> This, Too, Shall Pass
> Guy Fawkes (Robert Shimmin)
> 
> In Rule 303, Section I, replace, "A valid rule number is one or two 
> positive integers." with "A valid rule number is one or two integers."
> 
> Create a new Rule, numbered 0, entitled "The Scissors of Damocles" with 
> text as follows, delimited by SNIP.
> 
> SNIP
> 
> {{Repeal Rule 2304, if it exists.
> 
> If Rule 555 exists, renumber it to 1}}.
> 
> Should the Official Meaning of Garboodly ever be, "taking precedence over 
> all other Rules," the following procedure shall take place, the steps 
> occurring in the order in which they appear in this Rule.
> 
> 1.  The last paragraph of Rule 1 is amended to read in full,  
> "Should Rule 0 ever repeal itself, Rule 303, Section I, shall be 
> amended by changing "one or two integers" to "one or two positive 
> integers".  This paragraph shall then be deleted."
> 2.  Rule -1 is repealed.
> 3.  This Rule repeals itself.
> 
> This rule is Garboodly.  Until such time as a Nonsense Words Commission 
> shall establish an Official Meaning for Garboodly, it shall mean, "taking 
> precedence over all Rules except Rule 1."
> 
> 
> SNIP
> 
> Create a new Rule, numbered -1, entitled "Nonsense Words Commission" with 
> text as follows, delimited by HOOPY.

> HOOPY
> 
> A Nonsense Words Commission is a Type of Hearing.  One occurs whenever a 
> Rule calls for a Nonsense Words Commission, specifying the word that it 
> is being called with respect to, and two or more potential Official 
> Meanings for that word.
> 
> The valid responses to a Nonsense Words Commission are the potential 
> Offical Meanings specified by the Rule calling for it.  [For example, if 
> a Rule called for a Nonsense Words Commission with respect to the word 
> Jillynubly, giving "purple" and "a rare species of Australian hedgehog" 
> as potential Official Meanings, the valid responses in the Hearing would 
> be "purple" and "a rare species of Australain hedgehog"].
> 
> Due to the serious nature of Nonsense Words Commissions, no votes cast by 
> entities other than playes shall count in determining the verdict of the 
> Nonsense Words Commission.
> 
> If the verdict of a Nonsense Words Commission is anything other than 
> "Never mind," the verdict shall become the Official Meaning of the word 
> the Nonsense Words Commission was called with respect to, replacing 
> whatever Official Meaning that word might already have, should it already 
> have one.
> 
> An Official Meaning is not a Rule, nor part of any Rule.  It is instead 
> an explicit part of currently accepted game custom, determining how the 
> word it is the Official Meaning of should be interpeted when it appears 
> in the Rules.
> 
> Upon the addition of this Rule to the Ruleset, a Nonsense Words 
> Commission shall be called with respect to the word "Garboodly."  The 
> potential Official Meanings, and hence the valid responses to this 
> Nonsense Words Commission, are "taking precedence over all other Rules" 
> and "immediately self-repealing."
> 
> This rule is Garboodly.  Until such time as a Nonsense Words Commission 
> shall establish an Official Meaning for Garboodly, it shall mean, "taking 
> precedence over all Rules except Rule 1."

> HOOPY
