Peter has submitted a new proposal, p4.

---------------------------------
Proposal 4/0: Tiles
A Standard Proposal by Peter
Last modified on nweek 85, nday 2

Create a new section of the rules, with each second-level header (surrounded by == ) denoting a new rule:
{{
= Tiles =
== Definitions ==
Tiles are Game Objects.

Each Tile may have a Tile Letter.

A Tile may be owned by a Player.

The set of Tiles that a player owns is called eir Rack.

Any Tiles that are not owned by a player are said to be in the Bag.

A statement that a Tile is put into the Bag is equivilent to meaning that the Tile is no longer owned by a player.

A statement that a player Draws a Tile means that if there are any Tiles in the Bag, a random Tile from the Bag becomes owned by that player.

== Joining and Leaving ==
Each player may be Playing Tiles. Players initially are not Playing Tiles.

A player not Playing Tiles and who has not been Playing Tiles for at least two nweeks may choose to be Playing Tiles as a Game Action.

A player who is Playing Tiles may choose to no longer be Playing Tiles as a Game Action. When e does so, all Tiles in eir Rack are put into the Bag.

== Drawing ==
If a player who is Playing Tiles at any point does not have at least 7 tiles in eir Rack, e Draws Tiles until either e has 7 Tiles or there are no more Tiles in the Bag, whichever comes first.

== English Words ==
An English Word is a word recognized as a word by the [http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/ Yahoo! dictionary] and labeled as a part of speech with the exception of the following:
 * Words that always contain a capital letter
 * Abbreviations
 * Prefixes and suffixes not standing along
 * Words that contain a character that is not one of the 26 standard English letters, such as a hyphen or apostrophe.

== Playing ==
At most twice per nweek, a player may make a Tile Play. A Tile Play consists of specifying a sequence of Tiles that each have a Tile Letter from eir Rack such that the Tile Letters on those Tiles in that sequence form an English Word.

When a Tile Play is made, the Tiles specified by it are put into the Bag.
}}


Add a new Ministry to Rule 4-4:
{{
=== The Ministry of Tiles ===
The Ministry of Tiles is a Ministry; its Minister may be called the Tiler. The Tiler is responsible for maintaining a Public Display of current Tiles, and determining which Tile a player gets when e Draws a Tile.
}}


Make Peter the Minister of Tiles.
