Proposal 2185
Repeal Default Votes
Mohammed
Distributed at 15:06:14 on Sunday, 29 June 1997

[I read something a while back that noted that certain UNIX commands,
such as fsck, have options -y and -n that supposedly allow them to run
without a human actually there reading each question and answering
'yes' or 'no' intelligently.  "fsck -y" is the same as invoking fsck
normally and answering 'yes' to all the questions without reading
them.  Likewise, -n indicates 'no to all'.

The point was, that answering YES to all questions is too dangerous to
be of any use ("Reformatting operator's brain.  Continue?"); and
answering NO to all questions is almost always far too paranoid.
There's no substitute (yet) for human judgement.

I think this applies to proposals and voting as well.  Voting YES or
NO by default is foolish or cynical at best, and voting PRESENT by
default is unlikely ever to have any effect at all, except to dodge
quorum.  (We might as well just repeal quorum.)

This kills default votes but not proxy votes.  Only one player has a
default vote (it is PRESENT).]

1.  All players who have default votes are stripped of their default
votes.

2.  The following shall be removed from Rule 106 (Voting on Proposals):

```

A Voting Player may specify a default vote, provided that they have no
Proxy. To do this, a Voting Player must send a message to the
Tabulator stating what their default vote will be. Their options are
YES, NO, and PRESENT. A Voting Player may cease to have a default vote
by sending a message to the Tabulator stating that they no longer want
a default vote.
'''

3.  In Rule 106 (Voting on Proposals), this:

```
At the instant before the end of the voting period of a proposal
(hereafter referred to as Proposal A), if any Voting Player has
specified a default vote, or if any Voting Player has a Proxy, then
the following sequence of events takes place in the instant prior to
the end of the voting period of Proposal A(delimited by ~):

~
1. All Voting Players that have specified default votes, AND have
not already cast a vote on Proposal A, will cast a vote on Proposal A
corresponding to the default vote they have specified. (ie if a
player's default vote is PRESENT, and they haven't already voted on
the proposal, they will cast a present vote on it)

2. All Voting Players that have not cast a vote on Proposal A, and
have a Proxy, will cast a vote identical to the vote cast by their
Proxy (if their Proxy cast a vote) on Proposal A. If a player's Proxy
has abstained, than that player will cast a PRESENT vote on Proposal
A.
~
'''

shall be replaced with this:

```
At the instant before the end of the voting period of a proposal, all
Voting Players that have not cast a vote on the proposal, and have a
Proxy, will cast a vote identical to the vote cast by their Proxy (if
their Proxy cast a vote) on the proposal.  If a player's Proxy has
abstained, then that player will cast a PRESENT vote on the proposal.

Proposal 2184
I said what?
Vynd
Distributed at 09:59:44 on Sunday, 29 June 1997

This is a Modest Proposal

{{[Some minor fixes to dumb things I've said in my proposals.]}}

Ammend Rule 910 The Ackanomicon by removing the sentence "Reading this
page is considered a use of a Paranormal Power by the reading Player."
from the the end of the paragraph begining "Mutation".

{{[The whole point of the page is to give the player a psi power, but
scold and Mold would then immediately use alien sedatives to take it away
again.]}}

Further ammend Rule 910 The Ackanomicon by adding the following to the end
of the rule:

Not so Forbidden Fruit (4 pages): The player has an out of body experience
in which he is transported to an primordial jungle where he is worshiped
as a god by the natives.  Upon waking up, he will find that all he has
left to remember it by is an Amber Banana.

Ancient One (1 page):  The player warps time and space with a terrifying
incantation of power, summoning the Ancient Powers into his presence.  The
Chartruse Goose is immediately transfered into his possesion, and it's not
happy.  If the reading player was already in possesion of the Chartruse
Goose, then it goes Somewhere Else (and is REALLY not happy).

{{[Sorry, had to do it.]}}

Ammend Rule 1320 This is the way the world ends by adding the following as
a seperate paragraph at the end of the Rule:

This Rule takes precedence over any other Rule discussing the End of the
World, or the singing of the Fat Lady.

{{[Otherwise, she wouldn't be singing R.E.M. like she's supposed to.  =(
And now one I didn't write.]}}

Ammend Rule 1319 Round Earth Restoration Society by deleting the following
text from the second paragraph:

The first player to make such a contribution becomes Chairman of the
Round Earth Restoration Society, and it is his duty to keep track of how
much money has been transfered to the Treasury on the Society's behalf.
Should the player ever go on vacation or leave the game, the next player
to contribute shall take over the title and duty.

And replace it with the following:

It is a duty of the Financier to keep track of how much money has been
donated to the Treasury on behalf of the Society, and by whom.

{{[The old system takes something that is really quite easy to keep track
of, and brings in the possibilities of all kinds of problems when the
Chairman-ship changes hands, much like the now corrected problem of the
Mad Scientist having to track all parts ever submited for a Monster,
accepted or not...]}}

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.

called Krykec for the purposes of this rule, will be randomly selected

II. Replace all occurrances of "10" with "seven" where it appears in
the fourth paragraph of the rule.

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

[I found the word zuriti'ili in an ancient Tome of Law I discovered in
the Library the other day.  The rest of the page was so faded that I
couldn't really make out the context, but it was clear that the
Ancients considered zuriti'ili the most heinous of crimes, an immense
danger to society, immoral, sacrilegious, and unfashionable (except in
certain, *very* perverse circles.)  I don't know what it is exactly,
but if the ancients held it in such ill repute, then it is my duty as
President and as a responsible citizen to bring about the absolute ban
of this reprehensible and nightmarish act in the still-young-
and-quite-impressionable democracy of Ackanomia.]

Rule 719, titled "Zuriti'ili", is created, reading:

