Subject: Acka: Proposal 2860

Proposal 2860
We've Created a Monster!
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

[The Winning Condition language in Rule 600 does not have sufficient
precedence to override the win a Cycle terminology in Rule 597 - so
someone could still gain an immediate win via the Angry Villager method,
unlikely as it is.  This just changes that language into Winning Condition
form so that an Angry Villager has to go through a Cycle Win CFJ just like
anyone else.]

Amend Rule 597 by replacing all instances of "win the current cycle" with
"achieve a Winning Condition".

[And to be on the safe side to ensure it doesn't happen again:]

Append the following COVER-delimited text to Rule 600:

COVER
This rule takes precedence over all rules which mention winning a cycle
where there is a conflict.
COVER

Proposal 2861
Another Crime Bites the Dust
The Gingham Wearer (Tom Walmsley)

This is a modest proposal.

Repeal rule 719 (Zuriti'ili).

{{Subtract 2 points from The Gingham Wearer's score. Add 2 points to
ThinMan's score [It was his idea. :-)]}}

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2862

Proposal 2862
Let Crime go Unpunished
The Gingham Wearer (Tom Walmsley)

This is a modest proposal.

Repeal rule 705 (Caped Crusader).
Repeal rule 947 (The Chartreuse Cape)

{{[This has caused a few problems with the Caped Crusader filing CFCJs when
they aren't needed. If one is needed (and quite often when one isn't) someone
will pay for it. See CFCJs 159 and 148 for more on this.]}}

Subject: Acka: Proposal 2863

Proposal 2863
Just for a laugh
The Gingham Wearer (Tom Walmsley)

This is a modest proposal.

Add the following to the literature list:

"Work: The Rules of Ackanomic; including all rule suites (only the current
version)"

{{[Self Referential? Not really. I'm just curious as to how far the potato
paradox will extend, will you be able to get points for quoting the rules of
Ackanomic when you are in fact changing them? Oh, and I promise this isn't
intended as a scam or fodder for a PWCFJ, I just thought it would be fun.]}}
