The administrator shall be awarded 10 points per turn for competently fulfilling his or her duties.

Proposers shall be awarded, upon the passage or failure of their Proposals, points equal to (proposal number-(total inactive proposals numbered less than proposal number+total withdrawn proposals numbered less than proposal number)-291)(favorable votes/total non-neutral votes), rounded to the nearest integer.

Amend Rule 317 as follows:

Upon a Player being declared the Winner other than through the impossiblity of further play, that Player is credited with a Win, all non-Win Player attributes including scores are reset to their initial states as appropriate, and play continues.

The Player attribute "Wins" is the total number of individual games won by the corresponding player, including games of Berserker Nomic, Berserker Nomic's direct predecessors, or later incarnations of Berserker Nomic that contain this rule.

The list of all former Players who have Wins greater than zero and all current Players along with each of these Players' corresponding Wins is the All Time Berserker Standings. The All Time Berserker Standings shall be ordered by descending Wins. All ties will be noted as such.

The Administrator shall be elected during the first turn of the game. The election shall follow standard procedures used in proposal voting. If a game has started without election of an Administrator, the game cannot continue until one has been elected. Those elected to adinistrate may decline, and if they choose to do so elections shall continue to be held, with new votes being cast each time, until an Administrator has been chosen.

Amend Rule 202, paragraph 2 to read:

Any Player may make a new Proposal during the proposal and debate period. The duration of the proposal and debate period shall be 204 hours (8.5 days).

It is possible for players may be burnt at the stake. For a player, hereafter the Provocateur, to be burned at the stake someone, called the Inciter, must make a public statement including nothing more than "I can't believe what X did! It was an outrage! There outta be a law! Since there isn't one, X should be punished by The Mob." where X refers unambiguously to one player.

For the next 72 hours, players may make statements to the effect that they join The Mob. At the end of this time, if three or more players, excluding the Provocateur and the Inciter, joined the mob then, 24 hours later, the Provocateur is burned at the stake. During this 24 hour period, a player who has not participated in the above process, referred to as The Crowd Shamer, may make a public statement of more than 20 lines outlining exactly why each member of The Mob should be ashamed of themselves and how "What would your Mama think?" if she saw this. It is considered good form for The Crowd Shamer to be inventive.

If no Crowd Shamer rose up to protect the Provocateur, the Provocateur is burned at the stake at the appointed hour. This causes them to lose 50 points. If a Crowd Shamer defended the Provocateur, then the Provocateur is not burned at the stake.

Strike Rule 222 and renumber Rule 352 to 222.

Replace "may" in the first sentence of Rule 357 with "to".

If it seems that (except by the application of this rule) further play is impossible, or the legality of a move cannot be determined with finality, or a move appears equally legal and illegal, then any player may submit a RFJ which points this out. If an RFJ of this type is substantially similar to a previous one, which is either not yet ruled on or has been ruled True (in the opinion of the Judge(s) who are assigned it), then the new RFJ shall be ruled False.

If this RFJ is true and cannot be appealed then the player who requested it may submit a Screaming For Help Document which describes modifications to be made to the ruleset. Unless two players object to the Screaming For Help Document within three days, it is accepted and the modifications it describes are applied to the ruleset. Any Screaming For Help Document may be objected to for any reason. The modifications" of a Screaming For Help Document are not "rule-changes", and as such do not require a vote (merely silence), and may effect any rule(s) regardless of their mutability.

If the Screaming For Help Document is successfully objected to, another may be issued by the RFJ's Complainant until one is accepted. Alternately, they can abandone the effort if they feel there are too many political obstacles to its implementation.

When an Screaming For Help Document is accepted, its author is credited with a win and the game continues.

This rule takes precedence over every other rule.

SAFEQUICK

The author of a passing Proposal may submit a Revised Version of the text of the Proposal that corrects typographical errors, although such a revision shall not change the effect of the Proposal. The Revised Version must be publicly submitted within the following turn. Players who voted upon the original Proposal have 72 hours to submit their vote upon the Revised Version to the Administrator. Points are not affected by voting upon a Revised Version. If a Revised Version receives a majority vote, it shall be considered the text passed by the original Proposal.

Any player not voting in the affirmative for the proposal that creates this Rule shall be fined 10 points.

Add paragraph D to Rule 319/0:

D. Players in Limbo must remain so for no less than 48 hours.

I must admit: I am an ubber-shitty judge. Judegments I've passed tend to be unpopular, at the very least. For the good of Berserker Nomic, I shouldn't be a Judge while under the influence of mind altering farmasuetickles. For one thing, I am prone to rash behavior. Witness the following:

I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo. I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo. I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo. I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo. I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo. I'm out of LImbo. I'm in Limbo.

