 Append the following UUNET delimited text to rule 1-6
 UUNET
 	It is possible for a proposal or rule to specify that something be
 unamed to a string; this is similar to naming, except for certain
 exceptions made in this rule.  When an entity is unamed to something
 containing a "#" the object is named that string with the last "#" replaced
 by the smallest positive integer neccessary to make the name legal.
 Unaming an entity to a string not containing a "#" is the same as naming it
 to that string.

 	Amend rule 16-1-8 to read as delimited by FRIENDSANDFAMILY, and
 renumber it to rule 16-2.
 FRIENDSANDFAMILY
 	All player are either Swingers or Non-Swingers.  A Non-Swinger may
 choose to Back a Swinger as a public action.  If the Swinger and more than
 half of that Swinger's Backers accept the Non-Swinger publicly, than the
 Non-Swinger ceases to Back any other Swingers, and becomes a Backer of the
 Swinger who accepted him.  A Backer may cease to Back a Swinger as a public
 action.  As a public action, a Backer may approve a Support Payment of a
 specified number of A$.  If, within seven days, more than half of the
 Backers of the same Swinger approve the Support Payment, it is Ordered.
 One week after the Support Payment is ordered, all active Backers of that
 Swinger automatically transfer the specified number of A$ to the associated
 Coalition.  Backers who don't own the specified number of A$ cease to be
 Backers; this is the only way a Backer can cease to be one involuntarily.
 If a Swingership is Warm, a Backer may publicly approve that it be
 transfered to a specified player.  If, within one week, more than half of
 the Backers approve that the Swingership be given to the same player, and
 the player accepts, than the Swingership is transfered to that player.  As
 a public action, A Backer may approve changing the Swinger's salary.  If
 more than half of the Backers of a Swinger approve the same salary change
 with seven days, the Swinger's salary is set to that amount.
 	Coalitions are unownable, named entities.  Each Swingership has an
 associated Coalition.  Coalitions may only own A$ and Point Pointers.  A
 Swinger may order eir Coalition to buy PartyChessPieces for the Swinger as
 a public action.  The cost of the piece is transfered to the Treasury from
 the Coalition, and the Swinger receives the PartyChessPiece.  If the
 Swinger would not be allowed to purchase the Piece, e may not order eir
 Coalition to.  Point Pointers are ownable, nameless entities which may not
 be owned by anything other than a Coalition.

As you have probably noticed (if you bothered to read any of the voting
reports) that the bot has been coming up with some pretty inanely wrong
numbers for the subcommittee scores.  So far this hasn't been much of a
problem, since they all passed their subcommittees and the wrong numbers
said so too, but this one, for the first time ever, was actually rejected
by its subcommittee.  The subcommittee consists of IdiotBoy, else...if,
rufus, and Niccolo Flychuck, and the right numbers were:
Subcommittee vote for: 122  against: -90  Index: -13.0

I have found this bug and will have it fixed momentarily.

 President, Speaker, Clerk of the Courts, Financier, Scorekeeper, Promoter,

 a replacement at that time.  If no voting or nonvoting player holds a given
 functional office in any capacity (for instance because the holder went on
 vacation or resigned as Acting Officer without specifying a replacement),
 the office is assigned to the first Substitute in that office's Cabinet who
 has not resigned as Acting Officer for that office since it was last held
 in a non-Acting capacity.
