Proposal 2650
Self-Defence
K 2 (Kelly Kelly)

This is a Modest Proposal.

{{[ It seems that when a CFCJ is filed against a player they have no
official method to go on record and respond to the allegations. The
following allows them to append reasoning relevant to the case to the
CFCJ document ]}}

Add the following DEFENCE delimited text to rule 710, between sections 5
and 6, and renumber the sections that follow, appropriately:

DEFENCE
6) Before the result of a CFCJ is made public the player who is alleged
to have committed a crime may add their own reasoning and claims of
mitigating circumstance to the official publication of the result by
sending it either to the person in charge of CFCJs, or to the public
forum.

Proposal 2651
Frankenstein Feedback
K 2 (Kelly Kelly)

This is a Modest Proposal.

{{[ I noticed that submissions for Valaraukar seemed to be plagued with
invalid parts. This proposal will allow the Mad Scientist to reveal to
the submitting player, if a part is invalid (included in a previous
monster, from a non-proposal rule, etc.) and allow the player to submit
a valid part ]}}

Amend the following paragraph
Any voting player (including the Mad Scientist) has the option of
digging up and delivering a Frankenstein Part to the Mad Scientist, once
per calendar week.

to read:
Any voting player (including the Mad Scientist) has the option of
digging up and delivering one valid Frankenstein Part to the Mad
Scientist, once per calendar week.

Insert the following paragraph after section iv) of Rule 597 :
v) Upon receipt of a Frankenstein Part (weather valid or invalid), The
Mad Scientist may inform the player who submitted the part weather it
was a valid Frankenstein Part or not.

Proposal 2652
Duel Restart
K 2 (Kelly Kelly)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Append to rule 1215 the following section :

l.    If both the Chalenger and the Challenged players publically agree
that the Game or Contest being used for a Duel has been fatally
compromised [for instane by a third party revealing the finctionary
definition or an error in the Game's rules], a new Game or Contest may
be selected, and the Duel is restarted.

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2653

Proposal 2653
Slander
K 2 (Kelly Kelly)

Create a rule entitled Slander

If a player has a CFCJ submitted against them and the final verdict,
after appeals are no longer possible, is False, that player is said to
be Vindicated for the next 3 days, while the author of the CFCJ is
called a Mud Slinger.

A Vindicated player may call a Mud Wrestling Match against the author of
the CFCJ by specifying the CFCJ (on which they were Vindicated) and its
author.

A Mud Wrestling Match is a hearing for which the Vindicated player is
the hearing harfer.

The valid responses to a Mud Wrestling Match are "That mud's going to
stick" and "It'll wash off"

In the event of a verdict "That mud's going to stick" the Mud Slinger is
punished in the same manner e recommended for the victim or for 2 days
in gaol, if no punishment was recommended.

If the verdict is "It'll wash off" the victim must describe the Mud
Wrestling Match and is sent to goal for 2 days.

Proposal 2654
Prolix Propositions
K 2 (Kelly Kelly)

This is a Modest Proposal.

If a player submits a proposal which fulfills the following requirements,
then the proposal is a Prolix Proposition: 

a) The proposal contains the furniture: "Warning Contains: <word>", were
<word> is a word, contained in the official dictionary, which is not in the
current rule set. 
b) <word> is used in the body of the proposal such that it is not contained
in quotation marks, square brackets or double curly brackets and will
become part of an existing or new rule. [ In other words it must be/become
part of a functional sentence within a rule ] 
c) The player has not previously submitted a Prolix Proposition, that has
been accepted, within the current calender month.

Whenever a Prolix Proposition is accepted, the player who submitted it
shall gain one extra point for enriching Acka (in addition to any other
points that they would gain as a result of the proposal's acceptance).