This is going to mean a lot of action for a Saturday. I derive more enjoyment from making the game do weird and interesting things than I do from trying to understand what fools such as I are doing.

Players selected to serve in the Judiciary may decline their appointment with no penalty if their desire to decline is made public before they accrue a penalty.

On July 4, 2076, this rule shall, for that one day, be replaced by a patriotic display of fireworks.

The enitre text of this message is a new prop.

People like me should not be allowed to serve on a Judiciary, but we probably will anyway.

Nick Osborn shall henceforth be known, in the game and out, as a "tasteful shrubbery."

Upon the passage into rule of this proposal, (a) and (b) below shall occur.

(a) Each player who voted in the affirmative for this rule's passage shall recieve 1000 points.

(b) This rule shall replace itself with a tasteful shrubbery, to be purchased and donated by Nick Osborn, or, if there no player known as Nick Osborn, by the player known as "a tasteful shrubbery."

Amend Rule 222/2 to read:

Proposers receive (20)(favorable votes on the Proposal/total non-neutral votes on the Proposal) points, rounded to the nearest integer, for each adopted Proposal.

There exists a homunculus, hereafter known as Osborn's Demon, which posesses the right to vote, during the ordained voting period, for any and every proposal up for voting.

Osborn's Demon shall vote in the following manner:

If there is a single player whose score in points is strictly less than those of every other player, then Osborn's Demon shall vote as that single player does.

If there are two or more players whose scores are equal, while still less than those of every other player, then Osborn's Demon shall vote as do a simple majority of those players whose scores are minimal. If those players do not vote in such a way as to determine a simple majority of any one vote, then Osborn's Demon shall vote with the plurality of those players.

If all players' scores are equal, Osborn's Demon shall vote as in the previous paragraph.

Players in limbo shall not be considered eligible when determining minimal scores in the paragraphs above.

Osborn's Demon shall vote in a manner consistent with these rules, on every proposal up for vote. The Demon's votes shall be considered as cast immediately after the player or players posessing minimal score cast their vote(s). If there is one player with minimal score, and that player auto-abstains, the Demon shall also auto-abstain. If there is more than one player with minimal score, the Demon shall vote as above as soon as a plurality among those with minimal score is determined. If no such plurality is determined before such time as auto-abstentions are cast, the Demon shall auto-abstain.

For the purposes of vote tabulation and voting period length determination, Osborn's Demon is considered an "eligible voter."

This rule takes precedence over all rules concerned with voting.

Proposals that, should they pass, would reward or penalize players voting on them, are prohibited.

The following characters:

[ ] { }

are considered "reserved characters" when appearing in proposals and rules in ways defined below.

Brackets:

Excepting any text prior to and including this sentence in this rule, any text appearing within doubled square brackets ("[[" and "]]") shall be considered "comment" text. Comment text shall not have the force of rule; its purpose is solely elucidative or demonstrative.

Braces:

Excepting any text prior to and including this sentence in this rule, any text appearing within double braces ("{{" and "}}") shall be considered "self-deleting" text. As soon as a proposal containing self-deleting text is passed into rule, the following shall happen, in the following order: (1) Any self-deleting text in the rule shall have its effect. (2) Any self-deleting text, along with its respective braces, shall be deleted from the rule.

[[This provides a regular way in which to add self-removing clauses to rules.]]

This rule takes precedence over all other rules governing the texts of rules.

Replace "impossiblity" in Rule 317/1 with "impossibility".

Replace "privelaged" and "direcly" in Rule 326/2 with "privileged" and "directly", respectively.

Replace "posess" in Rule 346/1 with "possess".

Replace "compontent" in Rule 347/1 with "component".

Players sending votes on Proposals to nomic@iastate.edu shall be fined (4(ln x) + 1) points, rounded to the nearest point, where x is the number of Proposals on which votes were sent to the list.

1. Add "Foreign Minister" after "Administrator" to the set of Offices in Rule 229.

2. Create the following rule from the V.M.MOLOTOV delimited text:

V.M.MOLOTOV

The Foreign Minister is an elected Official whose duties consist of:

1. Representing Berserker Nomic in dealings with other nomics and in metanomics and nomic organizations of which Berserker Nomic is a member.

