 Proposal 4369
 By request... Surfs Up
 K 2
 Due: Tue Sep 21 16:00:46 1999
 Sphere: Wombles of Wibbledon
 Status: accepted

 I was young and foolish then. I'm old and foolish now.
 
 This is a Modest Proposal. 
 
 I. Amend Rule 4 (Players and Player States) by:
 
 a) in section I "Player States", replacing:
   "
   Players are named, unownable entities.
   "
   with: 
   "
   Players are named, tradeable entities. 
   "
 
 b) in section VII "Upon Becoming (and while) On Ice", inserting the
 following as a new item between items f and g:
   "
   x) They cease to own emself and are placed in the treasury.
   "
   and renumbering the items appropriately. 
 
 {{[Icy players have to buy emselves out :-)]}}
 
 II. {{All active Players own themselves. All other players are in the
 treasury.}} 
 
 III. Append after the following sentence in Rule 4-1 (Joining the Game):
 "
 Upon the posting of this announcement, the person's state is changed to
 either Voting (the default) or Non-Voting, depending on their wishes
 expressed as above.
 "
 the following: 
 "
 New players own emselves.
 "
 
 IV. Create a Rule titled "Serfdom" with the following (SURFSUP
 delimited) text: 
 SURFSUP 
 For the purposes of this Rule any Player who owns a Player other than
 emself shall be referred to as a Master while the Player who is
 owned by a Master shall be referred to as a serf. 
 
 1. Duties and Obligations of a serf. 
 i) A serf is respectful. A serf shall refer to eir Master as either
 Master, M'Lord or Most Harfy One, or alternately by a title specified by
 eir Master. It is the Crime of Disrespect for a serf to address or refer
 to eir master in any other manner. 
 ii) A serf is considerate. A serf may not challenge eir Master to a duel
 nor be a second to a Player who has. Nor may they call a hearing
 of any type against eir Master. 
 iii) A serf is helpless. If a serf feels they have been unfairly treated
 by any Player other than eir Master they may complain publicly about
 em. If it is legal for the Master to challenge the offending Player to a
 duel e must do so, if e does not e shall lose 6 points and eir serf
 shall gain 6 points. This Privilege may be exercised at most once per
 month. 
 
 2. Rights and Responsibilities of a Master. 
 i) A Master is Wise. Four times per calendar month a Master may command
 eir serf (if e is a voting Player) to perform a particular voting
 action on a proposal by privately mailing both the Tabulator and eir
 serf of the required voting strategy. Provided that the serf was not the
 author of that proposal, the serf shall perform the required voting
 action on the selected proposal. Any entities required to perform the
 voting action must be supplied by the Master. Additionally, the Master
 shall transfer the Standard Harfer fee to eir serf the first time this
 privilege is exercised in each calendar month. 
 
 While an entity may own a Player it shall not be considered to own the
 Player's possessions.

 {{[
    Okay, things being in gaol for an non-specified length of time can
    be problematic.  This attempts to fix this without reinstating
    repealed pardons.   It also cleans up the wording of the wake up in
    gaol clause of ingesting.

 A player is released from the Gaol if and when their sentence expires
 or after 1 day has passed, whichever is longer. Other rules may specify
 other conditions under which a player is released.
