Proposal 2433
I just don't have the heart
Malenkai (Randy Hall)

This is a Modest proposal

{{[this conditional proposal will only have effect if
proposal 2411, which creates a list of conventions, is accepted]}}

- ---------------------------------------------------------------

Amend rule 340, if and only if its title is "Conventions", to
append the following text to the end of the rule:

"
VI.  Whenever division is performed in Ackanomic, and the
denomonator of that division evaluates to 0, then the result of
that entire division shall be 0.  {{[this takes precedence over reality :)]}}
"

Proposal 2434
Practice Voodoo Economics
Alfvaen (Aaron Humphrey)

This is a Modest proposal.

Amend Rule 505, "Treasury and AckaDollars", to replace the text "75,000"
with "100,000".

Proposal 2435
Sisters Fall Out
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

{{[This is designed to create a sort of prisoner's dilemma kind of
situation.  Each player will have the opportunity to shut down the bonus
point scoring, but will have to take a cut in their bonus score to do so.
At what point does someone organize the reconciliation to prevent other
people getting points in future?]}}

Amend rule 909 by appending the following FRIENDS-delimited text:
FRIENDS
Phoebe is still suffering from a falling out with her twin sister Ursula, 
who lives inside the Machine that Goes *ping*. If Phoebe's wisdom, as  
posted by a player, includes an attempt to vilify Ursula, then that player 
will be awarded 2 points in addition to those earned for posting the
wisdom.  If, on the other hand, a player posts Phoebe's wisdom which 
includes the details of a reconciliation with Ursula, then that player
will not be eligible for the 2 point bonus for vilification, and will only
gain 4 points rather than 6 for posting Phoebe's wisdom.  However, a
Trinket will be created in eir possession, titled "Fleas Shaking Hands
#n", where n is the smallest cardinal number necessary to avoid a naming
conflict, valued at A$2, and with the description "Phoebe and Ursula
reconciling, cast in pewter".
If someone ever receives "Fleas Shaking Hands #n", for any cardinal
number n, as a result of the application of the preceding paragraph, then
that paragraph will be repealed, and this paragraph will then repeal
itself.
FRIENDS
