Arggh. Chalk it up to being the new borg on the cube.

Please revise the four proposals I previously submitted to include the 
following nits that have been so graciously picked:

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

{BEGIN PROPOSAL A}
{TITLE: Currency}

Create a new rule with the following FOOBAR-A delimited text:

FOOBAR-A
There shall exist game entities known as "Nomic Dollars." The term Nomic 
Dollars is abbreviated as $N. Nomic Dollars may be assigned to other game 
entities. Nomic Dollars may only be created or destroyed by means 
explicitly stated in the rules of the game.

There shall be a game entity known as the Bank. No other game entity may be 
named "Bank" or "the Bank."

There shall exist a Dimension known as a Bank Account. The sole purpose of 
a Bank Account is to record the number of $N assigned to a game entity.

Each Player shall have a single Bank Account associated with that Player. 
No Player may have more than one Bank Account.

The Bank itself shall also have a single Bank Account, known as the Vault. 
No Player or other game entity may be named "Vault" or "the Vault." The 
Vault records the total number of $N that are not assigned to any other 
Bank Accounts.

Nomic Dollars may only be transferred between Bank Accounts by means 
explicitly stated in the rules of the game.

The Administrator will be responsible for accurately tracking the number of 
$N assigned to Bank Accounts.

Upon passage of this proposal, 100,000 $N will be created and assigned to 
the Vault, at which time this sentence will delete itself from the ruleset 
[[just for the sake of cleaning up the text]].

FOOBAR-A

{END PROPOSAL A}

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

{BEGIN PROPOSAL B}
{TITLE: Proposal Awards}

Create a new rule with the following FOOBAR-B delimited text:

FOOBAR-B
Upon the successful passage of a Proposal, a certain amount of $N will be 
transferred from the Vault to the Bank Account of the Player who proposed 
the successful Proposal. The amount transferred will be determined by a 
dice roll of 5d20. If the amount to be transferred exceeds the total amount 
in the Vault, then the Player will receive all the remaining $N in the 
Vault or zero $N if the Vault contains zero $N. (E.g. if the dice roll came 
up as a total of 87, then 87 $N would be transferred from the Vault to the 
Player's Bank Account. However, if the dice roll came up as a total of 87 
and the Vault only contained 45 $N, then 45 $N would be transferred from 
the Vault to the Player's Bank Account.)

The Proposal Award will be deemed complete when the Administrator 
acknowledges that e has recorded the appropriate changes to the Vault and 
the Player's Bank Account resulting from the transfer of $N between the 
accounts.

FOOBAR-B

{END PROPOSAL B}

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

{BEGIN PROPOSAL C}
{TITLE: Sharing the Wealth}

Create a new rule with the following FOOBAR-C delimited text:

FOOBAR-C
Nomic Dollars may be transferred from the Bank Account of one Player (known 
as the Donor) to the Bank Account of another Player (known as the 
Recepient). To initiate the transfer the Donor must request, in a Public 
Forum, the transfer a specific number of $N (up to the maximum amount of $N 
in the Donor's Bank Account and no more than that) from eir Bank Account to 
the Bank Account of the Recipient.

The Player Transfer will be deemed complete when the Administrator 
acknowledges that e has recorded the appropriate changes to the Donor's and 
Recipient's Bank Accounts resulting from the transfer of $N between the 
accounts.

FOOBAR-C

{END PROPOSAL C}

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

{BEGIN PROPOSAL D}
{TITLE: Victory By Monopoly}

Create a new rule with the following FOOBAR-D delimited text:

FOOBAR-D
If at any time any Player has all of the $N in circulation in eir Bank 
Account, that Player shall be given the title of "Grand Monopolist" and 
immediately awarded a number of points as calculated by the following 
formula: (1000-x) where x is the Player's current score.

FOOBAR-D

{END PROPOSAL D}
