 Proposal 4347
 Gnomesday on the ASS Mark II
 Emperor Ai! Pedrito!
 Due: Sun Sep  5 15:24:59 1999
 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: accepted

 Renumber rule 1-2-8-2 to be a child of Entity Uniqueness (7-2)
 
 Create a rule, 7-2-7-1, ASS Song: The Gnome, with the following
 SYD_BARRETT-delimited text
 
 ----------------------------
 SYD_BARRETT
 
 Title: The Gnome
 
 Artist: Pink Floyd
 
 Trigger: Whenever it becomes August 28th
 
 Effect:
 
 THIS_WILL_BE_REPLACED
 
 Duration: 1 day.
 
 Explanation:
 
 "And then one day - hooray!  Another way for gnomes to say  Hoooooooooray.
 Hooooooooooooooray." [The Gnome, Pink Floyd]
 
 SYD_BARRETT
 -----------------------------

 In the rule Yes, Virginia, remove the text: "August 28th, known as
 Gnomesday, is a Holiday, and a time of great happiness and jocularity for
 Acka." [The fact that it is a holiday is already screwed up -- it messes
 with proposals coming due and hearings and other stuff too.]
 
 Replace THIS_WILL_BE_REPLACED in the rule that was just created, 7-2-7-1,
 ASS Song: The Gnome, with all of the rule Yes, Virginia beginning after "He
 returns home at midnight."
 
 In rule 7-2-7-1, ASS Song: The Gnome, perform the following changes:
 
 replace 'on Gnomesday' with 'while this song is playing.'
 replace 'players of Acka on this day' with 'players of Acka at exactly noon
 if this song is playing on the ASS.'

 Proposal 4348
 This is a boring harfy proposal
 Red Mao Gang
 Due: Sun Sep  5 20:18:17 1999
 Sphere: Hypnotist of Ladies
 Status: rejected
 
 {{[
     I realized as I was perusing the rules that a proposal could be both
     boring and harfy, and this seems kind of odd to me, so I'm going to
     attempt to fix it.   I also fix null, harfy proposals.
     The gist is, that a null proposal can never be harfy (even if it's
     declared to be harfy).  Also a harfy proposal can not ever be boring.
 ]}}
 
 Amend rule 2-2-1 (Scoring When A Proposal's Voting Results are Reported)
 by replacing the following BORING_AND_NULL delimited text
 BORING_AND_NULL
    VI. Null Proposals
 
    If an accepted proposal does not become a new rule or generate at
    least one valid effect under Rule 2, then it is a "Null Proposal". No
    points are scored by any player via the preceding provisions of this
    rule from the acceptance of a Null Proposal.
 
    VII. Boring Proposals A proposal is Boring if and only if the majority
    of votes cast on it, ignoring votes of exactly 60 or -60, were between
    -59 and 59 inclusive. The above provisions notwithstanding, no points
    are scored by any player as a result of a Boring proposal being
    accepted or rejected.
 BORING_AND_NULL
 
 with the following BORING_NULL_HARFY delimited text
 BORING_NULL_HARFY
    VI. Null Proposals
 
    If an accepted proposal does not become a new rule or generate at
    least one valid effect under Rule 2, then it is a "Null Proposal". No
    points are scored by any player via the preceding provisions of this
    rule from the acceptance of a Null Proposal.   If a Null proposal had
    been declared Harfy, then no change shall be made to its author's score
    nor shall its author gain the title of Harfmeister.   This section
    takes precedence over any rules with which it conflicts.
 
    VII. Boring Proposals
 
    A proposal is Boring if and only if the majority of votes cast on it,
    ignoring votes of exactly 60 or -60, were between -59 and 59 inclusive
    and the proposal was not declared Harfy.  The above provisions
    notwithstanding, no points are scored by any player as a result of a
    Boring proposal being accepted or rejected.

 Proposal 4349
 Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark
 Reductio
 Due: Sun Sep  5 21:02:35 1999
 Sphere: Anti-Canada Kamikaze Alliance
 Status: accepted

 Reductio loses 5 points and Red Mao Gang gains 5 points.
 
 Append the following quoted text, "Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark
 (HA)", to Rule 4-10 where appropriate.
 
 Create rule 3-99 with the following text delimited by OLDER_FIXUP
 
    OLDER_FIXUP
    
 All players (on-ice, vacationing and active) immediately recieve ranks
 in the Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark based on the proposals which
 they submitted during their first three months as a player of Ackanomic.
 This clause takes precedence over all rules with which it conflicts,
 most especially rule 4.
 
 After all players have recieved the ranks in the Order of the
 Hyperactive Aardvark granted by this rule, this rule repeals itself.
 
    [This is needed so that it can in fact take precedence over rule 4
 since if it was numbered anything higher than 4, 4 would win the
 precedence battle since it claims precedence over all rules]
 
    OLDER_FIXUP
 
 Create a new Rule 4-10-2 named The Hyperactive Aardvark with the
 following SCARED_ANTS-delimited text:
 
 SCARED_ANTS
 
 {{[While I researched for this proposal, I noticed that there's really
 not all that many people who fall within the bounds of the three-month
 portion of the proposal who are more recent players. Perhaps an
 incentive for new players to put audacious proposals (by the standard of
 Newbies, who may feel slightly awkward at the
 weirdness of it all) out early might get them more involved in the game
 in the long run.
 
 If this proposal passes, I offer to help the Financier find out just who
 should get this order.]}}
 
 The auspicious Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark seeks to recognize
 those people with an inordinate compulsion to create rules and
 ammendments as swiftly as possible in Ackanomic.
 
 The Order's breadth extends from the period 3 months after the founding
 of Ackanomic [because the initial rule set was sparse enough that the
 first bunch of rules were created quickly and without much difficulty]
 to however long the Rule remains in the rule set.
 
 During the first three months after a player has joined Ackanomic, any
 proposal which they authored which creates at least one new rule gains
 the author the next successive rank in the Order of the Hyperactive
 Aardvark.
 
 After the first three months, a player may gain membership or successive
 ranks in the Order of the Hyperactive Ardvark by passing 8 non-boring,
 non-null proposals within a calendar month.   No more than one rank may
 be gained in the Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark during any given
 month.
