by MINIMUMS between sections 5 and 6.   Renumber the current sections 6
through 10 appropriately.
MINIMUMS
6) A Crime may, when defined by a rule, contain a Minimum Penalty.  When a
Crime contains a Minimum Penalty, a verdict of TRUE on the CFCJ must

This is a grandiose proposal.
{{Immediately upon distribution this proposal shall be retracted and its
author shall spend one day in gaol.}}

This is Not a Modest Proposal.

{{[ A Fuzzy voting System ]}}

{{[I have incorporated the changes made by 4024 by permitting players to
place a vote with an absolute value less than or equal to 100 times
their Voting Characteristic. The default value of the Voting
Characteristic is also changed to 3 (permitting votes between +/- 300
for 'the average player' as per the original RFC)]}}

{{[The following modifications were inspired by P2996, authored by
saaremaa]}}

I. Amend rule 2, "Proposals", to replace the third paragraph with this:
"
As soon as possible after a proposal's prescribed voting period ends,
the votes on that proposal shall be posted publicly. The proposal is
then accepted if the  proposal's Acceptance Index exceeds its Acceptance
Threshold.
"

II. Amend rule 2-1, "Voting on Proposals", to read:
"
Voting Players may vote an integer with an absolute value less than or
equal to 100 times their Voting Characteristic on each proposal, by
sending their vote to the Tabulator.

Players who vote less than a proposal's  Acceptance Threshold are said
to have voted to reject it, while players who vote greater are said to
have voted to accept it.

Votes must be unambiguous and unconditional. A Voting Player may also
choose not to vote on a proposal, which is called abstaining. Voting
Players who do not vote within the prescribed voting period shall be
deemed to have abstained. Voting Players may change their vote up until
the end of the prescribed voting period, but in any case are limited to
one vote per proposal.

A proposal's Acceptance Index is the sum of all votes legally cast
within its prescribed voting period. A proposal's Acceptance Threshold
is 0, unless changed as described in the rules.

The prescribed voting period on a proposal is seven days, starting from
the moment that the proposal is publicly distributed as specified by the
rules.

Entities may vote only as specified by the rules. Non-entities may not
vote.
"

III. Replace the text "It has a Default Value of 2." in Amend Rule 4-4-7
(Voting Characteristic) with "It has a Default Value of 3".

{{The Voting Characteristic of all players is increased to a value one
greater that it was just prior to the acceptance of this proposal.}}

IV. Create a new rule numbered 2-1-2 entitled "Mannna from Heaven" with
the text:
"
Mannna is an ownable entity.

A Trading entity may own a negative amount of Mannna.

When A Proposal's Voting Results are Reported, but prior to any effects
generated by it (including any scoring changes), the following Mannna
changes shall be applied to all players who did not abstain on the
proposal:

a) Players who cast a vote with an absolute value greater than 100 loose
100 less than the absolute value of their vote in Mannna.
b) Players who cast a vote with an absolute value between 60 and 100
gain 50 less half the absolute value of their vote in Mannna.
c) Players who cast a vote with an absolute value less than 60 gain 20
Mannna.

>From the time it is publicly pointed out that a player possesses a
negative amount of Mannna, until it is pointed out that they are out of
debt, that player may only cast votes between 100 and -100.
Additionally, at the time a player's Mannna debt it publicly pointed
out, the player shall by fined either 10% of the absolute value of their
debt in Mannna or 10 Mannna, whichever is greater. This paragraph takes
precedence over all rules governing how a player can vote.
"

V. Amend sub-section 2 of section II of Rule 4-1 (Joining the Game) to
read:
"
2) The new player is paid from the Treasury the sum of A$900 and
receives 100 Mannna.
"

{{All players have 100 Mannna.}}
{{[Don't even think of Patent Infringement]}}

{{[Fix the rest of the rules]}}

VI. Amend Rule 2-2 (Scoring When A Proposal's Voting Results are
Reported) making section VI. to read in full:
"
A proposal is Boring if and only if its Acceptance Index is between -60
and 60 inclusive. The above provisions notwithstanding, no points are
scored by any player as a result of a Boring proposal being accepted or
rejected.
"

