spoon-business: Football fixes and passing


A few proposals for your consideration:

PROPOSAL #1
===========

{{
__More Football Fixes__

Revise Rule 394, adding the sentence "This rule supercedes rule 301 in this regard" after the sentence "The player making the tackle immediately moves to the same location as the player being tackled."
}}

PROPOSAL #2
===========
{{
__Only running is boring III: Return of the Bean__

Create the following rule:
{{
__Pass! I'm open!__

If no player on eir team has already done so in the current nweek, the Player in posession of the Football may choose to Pass the Football. To make a Pass, a player announces eir intention to do so in a public forum, and indicates a Player who is playing football to recieve the Pass. If the indicated Player is able to recieve the Pass according to the rules, the Football is immediately placed in the posession of the recieving Player. There are two types of Passes: Forward Passes and Lateral Passes.

A Pass is a Forward Pass if and only if the recieving Player is closer to eir end-zone (measured using the x-coordinate) than the passing Player. The recieving Player for a Forward Pass must be within 7 units of the Player making the Pass. A Player may only make a Forward Pass if e is no closer to eir end-zone than the Line of Scrimmage for the current Drive.

All Passes which are not Forward passes are Lateral Passes. The recieving Player of a Lateral Pass must be within 4 units of the Player making the Pass.

[[ Please keep in mind on this proposal that it is intended NOT to have interceptions yet. We can add that next nweek or something.... hell, *you* could get the points for it by making the proposal yourself! ]]