2. Submitting a turnly report on relevant matters to the mailing list.

3. Proposing treaties and agreements as necessary.

The Foreign Minister shall receive the standard salary for each full turn he/she holds Office.

V.M.MOLOTOV

Upon a Case becoming unappealable, Judges having ruled in accord with the final ruling on the case shall each receive 3 points iff the final ruling is either TRUE or FALSE.

A hearing is defined as an informal round of voting on a given statement. These votes shall be case, collected, and tabulated in a manner consistent with the rules for proposal voting at the time of the call for a hearing, except for rule 305, which is considered null for the purposes of hearing vote tabulation.

A hearing may be called at any time by any player, so long as that player also presents a statement on which to vote. Said player may also restrict allowed responses to the statement, i.e. allow only "x" and "y" as responses. If responses are restricted thusly, only allowed responses, and "ABSTAIN" responses shall be counted when tabulating votes, and any response which is not specified as allowed shall be counted as an "ABSTAIN" response.

The Administrator shall receive and tabulate votes for all hearings.

The response which receives the most number of votes shall be considered the result of the hearing. In the case of a tie, the result shall be "UNDECIDED."

Hearings may also be called as part of rule-governed actions. [[Rules may contain clauses which require hearings to be held.]] The results of hearings may be used by rules which call for the hearings, in whatever fashion necessary.

A crime is defined as any game action, taken by a player, or resulting from a rule passed by a player, or from a proposal authored by a player, which is one of the possible results of a given hearing. To be a crime, the game action, and the appropriate statement defining the hearing for which the game action is one possible result, must be defined in a rule.

A player is considered guilty of a crime if the results of a hearing (whose statement is the statement listed in the crime's defining rule) are the same as the game action identified with that hearing in the crime's defining rule.

A crime may be accompanied by a punishment, which may be any legal game action. If a crime defines a punishment, and a player is found guity of that crime, the punishment defined by that crime shall be applied to the guilty player.

Amend Rule 309, paragraph 1, section 3 to read:

"3. The informal proposal must receive a two-thirds majority of favorable votes from eligible voters if any player requests a vote on the matter. If no such request is made within 36 hours of the informal proposal, said proposal is considered to have passed."

Elected Offices shall be filled by an election to be held concurrently with the voting period of every fifth turn, or by a special election in the case that an elected Office becomes vacant before then.

Players may publicly nominate any consenting Player, including him/herself, for any elected Office. Nominations close with the start of the election, either at the start of the Proposal voting period of every fifth turn, 48 hours after an office becomes vacant, or 48 hours after an Officeholder loses a Vote of Confidence, as appropriate.

If no nominations are received for an elected Office by the time nominations have closed, the current Officeholder retains the position. In the absence of a current Officeholder for an elected Office, the Administrator fills the Office until the next scheduled election.

The nominee receiving a majority of votes for each elected Office shall hold that Office during the next term. If no nominee for an elected Office receives a majority of votes cast, the nominee (or nominees, in the case of a tie) receiving the fewest votes is removed from the ballot, unless so doing would leave fewer than two remaining nominees, and a new vote is taken to fill that elected Office using standard Proposal voting procedures. This process is repeated until the elected Office is filled.

Add as paragraph 2 to Rule 229:

"Players may resign from any Offices they hold at any time."

Any player may call for a Vote of Confidence on any elected Official at any time except a) during an election to fill the Office in question, and b) during another Vote of Confidence on the same Official. Votes of Confidence are conducted using standard Proposal voting procedures.

If a simple majority of votes cast are negative, the Players have lost confidence in the Officeholder and an election is immediately called to fill the elected Office.

Strike paragraph 2 of Rule 305/1.

Strike the following sentence from rule 309.

2. New Players may not propose or serve as Judges until they have been players for the entirety of one turn.

{{Add property as a Player attribute.}}

Property is any game-defined object that is both ownable and tradable. Only Players and the game may possess property. Public property consists of property owned by Berserker Nomic rather than any individual Player.

Auctions may be held to sell property. Players wishing to bid on auctioned property must submit bids within 48 hours of the start of the auction. Possession of auctioned property is transferred to the highest bidder upon receipt of payment. Any game entity may auction any or all of its property at any time, and may set the starting price. If a starting price is not specified, the starting price will be 0.01 Subers.

The Treasury holds all public property and funds, including, but not limited to, the proceeds collected from fines, taxes, tariffs, the sale of land, and the creation of new Subers.

The Treasury may not go into debt, but will instead issue more Subers to cover the game's expenses.
