             Proposals for Voting on in Year One, Week Thirty-Four
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 218 - Looking Down the Back of the Sofa [Other, Multiple]

Add the following paragraph to Rule 106 (Proposal Submission):-

  "The email containing submitted Proposals should have a subject line of
   'MN: Proposals'. If it does not have this subject line, your Proposals
   may be considered invalid."
   
Add the following paragraph to Rule 200 (How to Vote):-

  "The email containing submitted Votes should have a subject line of
   'MN: Votes'. If it does not have this subject line, your Votes may be
   considered invalid."

{
  Speaker's Comments:
  
  There'll be far less chance of me losing Votes and Proposals if I can
  just do a "Sort by Subject Line" to find them at the end of each Week,
  rather than cutting and pasting them into a file.
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 219 - Drawing a Line [Other, Multiple]

1. Odd one out. [Amendment]

In Rule 1059, add the following entry in the table in the appropriate place:

	"Northern       -   NT"

2. Doesn't he look pink? [Enactment]

Upon Enactment of this Rule, Kevan (for it was e) shall forfeit twenty
Kudos points. This Rule shall then Repeal itsef.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 220 - Modified Colours [Amendment, Multiple]

1. How did you do that? [Amendment]

In Rule 1001 (The Game State Document), amend the Move format to read:-

"           <Name>    : <Move> (<Line> via:<Line>,<Line>) [<Action>] 
    
   Where <Name> is the name of the Player making the Move, <Move> is a valid
   Move, <Line> via<Line>,<Line> is the resulting Line of the Move
   with the route taken if a change of Lines has been made and
   <Action> is an optional Action performed by the Player. Any Action
   shall be enclosed in square brackets. Only Actions defined by Rules
   are valid. If no Action is to be performed by the Player, the
   square brackets are not to be written.

   Eg: If a player's previous move was to Holborn (CN) and e moves to
   Euston with a LV of 4, then eir move would be:

	Rushton:	Euston (VC via:CN,NT) [Action]
"
{ Comment:
	Remove ",NT" from example if previous proposal fails.
}

2. No, I con't see that one... [Amendment]

In Rule 1059, replace paragraph:

"
   When a Player makes a Move, e should state which Line the Station e is
   Moving to rests on. If e Moves to an Interchange, e should nominate a
   Line of eir choice from those available.
"

with:

"
   When a Player makes a Move, e should state which Line the Station e
   is Moving to rests on. If e changes Lines during the Move then the
   Lines of each part of the journey should be stated. If e Moves to
   an Interchange, e should nominate a Line of eir choice from those
   available.
"

{Comments : This is a modified version of the Colours idea. Modifying
 what Grimace said:

"Depending what people think of as the effects of line codes, I think
 this one could be very interesting. Could require a bit more effort
 in planning routes, and theres plenty of scope for weird line
 code-related moves :) ..."
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 221 - Power Failure! [Enactment]

On eir turn, any player may perform the post-move action [Power Failure! (<name
of line(s)>)] for any number of lines at a cost of two red tokens per line
specified. As a result of this action, any active player currently at a station
on one of the specified lines is forced to play "Pass" and eir LV is reduced to
zero. No player may move on to or via any one of the specified lines on eir
next turn.

This rule over-rides any other rule that would make a move of "Pass" illegal.

{comment: self-explanatory, vindictive, need I say more?}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 222 - Keep a Level Playing Field [Amendment]

Amend the appropriate rule* concerning multiple games by adding the following
sentences at a suitable point*:

"If there is more than one game currently in progress, any new player may join
which game e chooses. However, in the interests of balance, the speaker may
intervene and either elect which game the new player must join, or restrict eir
choice. In this instance, the speaker is required to explain eir decision, and
if the new player disputes it, e may raise a Call For Judgment."

* 'appropriate rule' and 'suitable point' to be defined by speaker if the
proposal passes.

{Comment: we don't want too much nannying, but we don't want one game to become
too popular at the expense of another, do we?}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Proposal 223 - Everlasting Fame, Border Control, Inactivism [Amendment]

In Rule 1047 (A New Game), replace "Token counts, Line Velocities and Kudos
scores" with "Token counts and Line Velocities".

Also replace "When a new Game begins:-" with "When a new Game begins, the
following changes are made to the state of that Game and its Players:-"

And "The Player to the first Turn is selected at random by the Speaker."
with "The Player to the first Turn is selected at random by the Speaker,
from the set of Active Players for that Game."
