Proposal 3526
Training Regime fix
JT (JT Traub)

This is a modest proposal.
In rule 1390.6, replace 23 with 16.  {{[this puts the value back in line]}}
Renumber rule 1390.6 so that it is a member of the Otzma Card Rule suite
with the smallest positive subnumber not already a rule.

Proposal 3527
Nameless Thing #-2
Attila the Pun (Micah Smukler)

This is a Modest proposal

Amend subsection IIe of rule 250 ("Players and Player States") to
replace "the length of time since they first registered as a Player
of Ackanomic (or when the game started, whichever is less)." with
"the length of time since they first registered as a Player of
Ackanomic (or since when the game started, whichever is less)."

{{[An age is not a date.]}}

- ---

Replace subsection VIb of rule 250 with "b) All of eir tradeable
entities are transferred to the treasury.  All of eir nontradeable,
nonunique entities are destroyed.  Of all eir remaining entities,
if it would be possible by some means not defined in this rule
for a given entity to go Somewhere Else, it does so; otherwise, it
is transferred to a random active player.

{{[Why should the Treasury own pointy ears?]}}

{{[And a minor fix to make it work better...]}}

Amend rule 927 ("The Chocolate Frog") by inserting the text ", unique"
immediately after the text "named".

- ---

Amend rule 251 ("Player Names") by replacing the SEMISCAMMY-delimited
text below with the SOMEWHATSAFER text below

SEMISCAMMY
If the Registrar acknowledges a legal name change, or after three
days have passed if the Registrar neither acknowledges the change
nor objects to it(andthe new name complies with all applicable rules),
then the name change is accepted and occurs, at which time the player
in question shall pay the Standard Harfer Fee.
SEMISCAMMY

SOMEWHATSAFER
If the Registrar acknowledges a legal name change, or after three
days have passed if the Registrar (or, in the case of an attempt by
the Registrar to change eir name, neither the President nor any
Senator) neither acknowledges the change nor objects to it (and the
new name complies with all applicable rules), then the name change is
accepted and occurs, at which time the player in question shall pay
the Standard Harfer Fee.
