 Proposal 4195
 Oregon Trail
 T. T. Ren
 Due: Thu Jun 17 04:15:40 1999
 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: accepted

 amend rule 10-2 by 
 
 1) inserting the following TELEPORT-delimited text between the second and
 third paragraphs
 
 TELEPORT
 In order to offer or accept a trade, or to gift any entities, the donator
 and the recipient must be in the same region.  This does not apply to any
 rule-mandated payments (CFCJ punishments, for example), or to any
 transaction between the treasury and another entity.
 TELEPORT
 
 2) removing the second sentence of the fifth paragraph 
 3) replacing the final paragraph with the following FRONTIER-delimited text:
 
 FRONTIER   
 The Town is a region of Ackanomic located beyond the Wilds.  The default
 location for the Town is the Hitching Post.
 
 All Kaas of Land and all Buildings are located in either the City or the
 Town, unless otherwise specified by the Rules.
 
 Beyond the Town is the region known only as the Outer Territories.
 FRONTIER
 
 Amend rule 10-2 by:
 
 1) replacing the first instance of 'in the City' with 'in the City or Town'
 2) appending to the first paragraph 'The Town always has exactly 81 kaas.'
 3) replacing 'describing the position of Kaas' with 'describing the
 position of City Kaas'
 4) appending to the rule 'Kaas in the Town are referred to the same way,
 but with reference to the Hitching Post.  They are also prefaced with T to
 distinguish them from City Kaas.'
 
 Amend rule 10-2-1 by:
 
 1) replacing all instances of 'Kaa' with 'City Kaa'
 2) appending to the first sentence: 'or a Town Kaa for A$20'
 {{[Land is cheap in the Town, but the Treasury won't buy it back]}}
 
 Create rule 10-4-2, named Map of the Town, with the following
 CLONE-delimited text:
 
 CLONE
 The Map of the Town is a map which represents the region of Ackanomic known
 as the Town. It should display all locations found within the Town (that
 are not themselves within another location). This includes, but is not
 limited to, Kaas of land, Buildings, and Towers. The Map of the Town should
 also represent in some way whatever lies immediately outside the bounds of
 the Town, if anything. The Town itself is square, and the Hitching Post is
 in the center of the Town.
 
 The Map-harfer is the officer in charge of the Map of the Town, and is
 responsible for maintaining its accuracy. If a location is known to be in
 the Town, but exactly where it is in the Town is unknown, then it is the
 duty of the Map-harfer to specify a place on the map for that location."
 CLONE
 
 Create rule 10-1-9, named Hitching Post, with the following
 COWPOKE-delimited text:
 
 COWPOKE
 The Hitching Post is a common location at the geographic center of the
 Town.  It is where Ackans dry and dusty from travel tie their animals or
 vehicles.  Any player at the Hitching Post may tie any animal or vehicle
 they own to the Hitching Post as a public action.  It is the Crime of
 Hogging the Water Hole for one player to have more than one animal or
 vehicle they own tied to the hitching post.

Proposal 4214
Let's Build A Road
Ai! Pedrito!
Due: Thu Jun 24 13:02:31 1999
Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance

{{return rule 10-2 to the way it looked before P4195 passed.  Change the
rules as if proposal 4195 had passed, but the first occurrence of '10-2' in
the proposal was replaced with '10'

[This is the fix to rule 10-2, which I screwed up accidentally with 4195.
I apologize for including it in this non-fix proposal, but as I have 4
props already in the queue, and the subjects are related, I thought it was
forgivable.

Note please that this proposal is *not* scammy.  It allows players who
don't have strong political views to earn a bit of money for that.  The
total amount of money available to all of Acka from this prop is 360*SHF
(approximately A$9,000)  It will take quite a while for all of this
roadwork to be distributed, and each player will have chances to do work
without fear of much Hubert.  It is merely a way to stimulate the economy
and make a creation-type rule.  I think these are fun, and harfy.]

