Proposal 3613
It Is A "Stick", Your Majesty
Eris (Gavin Logan)

Create a new rule, named "Imports Rule Suite", numbered 503, with the
following HARF delimited text:

HARF
[This is a link to the Imports Rule Suite.]

An import’s Nomic Of Origin (noo) may make a public message [as per rule
419.3] placing that import into the set of a type of entity. That entity
type may not be a type currently defined by a rule inside or outside of this
rule suite. [e.g. The noo may place the entity into the set "dollars" or
"donuts" but not "Ackadollars".] If the same noo makes an announcement of
this sort more than once in a calendar week, then all announcements after
the first are ignored.

When this announcement is made, a rule is created within this rule suite
named "Import Type: <type>", where <type> is replaced by the type announced
by the noo; numbered 503.X, where X is the lowest positive integer such that
this is a unique rule; with the following double quote delimited text:

"
<type> are tradeable, exportable entities.
"

where <type> is replaced by the type of entity concerned and any
necessary capitalisation may be performed by the Rule-Harfer. Players are
encouraged to augment the rules in this rule suite so that these types mimic
the properties they have within the rule set of their noo, or have at least
nominal worth or use within the game of Ackanomic. If an officer or any
player responsible for accepting an import from another nomic is informed
that such an import falls into a pre-defined type within this rule suite,
that player must announce this fact publicly before this import is accepted.

All rules in this rule suite take precedence over rule 501, "ExtraNomic
Entities" where there is conflict.

Proposal 3616
Less Harfing for the Financier
Fo (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

Delete subsection e from section 3 of Rule 1044, "Swingpoints".

[This part is the one which limits how frequently conversions can occur.
I don't see that it is all that necessary anymore - it just adds to the
Financier's workload by forcing em to check the last times for Swingpoint
conversion before they can ack the current one.

The only types of conversion which are restricted in this way are
Swingpoints into Bonus Votes, PartyChess Pieces, and Benefyts.
Bonus Votes - each player can only have 4 anyway at any one time, and can
only cast one per proposal - why the extra restriction?
PartyChess Pieces - can also be bought for cash, so no real restriction.
Benefyts - you can use at most one per Play, and usually Plays occur not
more than once per week anyway.]

Fill in the Blank: Edinburgh *blank* Festival
Fo (Duncan Richer)

Create a new Rule, numbered 1280, titled "Fringe Festival", with the
following SURRY-delimited text:

SURRY
If no Fringe Festival has occurred in the last 30 days, it is a privilege
of the Office of President to call a Fringe Festival.

A Fringe Festival is designed to celebrate the life and times of Ackazens,
especially one in particular [I'll let you guess which one.]  The first
part of the Festival lasts 7 days.

During the first part of the Festival, any player may donate any Trinket
they own, with a value of A$25 or more, to the Awards Committee.  The
Awards Committee is an unownable entity which may own Trinkets.

Once the first part of the Festival has concluded, the intermission 
begins.  The intermission lasts for 1 second.  In the intermission, a
Trinket valued at A$50, titled "First Prize #x", where x is replaced by
the smallest natural number which would produce a valid new Trinket name,
and with the description "What do you think it is, buddy boy?"
is created in the possession of the Awards Committee.  Once the
intermission has concluded, the second part of the Festival begins.

In the second part, a Festival Hearing is called, with the Archivist as
its Hearing Harfer.  The valid responses to the Hearing are the names of
the Trinkets owned by the Awards Committee.

The verdict of the Hearing is chosen as follows:

(1) Ignore all responses which were the names of Trinkets donated to the
Awards Committee by people who did not vote in the Hearing.
(2) Of the non-ignored valid responses, pick one at random from those with
the largest number of votes.

This takes precedence over any rules which specify how a verdict is
obtained in a Hearing in the event of a conflict.

The player who donated the Trinket whose name matches the verdict of the
Hearing receives all Trinkets owned by the Awards Committee.  In addition,
an Admiralty Moon (a nontradeable entity which looks like a Silver Moon
but has a crazy Fringe around it) is created in the possession of said
player.

Proposal 3624
Entity Name Loophole
Fo (Duncan Richer)

This is a Modest Proposal.

[We currently have a way to deal with entities which are not given a valid
name at their creation.  However, if the name then becomes invalid later
there is nothing done about it.]

In Rule 500.1, "Entity Names", replace the text
'If a named entity at any time ever does not have a name, it shall
immediately take the name "Nameless Thing #X"'

with the text
'If a named entity at any time ever does not have a name, or has a name
which does not comply with the Rules, it shall immediately take the name
"Nameless Thing #X"'
