spoon-business: Joining, proosing

["Gavin Doig" <gmd@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I join B Nomic, under the name "uniquely identifying names". I make the following proposals of varying utility. (I'm somewhat puzzled by the fact that there seems to have been pregame discussion of changes to the starting rules that isn't reflected in the rules on the website, but I'm basing these on that.)

I express my doubts that any proposal can actually change the rules.

Oh, and I complain in advance about my Roster entry being incomplete...

Proposal: I wish you wouldn't say that.
Amend rule 4 by replacing "revisiable" with "revisable", and "differientiate" with "differentiate", if they appear there.
Amend rule 11 by replacing "Rules are revisiable" (or "Rule are revisable" if that is there instead) with "Rules are revisable objects".
Amend rule 8 by replacing "Excepting any text in the Rule" with "Excepting any text in this Rule".

Proposal: When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed.
Repeal rules 7 and 12.

Proposal: Our physical shells are rotting.
Remove the 3rd paragraph of rule 9.

Proposal: Strictly psychosomatic.
Amend rule 18 by appending the sentence "A Rule Change consists of the creation (enactment), modification (amendment), or deletion (repeal) of a rule."
Amend rule 19 by replacing the first sentence with "A proposal is a formal request for a set of Rule Changes or other changes to the game state."

Proposal: Say something once, why say it again?
Amend rule 22 by replacing "play continues normally; otherwise, play ceases" with "play continues normally".

Proposal: Did you never call? I waited for your call.
Amend rule 22 by replacing "the Administrator shall reset all Scores" with "all scores are immediately reset".
Amend rule 27 by replacing the current text with "Whenever a Player's score reaches or exceeds 1000 points, they are immediately awarded a Win."

Proposal: Nothing ever happens.
Amend rule 32 by appending the sentence "At that time all the Rule Changes and other changes in that proposal take place (if possible)."

Proposal: If he only gives the word.
Replace all instances of the word "proposal" (ignoring case) in the rules and everywhere else in the game with the word "proosal" (keeping the case of the original).
