[Spoon-business] NOW it's a reset

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

The phrase "Awarded a Win" is used almost completly throughout the ruleset; 
players don't "get wins" or "recieve a win", generally.  While I was making 
the reset be more of a reset, I figured I'd tighten up the rules on winning 
and give Awarded a Win special meaning.

I propose the following:
{{__From some other beginning's end__
Replace Rule 22 witht the following:
{{
A. Definition
The event of a player being "Awarded a Win" has a special meaning, and only 
happens as explicity stated by the rules.  Such an event does not mean or 
imply a change to the value of that player's Wins.
Each player has a Wins value, which is an integer and is by default 0.

B. No Loopholes

The Wins of players and other objects cannot be changed except as described 
in this section of this rule.

If the Wins of any player or any other object is for some reason changed as 
the result of something other than this rule, then it is changed back to 
it's previous value.

C. Reset
In the event of a player being "Awarded a Win", the following happens:
* The rule {{ __No Win For You__ {* Win, Layer 3, Chutzpah 9 *} Wins may not 
be awarded.  Thie rule takes precedence over all other rules.}} is created.
* The Score, BNS, Debt, Charm, Activity, Style, Entropy, BAC, 
Mischievousness, Entropy, Force, and RU's of all objects (including players 
and societies) except the Bank that have them is set to 0.
*The Gremlin Fund is then given 150 points.
* All grid objects are destroyed, except the following: Players, the Yeti, 
Gremlins, the Football, Bonus Boxes, the Casino, the Tower of Babel, and all 
Temples.
* An Apocalypse occurs.
* All Bonus Boxes are moved to a random location.
* The Respect and Wins of the player who was Awarded a Win are both 
increased by 1.
* If possible, play then continues normally.
}}

Change the Layer of rule 22 to 3.

Repeal rule 851 (Circuit breaker; incorporated in Rule 22.)

In Rule 1248, replace "The player may not Win in the instant before this 
occurs" with "A player may not be Awarded a Win if eir Points are 250 
greater than what it was at the beginning of the nweek."

In Rule 1282, replace "and a Win" with "and is Awarded a Win".
[[Even though I disagree with players winning just because they've been here 
for a while, and triggering such things based on real time could make things 
screwy, like if someone is awarded a win while the Circuit Breaker's on, but 
may as well make the stuff compatible.]]
