 Proposal 4283
 The Best Offense is a Good Defense

 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: accepted

 {{[OK.  So what can one nomic do to another nomic when there are no
 enormous holes in the rules?  Just about the only thing is to join the
 nomic and overwhelm the loyal players with votes.  I was perusing the
 Agoran ruleset, and they have protection somewhat akin to this.  Seems
 wise.]}}

 
 Create rule 17-2-2, "Wartime Crisis", with the following BOING-delimited text:
 
 BOING
 To protect Ackanomic from attack by hostile nomics, any player who fears an
 influx of new players or an invading army can declare a Wartime Crisis on
 any proposal due more than 3 days from the declaration as a public action.
 This causes the proposal to become Protected.   
 
 {{[I considered limiting it to once a week, but that would have defeated
 the purpose.  If 4 or 5 hostile players join and each proposes 5
 non-similar game-breakers, we want to be able to thwart all of them]}}
 
 Also as a public action, any Justice, the Speaker, or the President, may
 deny the validity of a declaration of Wartime Crisis.  If such a denial
 occurs, the player who declared the Wartime Crisis loses 20 points, 100
 mannna, is fined A$300, and is placed in gaol for 3 days, and the proposal
 is no longer Protected. 
 
 {{[Let's not have frivolous declarations.]}}
 
 When a Protected proposal comes due, all newbies are considered to have
 abstained.  This rule takes precedence over all descendents of rule 2 with
 which it conflicts.
