Wonko has submitted a new proposal, p1990.

---------------------------------
Proposal 1990/0: Revisable whatnow?
A Standard Proposal by Wonko
Last modified on nweek 78, nday 4

[[ The 'revisable' stuff in the rules really bugs me. Here's a fix. ]]

Amend rule 4 to read:
{{
Rule 4
Revisions

Game Documents may be specified as revisable. Every revisable document has a revision number, which serves to differentiate versions of it. When a revisable document is nontrivially modified, its revision number is increased by one. For the purposes of this rule, no modification to a Game Document is trivial except the results of Executive Tidiness.

Each revisable object of a Serializable type has an id string, which is the string "n/r" where n is replaced by the objects serial number and r is replaced by its revision number.

Note: It may still be possible to revise Documents that aren't revisable; revisable only means "has a revision number".
}}

Amend rule 5 to read:
{{
Rule 5
Serial Numbers

Types of Game Objects may be Serializable. If a type is Serializable, then every object of that type has a serial number assigned to it. When a new object of a Serializable type is created, it is assigned the serial number one higher than the highest serial number ever used for an object of that type. If no Serial number was ever assigned to an object of that type, a new object of that type gets serial number 100 instead. The preceding two sentences defer to any rules which contradict them.
}}

Amend rule 11 to read:
{{
Rule 11
Rules and Rulebooks

Rules are revisable, Serializable Game Documents. Rules may only be altered as outlined in the Ruleset.

A Rulebook is a collection of Rules. Every Rule must be in a Rulebook; no rule may be in more than one Rulebook.

The Ruleset is a Rulebook; all rules that are not in other Rulebooks are in the Ruleset.
}}

Amend rule 19 to read:
{{
Rule 19
Proposals

 Proposals, or Props, are revisable, Serializable Game Documents each of which consists primarily of a list of changes to the gamestate.

 There exist different types of props. Each type has the following attributes associated with it:

A proposal cost: Limited PEs must pay this cost in order to issue a prop of this type.

A passage bonus: When a prop of this type passes, its proponent, if one exists, receives this bonus.

A failure penalty: When a prop of this type fails, its proponent, if one exists, receives this penalty.

Content Restrictions: A set of restrictions, which may be empty, governing what sorts of changes or texts may be included in the text of a prop of this type, which entities may submit props of this type, and when they may do so.

 General Props are Proposals with a prop cost of 2BW, a passage bonus of 3d6 points and 1 Temporary Honor, and a failure penalty of 1d6 points. Any PE may issue General Props. General Props have no Content Restrictions.

 An Anonymous Proposal is submitted by a proposing entity privately to the Chairman. The identity of the proposing entity is not revealed until the conclusion of voting on the proposal. Anonymous Proposals have a proposal cost of 2BW, a passage bonus of (3d6)/2 points, and a failure penalty of 1d6 points.

 An Unauthored Proposal is a Proposal whose prop cost, passage bonus, and failure penalty are all 0. Unauthored Props may not be issued simply as Unauthored Props; only as types of props that derive from Unauthored Props.

 Proposals may only be revised by the Player who proposed them, if one exists. They may be revised by the Player who proposed them at any time between when they were first proposed and the next beginning of a voting period.

 When a proposal Passes, the gamestate changes listed within it are made.

Amend rule 125 to read:
{{
Rule 125
Calling for Inquiry

 If players disagree about the legality of an action, the interpretation or application of a rule or set of rules, or the current state of the game, any player may invoke the Second Highly Exalted Network for Active Nomic Interpration and General Analysis of Nomic States, or SHENANIGANS. This is done by submitting a Call For Inquiry, or CFI; this is called Calling Shenanigans.

CFIs are Serializable Game Documents consisting of a statement about the game and (optionally) an argument in favor of that statement.

 The entity that submitted a CFI is called its Plaintiff. When Calling Shenanigans, the Plaintiff may choose to Call Shenanigans on another player; if e does, the chosen player is the CFI's Defendant.

 A CFI may also be referred to as a CFJ, for antique [[and Roman]] reference.
