauty of it isn't mean,
So I award thee with a [gre?.
The Rate of 1 provides a [red?.
(I wish I could rhyme like that.)
(You've picked the right time of the year. At 5 December, Holland celebrates "Sinterklaas" (the original version of Santa Claus), and everybody's writing rhymes.)
'Score:' by The Humble Scribe
Peer pressure, huh? All right, then, fine!
We've modified Rule 39.
For the acceptance, he earns [red?,
And with Rate 1 it should be said
Another [red? is given out.
Now, what these rhymes are all about:
A [gre? as a Special Award!
This rhyming's dull. I'm getting bored.
