Subject: Acka: Proposal 2664

Proposal 2664
FM tweak
Vynd (John McCoy)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Amend Rule 594 by replacing "initially created by a Proposal." in section
i) with:

part of the initial Ruleset, or initially created by a Proposal.

{{[This should cut down on the number of rejections dramatically, without
increasing the possibility of scams]}}

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2665

Proposal 2665
My favorite first Rule I created needs fixing
Vynd (John McCoy)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Amend Rule 1320 by deleting ", or the player who would win is for some
reason ineligible to win the cycle," from the third sentence of the third
paragraph.  Then add the following text immediately after the first
occurance of the phrase "The Round Earth Restoration Society" in the third
paragraph:

that is both eligible to and capable of winning the Cycle

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2666

Proposal 2666
Possibilities, Please
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

Append the following text to Rule 721, immediately preceded by the lowest
roman numeral not already in the rule:
"Farcical Hat Creation
 Creating an Agenda Condition which is impossible to achieve under the
current ruleset is Annoying."

{{[If it turns out that Rule 340 prevents me from winning, then someone
created an unachievable Agenda Hat, and the Illuminatus let it through.
Something is wrong with that.]}}

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2667

Proposal 2667
Gimme Repeal
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

{{Each player who owns a Gimme Shelter receives A$105.}}

{{All Gimme Shelters are destroyed.}}

Repeal Rule 594.12.

{{[Gimme Shelters are redundant, because people can build towers to
shelter themselves if they want.  To avoid owners of Gimme Shelters being
left out, they each receive enough money in compensation to build a 35m
tower]}}

From: Brian Raiter <[email-masked]>
Subject: Acka: Proposal 2668

Proposal 2668
Modify Monolith
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Amend Rule 855, "Monolith" by replacing A$100 with A$50 throughout, and
replacing "one level" in section 5 with "two levels".

{{Players who have added at least one level to the Monolith receive A$50,
if the highest level they have added is below level 7, and A$100 if they
created level 7 or 8.}}

{{Slakko loses 2 points.  Fortunato gains 2 points.}}

{{[The money is compensation for the price drop.  The prices of the
Monolith are very expensive in terms of getting Boons and Bonus Votes.  It
really only has a purpose for Agenda Hats these days, and for sheltering.
The sheltering has been fixed in accordance with the prices]}}

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2669

Proposal 2669
The Magic Lariat
Fortunato (Aaron Keesler)

{{[This is my 'add something to GAD' proposal]}}

Amend Rule 1213 (Grab-A-Donkey) in the following manner:

Alter the following paragraph (delimited by ")
"
One (1) donkey per player 
One lariat per player (used to Grab other donkeys) 
One (1) blanket (used to Cover the player's own donkey) 
"

To be the following (delimited by ")
"
One (1) donkey per player
One (1) lariat for every player less one (used to Grab other donkeys)
One (1) blanket (used to Cover the player's own donkey)
One (1) Magic Lariat
"

Add the following to the end of Section A (delimited by ")
"
The Wrangler will then choose a member of the GAL at random, and give em
the Magic Lariat.
"

Add the following to Section B (delimited by ")
"
e) Use their Magic Lariat.  This is equivalent to actions a) and b).
After the Magic Lariat is used, it becomes a normal lariat, and the
player is so exhausted after its use that e must Cover eir donkey for
the next two rounds.
"

Add the following to the end of Section C (delimited by ")
"
If the donkey of the player holding the Magic Lariat is Grabbed, and the
Magic Lariat has not yet been used, the player who Grabbed the donkey
will also Grab the Magic Lariat.
"
