Proposal 3117
Nameless Thing #1
Attila the Pun (Micah Smukler)

Create a rule, titled "The Mu-Cow Hunter" and numbered 1395, with the
following ZEN-delimited text:

ZEN

An Active player of Ackanomic exists whose Ackanomic name is The Mu-Cow
Hunter.  The real name of The Mu-Cow Hunter is Larry.  The Mu-Cow Hunter is
not a person, and does not have an e-mail address; this takes precedence
over any rule which requires players to be people or to have e-mail
addresses.

The Mu-Cow Hunter is at all times on the CFJ eligibility list.  If any rule
specifies that a player shall be randomly selected, there shall be a
probability of 0 that The Mu-Cow Hunter is selected; this takes precedence
over the rule entitled "Level Playing Field".  The Mu-Cow Hunter is not
considered to be a player for the purposes of determining quorum.

The Mu-Cow Hunter shall abstain on all proposals, with the exception of the
proposals e submits; e shall vote BAA! on these proposals, if such a vote
exists.

The Mu-Cow Hunter shall submit one and only one proposal on the third day
of every month; e shall submit no proposals on any other day.

The proposal which The Mu-Cow Hunter submits is titled "Mu".  It consists
of the text "The Mu-Cow Hunter gains a Winning Condition upon the passage
of this proposal."

If a proposal submitted by the Mu-Cow passes, e shall upon its passage
submit a CFJ on the statement "The Mu-Cow Hunter has achieved a Winning
Condition on (date).", with (date) replaced by the date at which the latest
proposal sumbitted by the Mu-Cow passed.   The CFJ shall include no
reasoning.

Proposal 3118
I wouldn't .sig to that level
Attila the Pun (Micah Smukler)

Create a rule, numbered 1367, with the following QWERTY-delimited text:

QWERTY

If a player submits a proposal which unintentionally contains any sort
of personal identification, as the result of a failure to indicate the
end of the proposal or for any other reason, this act is known as Being
Extremely Careless, Indeed.

If any player believes that another player has Been Extremely Careless,
Indeed, than e may call a Carelessness Hearing on that other player,
naming the proposal with respect to which that player Was Extremely
Careless, Indeed. A Carelessness Hearing is a Hearing; its Hearing
Harfer is the player who called it, and is known as the Guardian of
Punctiliousness.  The valid responses to a Carelessness Hearing are
"E's more absentminded than the Mad Scientist", "You mean we don't
*want* meaningless text cluttering up the ruleset?", and "BAA!"

At the conclusion of the Hearing, the following events occur, in the
given order:

1) All players who voted "BAA!" on the hearing are burned as witches.
2) If more votes for "E's more absentminded than the Mad Scientist"
than for "You mean we don't *want* meaningless text cluttering
up the ruleset?" were recorded, than the player on whom the
Carelessness Hearing was called must pay a fine equal to the
Standard Harfer Fee to the treasury, gains a Chartreuse Goose Egg,
ceases to be Enlightened, if e is Enlightened, and is said to be
an Amazingly Absentminded Ackanomian.
3) If more votes for "You mean we don't *want* meaningless text
cluttering up the ruleset" than for "E's more absentminded than the
Mad Scientist" were recorded, than the player who called the Hearing
suffers all the consequences listed above, except that e is not said
to be an Amazingly Absentminded Ackanomian.

The above provisions notwithstanding, no player may call a Carelessness
Hearing on an Amazingly Absentminded Ackanomian.

Proposal 3119
Cortex Clarifications
/dev/joe (Joseph DeVincentis)

This is a modest proposal.

Amend rule 217, "Overturning Judgements", as follows:

1. Before the first paragraph, insert the heading
   "I. Sending CFJs to the Supreme Court".

2. Before the fourth paragraph, insert the heading
   "II. How the Supreme Court judges a CFJ".

3. Before the fifth paragraph, insert the heading
   "III. Effects upon a judgement of an appeal by the Supreme Court".

4. Before the ninth paragraph, insert the heading
   "IV. Appeal limits".

5. Delete the eighth paragraph. 
{{[It read: If a case reached the Supreme Court through submission by the
Praetor, a player may still appeal the Court's decision, but the case
shall be treated as if it had already been appealed once.]}}

6. In the last paragraph, change "e.g., a second appeal verdict" to
"e.g., a second appeal verdict, or a verdict on an appeal of a CFJ
originally submitted to the Supreme Court by the Praetor".

