Shelve. You forgot to say what n starts as. As it is now, I could make 
a good case for this rule undefining everyone's score next nweek. 
Again. That's bad.

Yes

Shelve. It's a nice idea, but it has two flaws: 1) you provide no 
method for becoming unjammed, and 2) I don't like adding bits about one 
rule in a different rule unless necessary. There's no reason why 
Jamming needs to be in rule 301. If Jamming just meant Radar=0, the 
same effect would be produced, but if we ever decided to repeal 
Jammers, it'd all be in that one rule.

Yes, although in general I dislike these sorts of lists. If we plan on 
adding lots of attributes, lists are the easier way to go, but if we 
instead plan on creating lots of objects with preexisting properties, 
having each object definition include mass and whatnot is much easier.

Yes

No. Chaos is at the heart of B Nomic; if we did unpleasant things to 
everyone who accidentally caused it, we'd all be screwed.

On the other hand, I do think we should be throwing around 
Respect/Disrespect props much more often - the system does no good if 
we don't use it.

> Proposal 1475/1: Societies get charters (Orc In a Spacesuit)
No. This will get ugly if my prop passes.

> Proposal 1476/0: Daddy's gotta take your keys away now... (Glotmorf)
No. I think I've mentioned my dislike of rules that punish specific 
players.

> Proposal 1477/1: Free Trade v1.0 (Orc In a Spacesuit)
Shelve. I think I see some problems here; it's gonna take me some time 
to verify that they actually will cause problems and come up with any 
sort of solution.

> Proposal 1478/0: Breaking Nomics (Glotmorf)
Yes

> Proposal 1482/0: Ahm Not Thayt Thunk! (Orc In a Spacesuit)
Shelve

> Proposal 1483/0: Movement (Orc In a Spacesuit)
Shelve. Too long for me to check it all for leaks right now.

> Proposal 1484/0: Disrespect Orc (Baron von Skippy)
No. No Double Jeopardy.

> Proposal 1485/0: Disrespect BvS (bd)
Yes. Not so much for the hostility itself, as for letting that 
hostility spill over into our game.
