Why, he starts running around hugging and snuggling all his little friends 
like mad, of course!

I propose the following:
{{__Barney gets caffinated__
In Rule 1186, __Lake Caffeine__, change "If any player enters Lake Caffeine" 
to If any player or Barney enters Lake Caffeine". [[I'm leaving him out of 
the 'Dead' part on purpose.]]

In Rule 1143, __Barney__,
-change "At the beginning of each nweek, Barney moves three spaces in the 
direction of the nearest speeder to eir location."
to
"At the beginning of each nweek, or at the beginning of each nday if Barney 
is Wired, Barney moves three times, each time one spaces in the direction of 
the nearest speeder that is not Snuggled to eir location.".
-change "If Barney reaches the location of the nearest Speeder to eir 
location, Barney does not move any further that nweek, and instead gives 
that Speeder a Hug.  When a Speeder is Hugged by Barney, it loses 20 points 
of integrity."
to
"If Barney enters a location that contains an Airspeeder, including any 
Snuggled Airspeeders that were moved there as a result of Barney's movement, 
or if Barney would move but is already in the location of an Airspeeder that 
is not Snuggled, Barney hugs all Speeders in that location.  If Barney is 
not Wired, e does not move any further that nweek.  If Barney is Wired, and 
he has not yet moved the normal amount of spaces e is supposed to [[In other 
words, e hasn't moved the 3 for the day under normal Wired conditions]], 
Barney then Snuggles all Airspeeders in eir location, giving thtme the 
attibute Snuggled, then moves again as dictated by the rules.  When Barney 
changes location, all Snuggled Airspeeders in Barney's old location are 
moved to Barney's new location.

Airspeeders cease to be Snuggled when Barney ceases to be Wired, or when the 
Airspeeder ceases to be in the location of Barney, or if Barney becomes On 
Fire.  When a Speeder is Hugged by Barney, it loses 20 points of integrity, 
unless it is Snuggled, in which case it loses only 10 integrity.  If there 
are no Speeders that are not in Barney's location, e does not move."

Append to the 2nd sentence of Section C, Rule 1071, __Airspeeders__, "and 
the Airspeeder is not Snuggled"

Append to the 1st sentence of Section D, Rule 1071, __Airspeeders__, "if the 
Airspeeder is not Snuggled"
}}

You guys are setting up ways to counter Barney; let's make him something to 
be feared on the odd chance he ends up in the vicinity in of the Lake.

Essentially, rather than lumbering along and simply hugging the speeders, 
he's now gonna go hyper, running along and grabbing all the speeders he can 
find for one big group hug.  And you'll be stuck in the hug, too.  Suddenly 
makes the Improbability Drive much more appealing. }D
