Proposal 2176
Volunteers For Science
/dev/joe
Distributed at 23:37:21 on Friday, 27 June 1997

{{[ Here is how I think the literature should work. ]}}

Create a new rule, numbered 1132, titled "Alien Abductions of Players"

Within 3 days after a rule is abducted by Sinister Aliens, any player may
make a call for Alien Volunteers by announcing publicly "There has been a
spacecraft sighted, flying high above the sky." [They Might Be Giants,
"For Science", 1st verse]

After such a call, players may volunteer to meet the aliens by posting
publicly "Yes, I will kiss the girl from Venus, for science."
[They Might Be Giants, "For Science", 3rd verse] until either 3 days
have elapsed or there are 3 such volunteers, whichever comes first.

However, at any time before this procedure ends, any player may announce
"Now listen all you swingers, don't you try to tag along." [They Might
Be Giants, "Absolutely Bill's Mood", line 12]  After a player does so, no
additional Swingers may volunteer in the above manner for that abduction,
though any Swingers who have already volunteered are not affected and
non-Swingers may continue to volunteer.

When the aliens return the rule whose abduction prompted the call for
Alien Volunteers, if there are any volunteers, one is selected at random
to be abducted in the Aliens' spaceship (in addition to any rule that
might be abducted).  Within 3 days of being abducted, the abducted
volunteer should announce the spaceship launch together with the name
of a moon; the player is then transported to that moon.  If he fails to
do so within this time, he is found to be left behind by the Aliens in
a far-off field in the Wilds of Ackanomia.  [You didn't think they landed
in the middle of downtown, did you?]

Modify Rule 666, "End of Cycle", as follows:

Reletter clauses k)-o) as l)-p), respectively.

Insert the text below(delimited by BIG)as a new clause k):

BIG

k) If the cycle was won by points, then amend Rule 603 to change the
base value of the Magic Number to the smallest prime number greater
than (the current Magic Number*1.2).  If the last two cycles were not
won by points, then amend Rule 603 to change the base value of the
Magic Number to the smallest prime number greater than (the current
Magic Number*0.9).  Reset the Magic Number to the base Magic Number.
