Proposal 2886
Enough Bickering
/dev/joe (Joseph DeVincentis)

This is a modest proposal.

Amend R1009 by changing "Theu may not own any other type of Entity." to
"A Political Party may not offer or accept trades in which it would
recieve any other kind of entity, but may trade away anything it owns."

Amend R1013 by changing the second paragraph from:
"An Organization may, as an action, use any Secret Laboratory it owns to
build a Gadget from any existing Qualified Blueprint. This new Gadget is
created in the Organization's possession three days after this action is
announced. Each Secret Laboratory may be used to build a gadget at most
once each calendar month."

to:
"An Organization may, as an action, use any Secret Laboratory it owns to
build a Gadget from any existing Qualified Blueprint in the possession of
a player who is one of its members, who must be named when the action is
declared.  Three days after the action is announced, if the player is still
a member of the organization, the Gadget is created in that player's
possession.  Each Secret Laboratory may be used to build a Gadget at most
once each calendar month."