```

Zuriti'ili is a Crime.

As it is not yet entirely clear what constitutes the heinous Crime of
Zuriti'ili, the judge of a CFCJ alleging that such a Crime has
occurred is granted an unusual amount of latitude in setting forth a
verdict.  He or she is encouraged to research ancient tomes before
reaching a decision, and in presenting the verdict may set forth a
single guideline relevant to the current case, to aid future judges in
similar situations.  Naturally, the guideline may not conflict with
the existing guidelines and other rules, and it must agree with the
verdict itself (otherwise it is ignored for the purposes of this
rule.)

[Recommended guidelines are of forms like "Xxxx does not constitute
Zuriti'ili," or "It is possible for an act of Zuriti'ili to involve
xxxx."  To stretch the fun, they should be broad and vague so that the
definition of Zuriri'ili sharpens slowly over time.]

On appeal, this guideline may be upheld (if the verdict is upheld) or
overturned and possibly replaced with another guideline (even if the
verdict itself is upheld) as long as the resulting guideline and
verdict agree with one another and with the rules.  When it becomes
illegal to appeal a Zuriti'ili CFCJ further, any guideline from that
CFCJ that was not overturned on appeal is added to the list of
guidelines below.

{{[Note that we're sort of counting on the Supreme Court to strike
down un-fun or scammy "guidelines".  I think this is safe because we
can impeach one or both Justices before the three allowed appeals run
out.  But if it's still shaky, speak up and I'll retract/resubmit.]}}

Guidelines:

. At least once in the history of Ackanomic, a player has committed
Zuriti'ili.

. Zuriti'ili may be related to one or more entities that can be owned.

Mad Scientist is not considered a Scientist, for the purposes of this
Rule alone; this takes precedence over any other Rule which may state
or imply that e is."

Proposal 2215
IMHO IAC, OTOH ICBW
Mr. Lunatic Fringe

It is illegal to send a public message containing three or more  phrase
acronyms (Acronyms who'se only purpose is to shorten an overused or cliched
phrase [IMHO, IAC, OTOH, ICOCBW, etcetera]).

A player who commits this act is guilty of the crime of "Babble".  If a
player commits the crime of babble twice within a month, he is guilty of
the crime  of "Unremourseful Double Babble"

Text of accepted proposal:

Proposal 2196
The condition my condition is in.
two-star
Distributed at 21:45:54 on Monday, 30 June 1997

This is a modest proposal.

Amend rule 104 by replacing the sentence, "(Ambiguous, conditional, 
retroactive, and/or meaningless effects are ignored.)" with the 
sentence, "(Ambiguous, retroactive, and/or meaningless effects are 
ignored.)"

[Here's the context for everyone's convenience:

If a proposal is accepted, one of two things happen. If the proposal 
consisted of a list of one-time effects, such as changes to the rules, 
then those effects shall be applied, one at a time, in the order in 
which they appear in the proposal. (Ambiguous, conditional, retroactive, 
and/or meaningless effects are ignored.)]

{{Malenkai gains 1 point}}

{{two-star is ambushed by Thargoids, loses one point, and all his gaol 
house rock shovels are converted into pulse shovels.}}
