>Create a new rule, numbered 540.3, named 'The Elements', with the
>following text:
>
>Each player has the following 5 characteristics: Fire Skill, Water Skill,
>Earth Skill, Air Skill, and Alignment.  Alignment has a range of all
>integers, while the others have a range of all non-negative integers.
>Each has a default value of 0.
>
>Also, there exist five corresponding elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and
>Order.
>
>Fire represents heat, the sun, and flames.  Fire is represented symbolically
>by the Icosahedron, the regular polyhedron with the most faces of all.
>Fire is opposed to Water, but joins with Earth in the form of wildfires,
>and with Air in the form of smoke.  Whenever a player who is On Fire
>extinguishes eirself, eir Fire Skill increases one point.
>
>Water represents the oceans, rivers, rain, and floods.  Water is represented
>symbolically by the Dodecahedron.  Water is opposed to Fire, but joins with
>Earth in the form of ice, and Air in the form of clouds.  Whenever a player
>successfully acquires an entity as a result of eir use of an Otzma Card of
>type Arctic Explorer, eir Water Skill in increased by one.  Whenever a player
>goes On Ice involuntarily, eir Water Skill decreases by one point if it is
>not already zero.
>
>Earth represents stone, solidity, the land animals, and man.  Earth is
>represented symbolically by the Cube.  Earth is opposed to Air, but joins
>with Fire in the form of coal and with Water in the form of mud.  Whenever
>a player becomes Stoned, eir Earth Skill increases by one.  Whenever a
>player goes On Ice involuntarily, eir Earth Skill decreases by one point
>if it is not already zero.
>
>Air represents the atmosphere, wind, lightning, and flying animals.
>Air is represented symbolically by the Octahedron.  Air is opposed to
>Earth, but joins with Fire in the form of smoke and with Water in the
>form of clouds.  Whenever a player successfully travels from any location
>within Acka to any Moon of Acka, his Air Skill increases by one.  Whenever
>a player gains a Wings mutation by any means (including simply buying it),
>eir Air Skill increases by one.  Whenever a player loses a Wings mutation,
>eir Air Skill decreases by one, unless it is already zero.  {{The Air Skill
>of each player with Wings is increased by one for each set of Wings e has.}}
>
>Order represents the eternal battle between Law and Chaos.  Order is
>represented symbolically by the Tetrahedron, that polyhedron which is its
>own dual.  Unlike the other elements, Order has two sides, and some may
>define a third side among those who refuse to choose a side.  Players whose
>Order is -1, 0, or 1 are considered Neutral; those whose Order is less than
>-1 are considered Chaotic, and those whose Order is greater than 1 are
>considered Lawful.  Whenever a harfy proposal is accepted, its submitter's
>Order decreases by one.  Whenever a grandiose proposal is accepted, its
>submitter's Order increases by one.  Whenever a TRUE verdict of a CFCJ
>becomes final, the Order of the player named in its statement is decreased
>by one.  Whenever a player wins a cycle of Ackanomic, eir Order is increased
>by one.
>
>{{[Players are encouraged to add additional conditions for the gain or loss
>of elemental characteristic points, when appropriate things are added to the
>rules or things I missed are discovered.]}}
