spoon-business: Subliminal Proposal

["Harrison, Andrew" <andy.harrison@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of the proposals etc so far seem to be about correcting spelling errors
and discussion if X is a player or not. So, I thought I'd submit something
*completely* different...

Proposal: Subliminal Religious Indoctrination

If at any time a Player submits a proposal which will cause the creation or
alteration of a rule so that the rule would subsequently contain the text of
one or more verses(*) from a Recognised Religious Text(**), then that Player
shall secretly become a Humble Disciple.

Anytime before the close of voting on proposals, a Player may make an
Accusation of Heresy by accusing any other Player of being a Humble
Disciple, and present the evidence. If the Player is found to be Guilty of 
Heresy then the accuser receives a payment of 30 points.

If the proposal of a Humble Disciple is passed without the Humble Disciple
being Accused of Heresy, then the Humble Disciple shall claim to have
Preached to the Unbelievers and offer the proof. If their claim is accepted
then they have Achieved Enlightenment and are blessed with 30 points.

If a player is wrongly Accused of Heresy, or a Humble Disciple's Proposal
fails, then no further action is taken. A Player who is Accused of Heresy
may not then claim to have Preached to the Unbelievers and Achieved
Enlightenment if their Proposal subsequently passes.

(*)In the case that the Recognised Religious Text is not normally divided
into verses, then one or more complete sentences totaling fifteen or more
words shall be understood to constitute a verse.

(**)Recognised Religious Texts at this time are:
Christian Bible, New International Version.
Christian Bible, King James Version.
ISO/IEC 14882, Standard for the C++ Programming Language.
