> 
> {{[ Building prices are ridiculously high. Either we don't want entities to
> purchase those buildings or they should cost less. New Cost = (No
> Kaa*10)^2/2. At least now after someone has won by museum e can save up and
> buy an Extravagant building. Additionally, Headquarters are introduced and
> the building rules are consolidated.]}}
> 
> Amend Rule 839 (Buildings) to read in full (BABEL Delimited):
> BABEL
> I. Definition
> i) Buildings are a class of named tradeable entity.
> ii) Each type of building has the following land requirements and
> construction costs:
> Size        Land Construction
> Small       1    A$50
> Cosy        2    A$200
> Classy      3    A$450
> Lavish      4    A$800
> Sumptuous   5    A$1250
> Extravagant 12   A$7200
> 
> iii) Buildings may have a description.
> iv) A Building is either Attached, Tethered or Floating and may only change
> between these states as described in the rules. A building is in which ever
> state it was most recently placed in by the rules. If a building is
> reattached it becomes Attached.
> v) Attached and Tethered buildings are said to occupy the number of kaa
> required for eir size (as stated above). Floating buildings occupy no land.
> 
> {{All buildings which are dangling by eir emergency tethers become
> Tethered. All buildings which are floating free become Floating. All
> buildings which did not change state as a result of the previous two
> sentences become Attached.}}
> 
> II. Construction
> i) Provided that e owns enough unoccupied land to accommodate the new
> building, an entity may construct a building by paying the appropriate fee,
> as a public action, at which time an Attached building is created in eir
> possession.
> ii) An entity may increase the size of a building e owns by paying the
> difference in the construction costs between its current size and its
> intended size, provided that e owns sufficient unoccupied land to
> accommodate the extra land the building will take up. Extravagant buildings
> cannot be upgraded
> iii) The land occupied by an Attached building always forms a contiguous
> block unless the rule permit otherwise for a particular building.
> 
> III. Real Estate Act 1842
> i) An action which would cause a building and the land to which that
> building is attached to belong to more than one entity is impossible. This
> section has precedence over any rule which would allow such a action.
> ii) Buildings which are unowned are destroyed unless they are defined in
> the rules.
> iii) A building which occupies a group of kaa which is not wholly owned by
> the owner of the building starts Floating.
> iv) Only one Building (except for towers) may exist on any given kaa of
> land.
> v) Regardless of ownership, land and the buildings that reside on it are
> not considered to be in the treasury.
> 
> IV. Description
> i) The owner of a building may change its name or description as a public
> action provided e unambiguously identifies the affected building. Giving a
> description of the house which is not in accord with the rules is the Crime
> of Acting Like a Realtor.
> ii) A player may designate a single building e owns as eir home. A building
> designated as a player's home is a Common Location that may only be entered
> with the permission of its owner.
> iii) An organisation may designate a single building it owns as its
> Headquarters. A building designated as an organisation's Headquarters is a
> Common Location that may only be entered by member's of that organisation.
> 
> V. Destruction
> i) The entity which owns a building may destroy it as a public action.
> ii) When a building is destroyed any towers attached to it are also
> destroyed.
> iii) If a building is destroyed its owner receives 10% of its construction
> costs and it no longer exists.
> iv) An entity may reduce the size of a building e owns, however, e shall
> only receive 10% of the difference in the construction costs between its
> current size and its new size.
> 
> VI. Rule Defined
> The following buildings are common locations and may never be smaller that
> as defined originally but can be greater:
> i) The Senate Building is lavish.
> ii) The FM building is a classy place.
> iii) The Courthouse is a cosy building.
> BABEL
> 
> Repeal Rule 846 (Constructions and Architectural Aesthetic).
> 
> 
> Amend Rule 1309 (We don't need Gravity) if it exists by replacing the
> penultimate paragraph with the following text:
> "
> In the event that any item loses its suction cups, which may only happen in
> accordance with the rules, it shall fall off of the earth and dangle from
> its surface by the attached emergency tether, in the case of a building it
> shall become Tethered.
> "
> 
> Amend Rule 1313 (Tornado) by replacing the following text:
> "
> Whenever a Tornado sweeps through Acka, each player's or haunted house that
> is dangling from its emergency tether stands a separate 50% chance of
> losing its tether and being swept off the face of Acka. The player or
> undead shall retain possession or haunt of the land the building was
> sitting on. A player so bereaved of shelter may rebuild his house for
> A$100, and he must name it upon its reconstruction. Until such time, he
> shall be issued a small tent for use as his Home.