7. Delete the first sentence of the last paragraph, and make a new
paragraph containing that sentence between the second and third
paragraphs.

Amend rule 416, "Supreme Court", as follows:

1. Before the first four paragraphs, insert the following four
double-quote-delimited headings, respectively:
"I. Becoming a Justice"
"II. Justice Eligibility"
"III. Filling in when there are fewer than two Justices"
"IV. Filling in for Vacationing Justices"

2. Then move the last paragraph to the end of section III.

Amend Rule 417, "Justices Rock", by removing the text "Justices Rock" that
appears at the beginning of the body of the rule.

Amend Rule 425, "Praetor", by deleting section II and renumbering each
later section to the roman numeral one less than it is currently
numbered.  [This is the one which used to define how to supply Acting
Justices for Vacationing Justices, supplanted by what I am calling
section IV of R416.]

Amend Rule 421.2, "Common Sense Reports", by appending the following text
(delimited by URSULA) to the first paragraph:

URSULA
However, if it is possible for a player to issue two CSR's of different
kinds(i.e. which affect different sets of Rules, or make different sorts
of changes), then a single CSR which includes both kinds of changes is
also legal; this takes precedence over any Rule which may otherwise
restrict issuing of CSR's by that player.  (Thus, a player who is both
Chess-Umpire and RuneMaker may issue a single CSR which affects both
the Party Chess Rule Suite and the Otzma Card Rule Suite.)

Proposal 3122
Not that we use them very often, but...
Vynd (John McCoy)

{{[Currently the rules on AOJs require that the entire Supreme Court agree
on a use of their special powers.  This could be difficult to accomplish
now that the Supreme Court has so many members.  The proposed amendment
would allow a group made of any 2/3rds of the Supreme Court to author
AOJs.]}}

In Rule 417 Justices Rock, make the following VOLTRON delimited changes:

VOLTRON

1. Delete the paragraph begining "The players that are also Justices" and
replace it with:

Justices have the following special powers:

2. Delete the paragraph begining "The decision must be made public" and
replace it with:

Justices may only use these special powers as a group.  If 2/3rds of the
members of the Supreme Court, or all of the members of the Supreme Court
if there are fewer than 4 members, agree to, they may issue an Act of
Justice (AOJ), of which they are considered to be the authors.  An AOJ is
a public statement by the Justices authoring it, in which they state what
decision is being nullified, an explanation as to why, and the names of
its authors.  Once made public, the AOJ goes into effect and cannot be
overturned except by another AOJ, or by a CFJ or CFCJ that shows that it
was not issued in accordance with the rules.

Proposal 3123
How Can a Cubical World End?
Slakko (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

[If the CEIS achieves its goals, the world will be rendered cubical, and
the method by which it could become round will cease to exist.  Yet Rule
1320 would survive, and all it does is detail what happens when the world
Ends as described in Rule 1319.  It should disappear too.]

Amend Rule 1319.2 by replacing the quoted text
"This Rule, as well as Rule 1319 and 1319.1(the RERS and FEPS rules),
shall be repealed then"

with the quoted text
"This Rule, as well as Rules 1319, 1319.1 and 1320 [the RERS, FEPS and 
End of the World rules], shall be repealed then"

[There are also some inconsistencies in Rule 1320 - it causes the cycle to
immediately end, but Rule 600 overrules it on the matter of allowing a
player to win that cycle - all it does is establish a winning condition.
So we would have a cycle end without a winner, a torturous state of
affairs.]

Amend Rule 1320 by replacing the third paragraph with the following
COMPLIANT-delimited text:

COMPLIANT
The End of the World results in a cataclysmic eruption of harf, in which
one player becomes the Prophet of Doom. This player will be the active or
vacationing player who had donated the most A$ to The Round Earth
Restoration Society that is capable of winning a Cycle at the time that
the Earth was made round. If this selection method results in a tie, then
the player who most recently became Enlightened out of those players who
are tied will become the Prophet of Doom. If none of the players who are
tied for most A$ donated to The Round Earth Society are Enlightened, then
the Speaker will randomly select with equal probability one of the players
who are tied to become the Prophet of Doom.  Whenever this Rule causes
a player to be selected to become the Prophet of Doom, that player will
achieve a Winning Condition.  The Prophet of Doom must then
challenge the True Prophet to a duel as soon as it is possible to do so. 
COMPLIANT
