Subject: Acka:  Proposal 2186

Proposal 2186
More More Less Work
Malenkai

This is a Modest proposal.

Amend rule 217, "Overturning Judgements", to remove the following text:

"
In the event that the judges have not returned a verdict within one
week, the judges shall be fined A$2 each, for each additional day beyond
one week until a verdict is given. In the event that a majority of
the justices are vacationing, the one week timer shall start as soon
as a majority of justices have returned.
"

{{[the amount of money in question is trivial, and the Justices put
forth a good faith effort to deliver a well-reasoned verdict as 
quickly as possible.  If there is some sort of scam that requires the
Justices to sit on an appeal, the current ones can do so for over 
250 days without going broke.  Impeachment is the answer with or
without the A$2 penalty in these cases.  In otherwords, another 
low fun/work ratio thing to track]}}

Proposal 2187
Dealing with Dealing with the Paranormal
Malenkai

This is a Modest proposal.

{{[this does two things.  One, standardizes the 10 day periods to weeklong
periods, which are easier to track and remember, and it takes out the
24 hour volunteer period, which causes the rule to be two things to
remember for little added value.  Now the Krykec can be selected at
the same time as the paranormal event, thus keeping the essential 
functionality of the rule while making it easier to harf]}}

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

Amend rule 1118, "Dealing with the Paranormal", as follows:

I. Replace:

"
      If a non-player entity makes use of a Paranormal Power, then the
W-File Pair will investigate the incident. The first player to volunteer
within 24 hours will be assigned to help them, otherwise one player will
be randomly assigned by the officer in charge of random things, to be 
called Krykec for the purposes of this rule. 
"

with:

"
      If a non-player entity makes use of a Paranormal Power, then the
W-File Pair will investigate the incident. In this case, a player, to be
called Krykec for the purposes of this rule, will be randomly selected
to assist in this investigation.
"
 
II. Replace all occurrances of "10" with "seven" where it appears in
the fourth paragraph of the rule.