Trent loses 4 points.  else...if gains 4 points.}}

Add a rule, numbered 10-1-10, named The Path Through the Wilds, with the
following CONTRACTOR-delimited text

CONTRACTOR
It is currently a miserable, dangerous affair to travel from the City to
the Town, and vice versa.  It has thus been decided that the citizens of
Ackanomic should build a road from the City to the Town.  The Road is to be
100,000 cat-heights (40 mokokaka) in length.  An Ackan who owns a Shovel or
a Pick may work on the road.

{{One randomly chosen active player receives the Steamroller.  All active
players other than the owner of the Steamroller are placed on a list,
ordered randomly.  Each player on the first half of the list receives a
Shovel.  Each player on the second half receives a Pick.  If there are an
odd number of players on the list, the middle member receives a Shovel}}

Shovels and Picks are ownable entities.  The Steamroller is a unique,
tradeable entity.

A Player with a Pick may Break Up Rocks as a public action.  This action
fails unless the player Breaking Up Rocks specifies a proposal currently in
the queue.  The player's vote on that proposal is disregarded, because e is
too busy working the road crew to vote on it.  However, e does create the
groundwork for 2,500 cat-heights (One mokokaka) of road.  If a player
Breaking Up Rocks has specified a proposal as per this rule, e may not
Break Up Rocks again until that proposal has come due.  Only 40 mokokaka
may be broken up.

A Player with a Shovel may Dig Out the Road as a public action, provided
that there is some length of Broken Up Road that has not been Dug Out.
Digging Out the Broken Up Road digs out 2500 cat-heights. (1 mokokaka)  A
player Digging Out the Road is too busy to spend time currying political
favor.  As a result, Digging Out fails if the Digger has a Voting
Characteristic greater than 1, or if a player has Dug Out within the last
week.

If The Player who owns the Steamroller passes a proposal, e may Finish a
mokokaka of Dug Out Road as a public action within the next three days,
provided that a mokokaka of Dug Out, Unfinished Road exists.  

Foreman is an office.  The Foreman must keep track of the length of the
Road Bed, the length of Dug Up Road, and the lengths Broken Up, Dug Out,
and Finished by each player.  This information must be made available to
any player on request, and should be kept on a webpage.  {{The Player able
to assume the name Trent receives the title Foreman in an acting capacity}}

When the road is completed, 

I) each player is paid by the treasury as follows:
5 * SHF for each mokokaka Broken Up
3 * SHF for each mokokaka Dug Out
1 * SHF for each mokokaka Finished

II) the foreman receives the SHF as a bonus.

III) This rule is renamed City-Town Highway.

IV) The text of this rule is replaced with the following HIGHWAY-delimited
text

HIGHWAY
The Highway between the City and Town of Ackanomic exists and is a common
location in the Wilds.  It is 100,000 cat-heights (40 mokokaka) long.  It
was built by honest, hardworking Ackans like you and me.

Shovels and Picks are ownable entities.  The Steamroller is a unique,
tradeable entity.

 Proposal 4197
 Some Cleanup
 T. T. Ren
 Due: Thu Jun 17 14:32:52 1999
 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: accepted

 {{[paradigm and APP cleanup (they are repealed already) and a resolution of
 sorts for the problems raised in my last post]}}
 
 If modesty exists, this is a modest proposal.
 
 Repeal all rules numbered 1-7-x (paradigms are revealed, so individual
 paradigms should be)
 
 Amend rule 1-2-8 by replacing 'an APP of random Colour and Shape.' with 'a
 pointy ear'
 
 Amend rule 10-1-2-1 by replacing 'a random APP' with 'an A$75 must-describe
 trinket'
 
 If P4195 passed, 
 1) amend rule 10-2 by appending the following to the third  paragraph (the
 paragraph added by P4195):
 
 If a player attempts to accept a trade, or gift an entity, to an entity in
 a different region, then the player first moves to the region of the entity
 on the other side of the transfer.
 
 2)  delete 'offer or' from the first sentence of the same paragraph
