Due: Wed Jun 30 11:12:47 1999
Sphere: All Canadians're Kind & Amiable

{{[This would limit A$ scams to the A$ in the treasury and thus prevent
rampant excesses cf recent scams.]}}

Replace the second paragraph (starts with: "AckaDollars may not be
created nor destroyed") of Rule 7-5 (AckaDollars and Trinkets), with the
following:
"
AckaDollars may not be created nor destroyed except as the result of an
Operation. Whenever the Rules specify that a Player should
receive A$, and do not indicate where those A$ should come from, they
shall come from the Treasury. Whenever the Rules specify that a
Player should lose A$, and do not indicate where those A$ should go to,
or specify that A$ should be transfered to the Treasury, they shall be
destroyed instead.

Every Monday at Midday the Treasury shall create sufficent A$ such that
the total number of A$ is 100,000 less the combined value of all extant
Trinkets (including those Trinkets created in Ackanomic, yet exported as
described in the rules).  However, if the Treasury owns no A$ and the
application of the preceeding sentence would create more than A$1000
then the Treasury shall only create A$1000.

 	{{[There are too many proposals which do nothing more than tweak a
 line or two as a minor fix.  These are a waste of time and points.  CSRs
 were supposed to do these, but that's not working.]}}
 	Rename rule 6-4-11-1 to "Tweaks" and give it the following FROB
 delimited text
 FROB
 	Any player may attempt a Tweak as a public action.  A tweak is any
 single change to the rules, the Ackanomic Lexicon, the Literature List, or
 the Postal Code.  If, during the next three days, any two players object to
 it as a public action, it is rejected, otherwise it is accepted and the
 rule change is made.  If the Tweak changes the rules than the objection of
 the Rule-Harfer alone is enough to reject it.  Similar powers are posessed
 by the Spelling Exchequer if the Tweak changes the Literature List, the
 Postmaster for the Postal Code, and the Poet Laureate for the Literature
 List.
 FROB
 
 	In rule 1-2-1, replace the first two sentences of the last
 paragraph with "The Ackanomic Lexicon may only be modified by Proposals or
 CSRs."
 	Remove the last sentence of rule 2-2-2.
 	Remove section d of rule 6-4-4 and reletter accordingly.
 	In rules 6-4-12 and 10-5, remove all sentences containing the
 acronym "CSR".
