Proposal 2331
Watch out for that Wormhole!
Malenkai (Randy Hall)

This is a Modest proposal.  

{{[lets start removing gizz from the rules that has an
unfavorable fun/hassle ratio.  (And before anyone else
points it out, I am aware that the hassle figure is 
low ... ;-)]}}

- ---

Repeal Rule 1131, "The Sinister Alien Abduction Act"
Repeal Rule 1132, "Alien Abductions of Players"

- ---

Amend Rule 511, "Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die" to remove
the following string of text:

"
The Aliens abduct a rule with number identical to that of a Majik's 
sapphire bullet number. 3.
"

- ---

Amend rule 910, "The Ackanomicon", to remove:

"
Visitation (1 page): This page summons Aliens down to Acka. The
Aliens will immediately conduct a raid on the ruleset as if the Magic
Potatoe had just been distributed, as described in Rule 1131. This 
is considered a use of a Paranormal Power by the reading player.
"

Proposal 2332
T8V 2X9
Alfvaen (Aaron Humphrey)

This is a Modest proposal.

Amend Rule 422,"Postmaster", as follows:

Replace the following text(delimited by 4R8):

4R8

   A message is a public message if and only if it is distributed to all
   non-vacationing Players or it is sent to any mailing list indicated as
   a public forum in the Postal Code, and any actions performed in the
   message obey all restrictions in the Postal Code for that list, and
   the subject line contains either "Ackanomic:" or "Acka:". For the
   purposes of this paragraph and the restrictions in the Postal Code, an
   action is a statement that the player is doing something regulated by
   the rules, or a public post required by the rules. [Only actions are
   regulated; discussion can take place anywhere, though players should
   try to post to appropriate lists.]

4R8
   
with the following text(delimited by T6K):

T6K

   A message is a public message if and only if it is distributed to all
   non-vacationing Players or it is sent to any mailing list indicated
   as a public forum in the Postal Code, and any actions performed in
   the message obey all restrictions in the Postal Code for that list.
   For the purposes of this paragraph and the restrictions in the Postal
   Code, an action is a statement that the player is doing something
   regulated by the rules, or a public post required by the rules. [Only
   actions are regulated; discussion can take place anywhere, though
   players should try to post to appropriate lists.]

   It is highly encouraged that the subject line of public messages
   contain either "Ackanomic:" or "Acka:"; if a player posts a public
   message which does not, then the Postmaster may declare em to have
   Gone Postal.  A player who has Gone Postal is treated as if e is
   Hosed(as by the BWG Laser)for one day; this period is extended by
   another day for each additional message lacking the abovementioned
   headers that is posted while e is Postal.
