[Spoon-business] finance and such

A.
Glotmorf, do you still have the Pink Scarf?

B.
Dave:

1. Below it says I had six props passed. Are you not counting the Quote Prop?
I don't see why- they are not currently classified as Unauthored.

2. I believe that the game is moving a little less slowly to hell than before.
R10 is still there, despite it being unnecessary and useless. It still has a
high Chutzpah. Unless I'm missing something, the only rules above it are the
ones that absolutely need to be, like the Chutzpah rule. In fact, before that
prop passed the game was in an inconsistent state where multiple Rules claimed
to take priority over all other Rules (including the one that specifies what
happens in such a conflict).

3. After my Appellate Judge prop, there are many of us now who can rule
on all CFIs assigned to the Upper House since the beginning of nweek 59.
Can you list these CFIs and state who's an Appellate Judge for them?

4. "changing gender more than twice in any nweek" was taken off
the LOGAS when I changed the Gender Rule. (prop 1766) The Roster
should also give BvS the stylish title specified in R154.B.6.

C.
I propose the following:

{{__Kill the BNS__

Change the text of Rule 21.A.2 to the following ~~~ delimited text:

~~~
A.2. Tildex
There exists a unit of currency called the Tilde. "Tildex" is a plural of
"Tilde". A number of Tildex may be referred to as Y~, ~Y, ~ Y, or Y ~, where
Y is the number. [[Y not??]]

There exists an entity known as "the Great Tilde Basin and Punctuation
Exchange, Somewhat Limited", which may be referred to as the Basin. The
Basin may create or destroy Tildex, but only as specified by the Rules.
When the rules dictate that a player shall receive Tildex without
specifying a source, the Basin creates them and gives them to the Player.
When the rules dictate that a player loses or has Tildex taken from em
without a destination, the Basin takes them and destroys them.

10000~ may be referred to as a Myriad. (G* 10000)~ may be denoted "G??",
where G is a real number.

All Players should be able to easily find out the amount of Tildex they possess
by consulting an available public display.

On entering the game, a Player receives 500~.
~~~

Change Rule 625.C.3 to the following ?? delimited text:

??
C.3. Ministry of Twiddles

There exists a Ministry of Twiddles. The Minister of Twiddles may be referred
to as "Twiddler".

Twiddler has the power and responsibility to handle all business related to
the Basin, but only as specified by the Rules. Eir responsibilities include,
but are not limited to, currency exchange, maintaining bank balances and
maintaining players' balances of currency, if any of those exist.

Twiddler shall be given 50~ at the beginning of each nweek.
??

Remove all BNS, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and The Bank from the game.

Throughout the entire Ruleset, replace the text "BNS" with the text "~".
