Create a new rule:

__I've Got The Style It Takes__

{{
Once per nweek, a player may use eir Style Points to acquire Style Attributes.  The player must submit a message to the public forum indicating the Style Attribute(s) to be acquired.  

Once a Style Attribute has been recognized by the administrator, three points shall be deducted from the player's Style for each word in the Style Attribute.  The Style Attribute will be added to the player's listing in the player roster.

Players may not acquire Style Attributes already acquired by another player.  New Style Attributes must be unique.

Players may not use Style to purchase attributes that alter or misrepresent the game state, or are in uniquely identifying use in the rule set.  Players are not allowed to use Style points to purchase possession of game entities, or Titles that have been defined by the rules.  [[e.g. one can't purchase "has 1200 points" as an attribute, since it misrepresents the game state.]]

The Administrator may, at eir discretion, refuse to recognize any Style Attribute which has the potential to confuse, misrepresent, or alter the game state.  Style Attributes are for vanity purposes only.  

[[This allows players to make some use of Style points by adding vanity attributes to their listing on the player roster.  e.g. "Supreme Funk Lord Of Nomic", or whatever.  If we're going to have Style points, might as well use them to pretty ourselves up a bit.]]
