Liars, and how to deal with them

If an Agent makes a statement in a public forum implying the truth of a
statment X, when e already knows statement X to be false, then e is a
Liar. If an RFJ is submitted, and said Agent is found to be a Liar, then e
shall be docked 5 points.
If said Agent makes a public apology (apologizes in a public
forum) before the Judgement is made, then e will be docked only 3 points
instead of 5.

Motion Reform

1. Amend R120/0 to read:

"The Agent who submits a Motion is its owner. An Agent may never own more 
than ten live Motions of any one type, and may never submit more than ten 
Motions of any one type in a single day; otherwise an Agent may make a new 
Motion of any type at any time.

New Motions are live and active by default. Motions are revisable. Unless 
the Rules allow other Agents to do so, only the owner of a live Motion may 
alter its parts, or activate, deactivate, or withdraw it. Withdrawn Motions 
are dead. Only live Motions may be altered or be Under Consideration. No 
Motion may be altered while Under Consideration.

Each Motion is either Approvable or Unilateral, and Primary or Secondary. 
Approvable Motions are subject to voting or unanimous consent, as per the 
Rules. Unilateral Motions need no such approval to take effect. Primary 
Motions are assigned serial numbers by type, while Secondary Motions are 
assigned serial numbers as a group.

2. Add as the first sentence of R117/0:

"Proposals are Primary Approvable Motions which are not subject to 
unanimous consent."

3. Repeal R221/0.

4. Delete the second paragraph of R222/0.

5. Amend the first sentence of R225/0 to read:

'Only votes equivalent to "yes" or "no" are counted toward adoption of 
Approvable Motions.'

6. Amend R228/0 to read:

"The Administrator shall, within a reasonable time after receiving a new 
Motion, assign it a serial number in the sequence appropriate to its type. 
A new Motion is not officially recognized until it is assigned a serial 
number."

7. Amend R229/0 to read:

"An Approvable Motion is adopted iff it is subject to and receives 
unanimous consent, or at the close of voting on it, its passage ratio 
exceeds one-half. If the Rules regarding a motion establish a different 
passage ratio, it takes precedence over the passage ratio herein.

Orders, Motive or Legislative, in an adopted Motion shall be executed in a 
timely fashion by the appropriate Officers. Only Motions defined in the 
Rules have effect if adopted."

8. Repeal R223/0.

9. Insert "Approvable" before every instance of "Motion" in R230/0.

10. Amend the first sentence of R234/0 to read:

"A Request for Judgment is a Primary Unilateral Motion."

and replace the last sentence with:

"A Request for Judgment is dead once a Judgment has been issued on it."

11. Amend the second sentence of R210/0 to read:

"Motions to Add are Secondary Approvable Motions."

Motion to Amend Trivially

1. Create a rule entitled "Motion to Amend Trivially" with the following 
text:

"Motions to Amend Trivially are Secondary Approvable Motions adoptable only
through unanimous consent, and fail if unanimous consent is not given. A
Rule may be unsubstantially amended if a Motion to Amend Trivially naming
that Rule is adopted. Motions to Amend Trivially may never become Ballot
Issues.

The Motive Order corresponding to an adopted Motion to Amend Trivially
directs the Administrator to make appropriate changes to the Rules."

2. Amend the second sentence of R230/0 to read:
 
"N-unanimous consent on a Motion is granted if no eligible voters object to 
the Motion within time N after it is recognized."

3. Wherever the phrase "unanimous consent" appears in R210, replace it with 
the phrase "one day unanimous consent".