VII. Amend Rule 1-7-3 (Paradigm Type: AntiVoting) by replacing the
phrase:
"
Anti-Voting is defined as voting NO on an accepted proposal or voting
YES on a rejected proposal (determined at the end of the prescribed
voting period).
"
with:
"
Anti-Voting is defined as voting to reject an accepted proposal or
voting to accept a rejected proposal (determined at the end of the
prescribed voting period).
"

VIII. Amend Rule 1-7-5 (Paradigm Type: Flow Voting) by replacing the
phrase:
"
Flow-Voting is defined as voting YES on an accepted proposal or voting
NO on a rejected proposal (determined at the end of the prescribed
voting period).
"
with:
"
Flow-Voting is defined as voting to accept an accepted proposal or
voting to reject a rejected proposal (determined at the end of the
prescribed voting period).
"

IX. Amend Rule 2-2-3 (Ackanomic Unity) by replacing the first sentence
with:
"
Should it ever occur that every player eligible to do so should vote to
accept the same proposal then the following shall happen:
"

X. Amend the paragraph which commences "If exactly one of the verdicts
of a Serious Hearing" in Rule 5 (Hearings) to read in full:
"
If exactly one of the verdicts of a Serious Hearing would lead to a
modification of the ruleset, that verdict must receive sufficient votes
such that if it were a proposal it would be accepted, treating votes for
that verdict as votes of 100 and all other votes in the hearing as votes
of -100. In this case, if this particular response would fail to be
accepted, the response that received the second most responses is the
verdict of the Hearing.
"

{{[Potential for a fuzzy hearing system ;-)]}}

XI. Amend Section i under the heading 'Effect:' in Rule 7-16-4 (ASS
Song: Ode to Joy) to read:
"
i) Every player that voted to accept the proposal that triggered the
song gains one point.
"

XII. Replace the text "All players who voted against a Great Work that
was accepted will lose 7 points" where it appears in section III,
[subsection c] in Rule 2-2-2 (Literature) with the text "All players who
voted to reject a Great Work that was accepted will lose 7 points"

XIII. Make Rule 6-4-6 (Scorekeeper) read in full:
"
The Office of the Scorekeeper is a Functional Office. The Duties of the
Scorekeeper are:

(a) maintaining a record of the players' current scores and their
Mannna.
(b) recording each score and Mannna change
(c) detecting and announcing as soon as possible the event of a player
achieving a Winning Condition by points.
(d) announcing when a player has a negative amount of Mannna and when
that has ceased to be the case.
(d) performing any random determinations involved in a process solely
involving Points or Mannna.
"

{{[Make the votes on proposals made under the other rules work]}}

XIV. Create a new rule with number 2-1-3, title "ZZimsy Proposals", and
text:
"
This rule has precedence over all other rules affecting proposal votes.

All proposals distributed after the proposal that created this rule, yet
distributed before this rule was created are ZZimsy Proposals. No other
proposals are ZZimsy.

All YES votes cast on ZZimsy Proposals are converted to votes of 100.
All NO votes cast on ZZimsy Proposals are converted to votes of -100.
All BAA votes cast on ZZimsy Proposals are converted to votes of 0.

