 Proposal 4335
 The Unkindest Cut of All
 Rachel L Walmsley
 Due: Tue Aug 31 20:04:44 1999
 Sphere: Wombles of Wibbledon
 Status: rejected

 [ Our ultimate goal here at WoW is to "replace the Rules for Ackanomic
 with the rules for draughts," where "draughts" may be taken as an
 unambiguous misspelling of "checkers."  Our straightforward attacks have
 failed; perhaps lateral thinking can still save the day. ]
 
 Replace each instance of the string "Ackanomic" in the Rules and all other
 Official Documents with the string "The Rules for Checkers".
 
 The Four Tops' "Same Old Song (With A Different Meaning Since You've Been
 Gone)" begins playing on the ASS.

 Proposal 4336
 A More Prefect Union
 Rachel L Walmsley
 Due: Tue Aug 31 20:05:13 1999
 Sphere: Wombles of Wibbledon
 Status: accepted

 [ Certain players seem to think the amount of Crime in Ackanomic is
 insufficient.  Let's show them.  All we have to do is ] create a new Rule,
 numbered as the Rule-Harfer chooses, (in the Crime section, wherever that
 is today, would be a good idea), entitled "The Caped Crusader Lives!" with
 the following MIAMI-delimited text:
 
 MIAMI
 There is nothing wrong with Ackanomic's Crime rules as they stand.  To
 insinuate otherwise is to commit the heinous Crime of Insubordination,
 which shall be punished as harshly as possible.  Suggested penalties
 include: being forced to listen to (and summarize) heated debates on
 pointless topics, such as whether Acka has an "economy"; being locked in
 the Library while the ASS is stuck on maximum volume playing Back Street
 Boys; and refereeing a game of Word Un-Association.
 
 The Crime Rules are perfect.  Ackanomic is perfect.
 
 The Chartreuse Goose is your friend.
 
 Are *you* happy, Citizen?
 MIAMI

 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: rejected

 If this proposal is not Boring then take two points away from Studge and
 give two points to Emperor Ai! Pedrito! [for doing my numbering for me].
 
 Create a rule numbered as the Rule-Harfer sees fit (with the rest of the
 Win Conditions would be a good place) with the following PAYMENTFORCAPITAL
 delimted text.
 
 PAYMENTFORCAPITAL
 Any player of Ackanomic to cause Ackanomic to recieve actual currency in
 excess of 10 US dollars (or the equivalent value of any other currency)
 from some source in the extra-nomic "real world" (other than emselves or
 some other player) shall have achieved a win condition.  Players who win in
 this manner shall be given the title "Nomic Benefactor".

 Proposal 4338
 Reincarnating into a Proposal Title
 ThinMan
 Due: Wed Sep  1 12:15:55 1999
 Sphere: Tocpe
 Status: accepted

 {{[
    What happens if the greatest number of reincarnations is shared by more
    than one player?  Rule 4-6 appears to assume that this will not happen,
    as it assigns the title Third Cat to _the_ player who has been reincarnated
    the most times.  Likewise for Passive Contemplator, although a tie is
    much, much less likely to occur there.  This proposal will fix the
    situation by specifying that these titles only change hands when the
    current title holder is surpassed by another player.
 
    Oh, and ObExtortion: I just thought I should mention that with this
    proposal I am reincarnated a fourth time, thus tieing Robert Sevin for
    the most reincarnations.  :-)
 ]}}
 
 Amend rule 4-6 (Reincarnating into the Third Cat) by replacing the second
 paragraph with the following KARMA-delimited text:
 
 KARMA
 Third Cat is a unique title.  If a single active player active player has
 been reincarnated more times than any other active player, but does not
 have the title Third Cat, then that player receives the title Third Cat.
 
 Passive Contemplator is a unique title.  If a single active player has a
 greater difference between the numbers of two his chronologically
 consecutive proposals than does any other active player, but does not have the
 title Passive Contemplator, then that player receives the title Passive
 Contemplator.
 KARMA
 
 {{[
    P 4331 may have added a square-bracketed comment to the text of rule 4-6
    that appears to have been intended as a comment in the proposal only.  As
    long as I am mucking about with the rule, I may as well remove any doubt.
 ]}}
 
 If the text of rule 4-6 contains any square brackets, then those brackets 
 and all text enclosed by them are removed.

Immodest Clean-up
Reductio
Due: Wed Sep  8 15:41:15 1999
Sphere: Hypnotist of Ladies

[The reference to Modest proposals in 2-2-1 confused me a bit, given
that Modest proposals no longer exist. This removes the reference. Also,
a little rule clean-up concerning Rule 6-5-8 as Rule 6-5-8-1 (referred
to in 6-5-8) does not exist but 7-1-6 serves the same function.]

Remove the quoted word, "Modest", from Rule 2-2-1, section III

Replace the following quoted text from Rule 6-5-8, "Rule 6-5-8-1", with
the following quoted text, "Rule 7-1-6".

Replace the full text of Rule 8-2-4 (Commission d'Arts) with the following

WESUQ 

Silver Moons are non-tradeable entities. They may only be created
and awarded in accordance with the Rules.  Any player in possession of a
Silver Moon shall have the right use the Title "Smooth Operator".

WESUQ

Change the title of Rule 8-2-4 to "Art is Dead".

{{ The Rule Harfer is enjoined to renumber Rule 8-2-4 as he feels
appropriate. }} 

{{[ We can barely ever pull together a Commission any more and get results
out.  I was on one of these once and we didn't even seem to know how it
was supposed to work.  If you don't want to repeal it via this proposal,
maybe you could write a proposal to better define the way the Commission
works.  I think we should make it easier to recognize inspired writing,
but what do I know? ]}}
