[Spoon-business] something constructive

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, enough ranting, I'm gonna do something constructive now.
Dave, I do all this to reduce your headaches.

I make the following proposal:
{{__Bailing the Water, Not Fixing the Hull__
Deactivate Rule 946, __B Nomic Stock Exchange__
[[I think it's patched up, but nobody's using it pretty much, and I still 
think it's a minefield.]]

Deactivate Rule 1077, __Mining The Grid__
[[Fix it up Glotmorf, you have the fixings of something real good here.  
Just not yet.  This fixes the 'spend 70 BNS to destroy just about anything' 
problem']]

Repeal Rule 6, __Game Definitions__
[[This gets rid of the 'everything must have uniquely identifying names' 
problem; those definitions are flawed anyway, and by being #6 breaks the 
rules about numbers.
This, by the way is another one that only Wonko and I voted against.  Must 
not rant, must not rant....]]

If any changes to the charters of any societies were made between the 
submitting and and passing of this proposal, undo those changes and any 
results of them. [[I'm basically freezing societies from right when I submit 
it to when these safeguards take place]]

Remove all members of Wonko's Slaves, except Wonko.  If any change of points 
or BNS happened as a result of membership in Wonko's Slaves, undo those 
changes.

Remove all text in the charter of The Secret Mookies after and including the 
first instance of "Members of The Secret Mookies named Wonko" in that 
charter.  Return to Wonko any points and BNS transferred solely as a result 
of that removed section.

Create the following rule:
{{__Bureaucracratic Deadlock__{*(Society), 6*}
Society charters may not be changed, except by proposal or administarial 
bookeeping .  This rule takes precedence over any rule that would allow 
society charters to be changed by any other method than the two stated in 
the previous sentence.  [[Repeal this once societies get fixed]]
}}

Create the following rule:
{{__These things matter__{*(Vote), 12*}
No other rule or proposal can modify, change, add, remove, regulate, or 
discount any votes for Unauthored Proposals.  Each player, and only players, 
get exactly one vote, which is fully under eir control, for Unauthored 
Proposals.  Unauthored Proposals are deemed to have signifigance, and the 
true feeling of the players should be allowed to be expressed on them.  
[[This gets rid of Hands, Drunkeness, and Mind Tricks for Declarations of 
(Dis)Respect, Ministerial No-Confidence, and anything else we make 
Unauthored.]]
}}
}}
[[End of proposal]]

That should put a stop to some craziness.

I also leave Wonko's Slaves, if I am in it, which I doubt.

[[Oh Glotmorf?  I changed my mind _somewhat_ about your Saga prop.  I still 
think it has too much overhead, but I do believe that we should have an easy 
way to transverse all the proposals that contain BNomic History (props with 
in-game storyline included).  I've got some ideas, but I think we should 
work together on this one, and we should split the points from the vote if 
nothing else.  Can you get on IRC?]]
