Proposal 1968
Ad Hoc Towers
Niccolo Flychuck

A proposal that has the following effects:

I. Create a new rule entitled "Ad Hoc Comittee on the matter of Skylines"
which contains the following text:
"

An Ad Hoc Committee on the matter of Skylines is empowered to approve or
deny a plan for a public building submitted by a player. 
When a player anounces that e is submitting a plan for a Public building
then that message is considered to be a call for an Ad Hoc Committee on
the Matter of Skylines.

{{This rule renumbers itself to 1081}}

"

II. In R841 "Towers" Ammend section 2 to read in full:
"A player is always said to be 'permitted' to build (or extend) an
Ostentatious Tower associated with them. A player is said to be permitted
to build (or extend) a Public Tower provided they submit a plan to
  an Ad Hoc Committee on the Matter of Skylines, and that Ad Hoc
Commitee votes approval of that plan. Such a plan
must describe a tower that could legally be built (or a legal extension of
an extant Public Tower). The Public Tower so built (or extension
thereof) as a result of this permission must accord with the plan
approved by the Ad Hoc Committee.

"

Ammend Rule 1118/1 as follows:

Add the following text, denoted by $$$ to the end of the third to last
paragraph.

$$$
Any Scientist may exempt himself from the responsiblity of writing this
report himself by publicly posting a message in which he states: "Not it!"
any time within 10 days of the W-File Case being posted, unless he
is the only Scientist remaining who has not posted a "Not it!" message.
If there is only one Scientist remaining who has not declared himself to
be "Not it!" for a particular W-File Case, then that Scientist is now the
only Scientist responsible for writing the refuting report described
above, and must do so within 10 days of the W-File Case to be refuted
being posted, unless another Scientist does so first [out of the goodness 
of his heart, I guess]. If no refuting report is posted by any
Scientist within 10 days of a W-File Case being reported, then all
Scientists who had not exempted themselves from the responsibility of
writing that refuting report will have committed a Crime.
$$$

Delete the second to last paragraph [Yeah, it's kind of cool, but right
now it creates, and has in fact, created, an infinite loop of evil twins
"volunteering."  Let's spread the harf around, eh?]
