Proposal 1928
Rental: minimal fun... and a bother to track
Mohammed
Distributed at 00:26:34 on Thursday, 17 April 1997

This is a Modest proposal.

Create a new rule, reading:  "{{ Ownership of each entity currently 
being rented is transferred from the entity's current owner to the player 
or organization renting the entity. }}"

Repeal Rule 513 ("Rental").

Amend Rule 256 ("Leaving the Game") by removing section 3 and by 
renumbering sections 4-9 to 3-8 respectively.

[--The rather bizarre language being killed is:

3) The rental period for any rented entities in his possession ends. 
[They return to their true owners.) If there exist any entities being
rented from him, such entities are no longer considered rented; the 
rental period for such entities does not end, but simply cease to exist;
their current possessors become their owners in fact. ]

This is a fairly modest proposal

Amend rule 1060 by replacing the following text

"
5. Any member of the Narfalone Family can attempt to overthrow the
Godfather by publicly stating eir intention to do so. This does not
constitute an admittance of membership in the Narfalone Family. If
2/3rds of the members of The Narfalone Family publicly acknowledge
the challenger within one week, e shall become the new Godfather.
Publicly acknowledging the challenger does not entail admittance of
membership in the Narfalone Family.

Godfather knows who the members are]. This rule takes precedence over
rule 408 [normally Count Tabula would count the votes].
