[Spoon-business] Props!

[Zarpint Jeremy Cook <mcfoufou@xxxxxxxxx>]

I had three props fail last week. I need some really good, sensible, and
appealing ones now. Since this is Nomic and I am Zarpint the Incomplete, I have
these five instead.



I propose the following:
{{__Fix the Contradictions__

In r10, delete the sentence "This Rule shall always take precedence over all
other Rules."

In r15, change "Strict: In a Strict poll, each Voter gets exactly one Vote; this
sentence takes precedence over any rule that would allow players to cast
multiple votes on a Poll." to "Strict: In a Strict poll, each Voter gets exactly
one Vote; this sentence takes precedence over any rule other than Rule 33 that
would allow players to cast multiple votes on a Poll."

In r129, change "This rule takes precedence over all other rules." to "This rule
takes precedence over all other rules except Rule 33."

In r497, change "A subsection can have Chutzpah ratings independent of and
different from the rule or subsection that contains it. The subsection Chutzpah
is specified next to the subsection title. If multiple subsections of a rule
conflict with another rule, only those subsections with a Chutzpah higher than
the conflicting rule will take priority over the conflicting rule. If multiple
subsections of a rule conflict with each other, the subsection with the highest
Chutzpah takes precedence; otherwise, normal precedence rules are followed."

        to

        "No subsection may have a Chutzpah rating independent of or different
from the rule or subsection that contains it. A subsection may take precedence
over any number of specified rules or subsections independent of or different
from the rule or subsection that contains it."

In r1583, change "A.3. A Duty may be deactivated. Duties may only come to be
deactivated as laid down explicitly in the rules, or by direct proposition. A
Deactivated Duty may not become Waiting, or Require Attention. Should any
Deactivated Duties try to become Waiting, or Require Attention, they do not.
Only a Proposal may alter the state of a Deactivated Proposal. This section of
this rule takes precedence over all other rules that may change the state of
Duties."

        to

        "A.3. A Duty may be deactivated. Duties may only come to be deactivated
as laid down explicitly in the rules, or by direct proposition. A Deactivated
Duty may not become Waiting, or Require Attention. Should any Deactivated Duties
try to become Waiting, or Require Attention, they do not. Only a Proposal may
alter the state of a Deactivated Proposal. This section of this rule takes
precedence over all other rules except rule 33 that may change the state of
Duties."
 and change "B. All Duties must be listed within the text of this rule,
for ease of reference, and if a Duty is specifically related to another rule
then a reference or link to that rule must be provided. Any Duty which is not
listed within the text of this rule is not a Duty, even if it claims to be so.
This rule takes precedence over all other rules for the purposes of defining
Duties."

        to

        "B. All Duties must be listed within the text of this rule, for ease of
reference, and if a Duty is specifically related to another rule then a
reference or link to that rule must be provided. Any Duty which is not listed
within the text of this rule is not a Duty, even if it claims to be so. This
rule takes precedence over all other rules except rule 33 for the purposes of
defining Duties."

Delete rule 1302 and remove the Layer attribute from any rule that has it.

In rule 33,

        Add the following paragraph to the beginning:

        "'X takes precedence over F' shall mean that if X and F cannot both be
followed in a particular instance, X shall be followed. 'X defers to F' shall
mean that if X and F cannot both be followed in a particular instance, F shall
be followed."

        Change "If two or more rules claim to take precedence over each other or
to defer to one another, then the Chutzpah method again governs." to

        "If two or more rules claim to take precedence over each other or to
defer to one another, or due to the previous paragraph another such unresolvable
conflict occurs [[e.g. a loop of 3 or more rules]] , then the Chutzpah method
again governs."

        Add the following paragraph after "Whenever one section of a rule
conflicts with another section of the same rule, the section which appears later
in the rule takes precedence over the earlier section; however, if a subsection
of a subsection of a rule conflicts with the subsection it is nested within, the
higher-level subsection takes precedence.":
        "If sentences that have identical sets of containing sections and
subsections conflict so that they may not be followed, the one appearing later
in the rule must be followed if any of them are followed. If because of this
Rule a sentence may not be followed without contradiction, that sentence has no
effect on the gamestate."

        Add the following to the end:

        "Any proposal or Game Action that attempts to change a rule to make it
take precedence over rule 33 has no effect at any time. This Rule takes
precedence over all other rules and any other regulatory items in the game, and
may not be deactivated or renumbered, nor may any word occurring in it be
reinterpreted, nor may it be modified or repealed without a three-fourths vote
of all Players."

}}




I propose:
{{__Privacy__

Add the following to r16:

"E. Private Fora
Any statement made in a private forum has no effect on the game and shall be
treated for all purposes as if it were not made. Subsection C takes precedence
over this subsection."

Change the first sentence of r17 from "Actions occur upon reaching the
appropriate Fora." to "Actions, regardless of clock state, occur upon posting to
a Public Forum."

In r3, change "If the Clock is Off, any game-related actions taken by players
are implemented/recognized in the order in which they were recieved when the
Clock is turned On." to:

        "If the Clock is Off, any game-related actions taken by players are
implemented when the Clock is turned On and in the order in which they occurred."

Delete rule 906.
}}


I propose:
{{__the Default Case is cool__

Change rule 18 to:

"Whatever is not prohibited or regulated by the Ruleset is permitted and
unregulated. A Rule Change consists of the creation (enactment), modification
(amendment), or deletion (repeal) of a rule."

Delete rule 152 [[the Default Case says the same thing]]
}}

I propose:
{{__Clarifying the Not-So-Default Case__

In r699, change "Any action indistinguishable from a legal action is legal." to
"Any action indistinguishable from a legal action by at least one Player is
legal. This rule takes precedence over all other rules except rule 33."

Change the last sentence of r129 to "This rule takes precedence over all rules
except rule 33 and rule 699."
}}

I propose:
{{__No one is paying attention to Money Here__

Remove subsection A.2. from r21.

Remove all BNS from existence.

Remove The Bank from existence.

}}
