spoon-business: Proposal


Let me know if any of this doesn't work.

{{
__A Fix for Glotmorf__

If proposal 561 passed, repeal the rule entitle _Insta-Rules_ and take from
Glotmorf all points e gained for the proposal's passing. If proposal 561
failed, give back to Glotmorf all points e lost for its failure.

[[Just a bit of cleanup.]]

Then, create the following rule:

{{ _Insta-Rules_

There exist objects called Insta-Rules. Insta-Rules must conform to the
following format:

{ It is { legal | illegal } to { { { throw at | give to | take from } {
players | grid locations | <specific player> | <specific grid location> } {
gremlins | beer cans | gnomes } } | { { enter | remain in | enter or remain
in } <specific grid location> [ without bouncing Elbonia-style ] } } }.

where { and } delimit a set from which one item must be chosen, or a member
of a set; [ and ] delimit optional text; and < and > delimit a category of
information to be filled in.

If an Insta-Rule says that a player may take an object from another player,
then the player in question may take that object if and only if e is in a
square consecutive to the one containing the player to be taken from, or
both players are in Limbo.

If an Insta-Rule forbids a player to perform a certain action, then e may
not perform that action.

If an Insta-Rule permits a player to perform a certain action, then e may
perform that action.

If an Insta-Rule forbids a player to remain in a certain square without
being thrown Elbonia-style, and a player occupies that square at the end of
an nweek, then that player is thrown at eir current location Elbonia-style.

If an Insta-Rule forbids a player to remain in a certain square, but does
not mention Elbonia-style, and a player occupies that square at the end of
an nweek, then that player is moved to a random square consecutive to eir
location. If this is impossible, e is moved to Limbo.

Insta-Rules are identified as such, and must be unique from other
currently-existing Insta-Rules. Insta-Rules take precedence over other
Insta-Rules created before them.

Each Player has an attribute called Insta-Ruler, with an initial value of 0.
At the beginning of each nweek, if a Player's Insta-Ruler is greater than 0,
it is decreased by 1.

Once per nweek, if a Player's Insta-Ruler is 5 or less, e can declare an
Insta-Ruling, which consists of one of the following:

1. the enactment of an Insta-Rule
2. the repeal of an existing Insta-Rule

Insta-Rulings are implemented at the end of the nweek; at that time, the
Insta-Ruler of the Player who made the Insta-Ruling is increased by 2.

}}
Give the aforementioned rule a Chutzpah of 5.

Give 3d6 points to Glotmorf. [['Cause it is eir rule, after all]]
}}
