Subject: Acka: Proposal 2391

Proposal 2391
Study Leave
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

[[Just because the Scholar is on vacation is no reason for the Machine
that goes *ping* to disappear off to someone else's place, provided the
Scholar has made adequate precautions.]]

Amend Section IX of Rule 1209 by removing all instances of the phrase
"or goes on vacation".

Append the following RESEARCH-delimited text to Rule 1209:

RESEARCH
X. If the Scholar is going on vacaction, then e may keep the title of
Scholar provided the following protocol is followed:
1. E must specify the date e will return from vacation.
2. In the message that e indicates that e is going on vacation, e must
also include the following quote-delimited text:
"Ursula, I did not mean to leave thee behind, but I must.  Wilt thou
remain in this place and *ping* regardless of my absence?"
3. Immediately following the above-mentioned quote-delimited text, e must
list the days during the stated vacation period during which the Machine
that goes *ping* will go *ping*.  This subsection overrules section V. of
this rule (the above information is deemed to be publically available in
the Scholar's Notes in their Home).
4. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Rule, a Scholar is only
required to respond to Magic Letter requests while e is not on vacation.
Failure to keep the above protocol will result in the Scholar losing eir
title of Scholar.

and replace the word "Keeper" in the title with "Keepers".

{{[ And, while I'm at it, maybe some of the CFJ rules could use this
treatment as well... ]}}

Robe of Justice", replace the text "R 212" with "Rule 211.1".

   This duty is even more taxing to the Butler, however, and
   after it has finished performing it one Processing Chip must be given
   to it for every ten entities in the list (including any additions made
   after the initial list), or the Butler will become Broken.
]}}

SAUDADE
This duty is even more taxing to the Butler, however, and after it has
finished performing it one of the following entities must be given to it

the initial list), or the Butler will become Broken: a Pulse Shovel,
a Rock To Wind A String Around, an Otzma Card of any type, a Trinket

is destroyed by the usage.