Upon it being true that there exist no ZZimsy Proposals whose voting
results have not been reported, this rule repeals itself.
"

Amend rule 3-6 (Criminal Justice) insert the following text as delimited
by MINIMUMS between sections 5 and 6.   Renumber the current sections 6
through 10 appropriately.
MINIMUMS
6) A Crime may, when defined by a rule, contain a Minimum Penalty.  When a
Crime contains a Minimum Penalty, a verdict of TRUE on the CFCJ must
include at least that Minimum Penalty as party of the actual penalty.
MINIMUMS

{{[After the above renumbering is completed, what used to be 8a is now 9a]}}
Amend rule 3-6 (Criminal Justice) by amending section 9a) to read as
delimited by ENFORCE_MINIMUM
ENFORCE_MINIMUM
8a) Upon a verdict of TRUE, the judge may retain or alter the recommended
penalty. The result will become the actual penalty. This will be imposed
following a 3 day "grace period".  If the Crime for which the CFCJ is
submitted specifies a Minimum Penalty, and the actual penalty does not
include at least the Minimum Penalty, then the actual penalty is changed
to include the Minimum Penalty.   Failure to include the Minimum Penalty
in the actual penalty is the Crime of Excessive Leniency on the part of
the judge.
ENFORCE_MINIMUM

If Proposal 4050 passed, Amend rule 6-4-4 (Rule-Harfer) by inserting the 
following text as delimited by PUNISHMENT at the end of section e).

Amend Rule 8-4, "Winning by Points", to read as delimited by AHHA! below:

AHHA!
Points are entities. It is possible for a Player to have a negative number
of points. 
The number of points a Player has is commonly referred to as his or her
score; when it is specified that a Player's score is changed, the
appropriate number of points are created or destroyed in order to
accomplish the specified change. 
A player's Magic Number is the number of points they need to win a cycle
by points.  A player's Magic Number is equal to (500 + 50*C), where C is
the number of cycles that player has won.
A player achieves a Winning Condition at the instant their number of
points first reaches or exceeds their Magic Number in any given Cycle,
provided that no one else has previously had a score reach or exceed their
Magic Number during that cycle. 
If the rules specify that a player, other than the ScoreKeeper, gains a
winning condition as a result of having a certain number of points, the
scorekeeper may declare them to have won. If no player objects to the
Scorekeeper's declaration within three days, then the above-mentioned
player wins the Cycle and the winning condition is destroyed. (Otherwise,
the player may still resort to CWCFJ as outlined in Rule 8.) 
A Cycle-Win CFJ shall be judged INVALID if it claims a Winning Condition
which is subject to a declaration by the scorekeeper, made according to
the previous paragraph, and no player has objected to that declaration. 

If two or more voting players reach their Magic Number at exactly the same
time, as determined by the Scorekeeper, both shall have achieved a
Winning Condition.

If two or more voting players reach the Magic Number at substantially the
same time, and the Scorekeeper, in a good faith attempt, cannot determine
which of the players reached it first, then the players are deemed to have
reached their Magic Numbers at exactly the same time, and the preceding
paragraph shall apply. Making this determination is a duty of the
Scorekeeper. 
AHHA!

Amend Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle", by replacing sections f) and g) with the
following ENDHALVE-delimited text:

ENDHALVE
f) All players except the winner have their score halved.  The winner has
their score reset to zero.
g) All players receive A$ equal to the change in their score resulting
from the application of section e).
ENDHALVE

Amend Rule 8-2 "End of Cycle", by replacing sections i) and j) with the
following SIMPLE-delimited text:

SIMPLE
i) The cycle number is incremented.
SIMPLE

In Rule 8-2, "End of Cycle" relabel sections k, l, m and n to j, k, l and
m respectively.

In Rule 6-5-6, "Illuminatus", replace "5/6 times the Magic Number" with
"100 points less than eir Magic Number".

Any player may perform any of the following conversions as a public
action (where K is some positive integer):

(i) The conversion of K points into 2 K Ackadollars.
(ii) The conversion of 20 K Ackadollars into K points.

If Proposal 4053 was not accepted, then delete all text that follows this
sentence from this rule and then delete this sentence.  If Proposal 4053
was accepted, delete the preceding sentence then delete this sentence.

(iii) The conversion of K points into 50 K Mannna.
(iv) The conversion of 250 K Mannna into K points.
(v) The conversion of K Ackadollars into 20 K Mannna.
(vi) The conversion of 25 K Mannna into K Ackadollars.
