4. Any Nomic not listed in section 3 of this rule is fictious and shall be dealt with and spoken of as such.

As Mr Simpson so eloqunelty pointed out last turn, we are in the
midst of a crisis in our fair game of Nomic - people can submit
as many Proposals as their heart desires! I would like the lawlessness
and anarchy inherent in this state of affairs by proposing the following
rule:
1) When calling for Proposals, the Chairperson shall specify the number
of Proposals that shall be permissible from each Proposing Player.
2) ANy Player who exceeds the permissible number of Proposals
shall be fined 2 Points per excessive Proposal.

1. Change the second section of rule #320 be changed from this:
"If a rule is repealed and re-enacted, it receives the number of the proposal to reenact it. If a rule is amended or transmuted, it receives the number of the proposal to amend or transmute it. If an amendment is amended or repealed, the entire rule of which it is a part receives the number of the proposal to amend or repeal the amendment. "
to this:
"If a rule is repealed and re-enacted, it receives the number of the proposal to reenact it. If a rule is amended or transmuted, it's number is appended by an amendment number of 1. If a rule already has an amendment number, that amendment number is increased by one. If an amendment is amended or repealed, the entire rule of which it is a part receives an amendment number. If the entire rule already has an amendment number, that amendment number is increased by one.
The amendment number is separated by the rule number by a "/" character.
If a proposal which passes changes the number of a rule, paragraph 2 is not followed, instead the numbering is ruled by the passed proposal."

Mr. Simpson has already shown a hole in Rule #316. This hopefully should close it.
1. Change section 3 from "Each weapon gets a serial number, which must be posted in the message when the weapon is used. " to "Each weapon gets a serial number, which must be posted in the message when the weapon is used. A player may only use a weapon which they own. Weapons can not be lent or borrowed."
