Proposal 3608
OK then... maybe this will work
Studge (Tom Mueller)

This is a Grandiose Proposal.

Create a rule numbered 1 with the title "Heh, Heh, Heh, Didn't think you'd
see this in the ruleset" with the text "The player known as Studge when e
joined Acaknomic is able to amend, delete, and add rules as a public action."

Proposal 3610
E lives under the bridge!
Weishaupt (Gabriel Drummond-Cole)

This is a modest proposal

{{The name of the player who at one time or currently had/has the name Fo
is changed to the following string, minus the quote marks: "Gretchold the
Evil Math Troll"}}

Then...

Add the following MAGNESIUM-delimited text to the rules as rule 249.  If
rule 249 already exists, this rule is instead given the highest unused rule
number less than 249.

MAGNESIUM
Any player named "Gretchold the Evil Math Troll" may not change eir name.
MAGNESIUM

Proposal 3611
Narrow Your Eyes
Weishaupt (Gabriel Drummond-Cole)

This is a modest proposal

Add the following ALUMINUM-delimited rule to the miscellaneous rule suite:

ALUMINUM
Eyes are non-unique, nontradeable entities.
All players have two eyes per head.  
Eyes can be blinded as defined in the rules.
Any player blinded in only one eye is known as a pirate and is given an eye
patch.
Eye patches are garments.
Any player blinded in all eir eyes is known as blind
If a player loses a head, e loses two eyes. e may choose what combination
of eyes [blind or not] to lose.
ALUMINUM

Proposal 3612
Grads are for Surveyors!  Bring on the Radians!
Weishaupt (Gabriel Drummond-Cole)

This is a modest proposal

Add the following SILICON-delimited rule to the end of rule 340:

SILICON
X The trigonometric functions evaluate in radians unless otherwise
specified, except that the trig functions of a googolplex are the following: 
sine(googolplex) returns the string "Math is Fun!"
cosine(googolplex) = "Vulcan Once Ruled Ackanomic"
tangent(googolplex) = Math is Fun!"/"Vulcan Once Ruled Ackanomic" = "Rule 1
evaluated over the interval [Vulcan, K2]"
secant(googolplex) = "Phoebe is a Steel Flea"
cosecant(googolplex) = e*pi*sqrt(2)*c
cotangent(googolplex) =  e*pi*sqrt(2)*c/"Phoebe is a Steel Flea" =
"INSLDWMI(Irrational Numbers and the Speed of Light Divided by a Wise
Metallic Insect)"

These are considered to be exact values, and as such have perfect precision.

SILICON

I retrack this proposal in favor of the correctly spelt one.
