spoon-business: Proposal to clean up scoring

[Jörg Rathlev <joerg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Scoring is currently a problem because the Administrator has an
infinite number of points, which means he'll win the game by rule 27
as soon as he becomes a player. (On the other hand, rule 21 defines
that the Administrator "controls" the points, not that e owns them.)

The other problem is that the "score" is, if the rule is interpreted
literally, not related to the number of points in one's posession.


I make the following proposal:

\begin{proposal}
\title{Clean up scoring}

Modify the text of rule 21 to the following:

"Players may own points. The number of points in the posession of a
player shall be known as eir score.

The owner of one or more points may transfer any or all points in eir
posession to another legal owner by posting to the public forum.

Whenever a rule states that a player receives points, the number of
points in eir posession shall be increased accordingly; whenever a
rule states that a players loses points, the number of points in eir
posession shall be lowered accordingly, but it shall never become less
than zero.

New players initially do not posess any points."

\end{proposal}
