 Status: rejected

 {{[Expecting the cortex to agree on reasoning is time consuming; this
 changes it so that the justices need only agree on the verdict.]}}
 
 Amend the rule 3-4, sections II and III to read:
 
 "
 
 	II. How the Supreme Court judges a CFJ
 
 The Supreme Court shall then decide the case, and should return its
 verdict within one week. If this is the first time the Supreme Court
 has considered that CFJ, the unanimous decision of the owners of the
 Supreme Cortex that was assigned the CFJ shall be the verdict of the
 Court. If the Supreme Court has already returned a verdict on the CFJ
 in question, and this verdict was appealed, the Supreme Court's verdict
 shall be the unanimous decision of all active Justices (returned within
 one week of the full Court receiving the CFJ) or the decision of a 2/3
 supermajority of the active Justices (if the Court does not reach a
 unanimous decision within one week).
 
 	Each Justice in a case should send reasoning and a verdict, optionally
 along with a penalty, to the CotC.  If a sufficient number have the
 same verdict then the CotC should publicly announce the result along
 with all of the reasonings as per a normal case.  Note that the Cortex
 or Court need not, and encouraged not to, reach internal agreement on
 the reasoning.
 
 	III. Effects upon a judgement of an appeal by the Supreme Court
 
 If the court agrees with the previous verdict, the player who lodged
 the appeal shall be fined between 0 and 25 points for a frivolous
 appeal, with the penalty to be 25 points unless the Justices specify
 otherwise by the same margin neccessary to decide the case.
 
 	If the court disagrees with the previous verdict, then the verdict
 shall be overturned to the new verdict, and all players who decided the
 previous verdict [i.e. judge, or justice on a Cortex] shall be fined
 between 0 and 10 points, the penalty to be 1 unless the Justices
 specify otherwise.
 
 	Further, if the judgement (A) under appeal included a penalty for a
 
 frivolous appeal or a judgement overturn, and judgement A is itself
 overturned, then points shall be awarded to the parties penalised by
 judgement (A) as described above, to exactly balance the points lost
 from that judgement.

 Proposal 4277
 I object to the label of Traitor

 Due: Mon Aug  2 19:54:45 1999
 Sphere: Wombles of Wibbledon
 Status: accepted
 
  {{[ Ackanomic could use some teeth.  
      Currently, the only action taken against rival nomics
      is to throw their players in Gaol.
      This is not only useless, but backwards.
      In the words of K 2, "There isn't anyone in gaol :-) 
      If they were I think they would get pardoned pretty quick."
  
      This proposal enumerates methods whereby Ackanomic
      may infiltrate and harfiate a rival nomic.
      Nothing is required of anybody until they volunteer, 
      but volunteers have an effective means 
      to manipulate the enemy nomic through its very essence.
  
      Proposal 4258 temporarily removed the possibility
      that Agora could throw us all in our own Gaol,
      and caused a minor uproar.
      This proposal removes the threat entirely,
      and allows us to reinstate the Declaration of War.
  
      Let us not be unprepared for Agora's attack!
  ]}}
  
  Delete the last paragraph of rule 17-2, 
  "A Few of Our Least Favorite Things".
  [Currently reads:
  "While Ackanomic is in a State of War, 
  all players who are voluntarily registered players of 
  the any nomic with which Ackanomic
  is in a State of War shall be placed in Gaol. 
  They may only be released by Presidential Pardon 
  or the repeal of the Declaration of War. 
  This rule takes such precedance as may be required 
  for this paragraph to do as it claims."
  ]

  Create a new rule, numbered 17-2-1, named "Sharing the Harf",
  with the following tWNo7OvKh2Wa0V0oZFlR6A-delimited text.
  
  tWNo7OvKh2Wa0V0oZFlR6A
  While Ackanomic is in a State of War with a nomic, 
  herein called the rival nomic, active players of Ackanomic 
  should attempt to humiliate, incorporate, or harfiate the rival nomic.
  To accomplish this, they are encouraged to join the rival nomic
  and throw zopzop into the rival nomic's ruleset.
  
  Any active player of Ackanomic may call a Pep Rally
  on a Strike Action to be taken in the rival nomic.
  A Pep Rally is a Hearing, with valid responses of 
  "This will humiliate the rascals!" and 
  "The implications and probable resolution of the stated strategy 
  are utterly inadequate for rendering the opposition 
  incapacitated with excessive joviality."
  The player who called the Pep Rally is the Hearing Harfer 
  and may be called the Strategist while the Pep Rally is in session.
  
  If the verdict of a Pep Rally is "This will humiliate the rascals!"
  then each active player able to perform the Strike Action 
  in the rival nomic for three days, must do so within those three days.
  Failure to comply with this paragraph is the Crime of Treason,
  with a minimum sentence of three days in Gaol
  and a thirty-line Public Apology.
  
  If the verdict of a Pep Rally is not "This will humiliate the rascals!"
  then the Strategist shall be fined the Standard Harfer Fee
  for disrupting the peace.

  Create a new rule, numbered 17-2-2, named "The Dawning of the Age",
  with the following 01J6ILKZM3W08WX038-delimited text.
  
  01J6ILKZM3W08WX038
  When a Declaration of War ceases to exist, 
  1)  the President may award one Purple Heart to each player
      who has significantly contributed to the harf of the rival nomic,
      in the judgement of the President; and
  2)  an Ackanomic Parade shall be held, 
      with the author of the proposal or other action
      repealing the Declaration of War as the Guest of Honour.
  
  Purple Hearts are Medals, and are created or destroyed as necessary
  by the Frobozz Magic Medal Company, Ackanomic Division.
