BvS has amended p11.

Proposal 11/2: Desecration is Fun!
A Standard Proposal by BvS
Last modified on nweek 86, nday 4

Create a new Section to the Ruleset, named "All Things Mystical."

Create a new rule in the All Things Mystical section of the ruleset:

{{
== Fun With Souls ==

Souls are Game Objects. Upon joining, all Players are given a Soul, which gains eir player name as an attribute. A player may only lose possession of eir Soul or gain possession of another Soul in a manner stated by the rules. A Player who possesses any Soul may be referred to as that Soul's Master.

A Player who does not have the maximum allowed number of Souls in eir possession may take possession of a Lost Soul by declaring in a public forum which Lost Soul e is taking possession of. When a Player takes possession of a Lost Soul, the Soul ceases to be Lost and becomes Found.

Players whose Souls are Found may not take possession of Lost Souls until they have reclaimed possession of their own Soul. If a Found Soul's Master leaves the Game for any reason, that Soul ceases to be Found and returns to its original owner's possession.

The maximum number of Souls a Player may possess is 3. If a player possesses more than 3 Souls, Souls will be randomly chosen from all Souls e possesses (including eir own) and taken away until e is down to 3 Souls. If eir Soul is taken away in this manner, it becomes Lost.
}}

Amend rule 3-2 to read:

{{
A Player is an Outsider who consents to be governed by the rules, fulfills all requirements for continued playerhood specified by the rules, and has become a player in a manner specified by the rules.

An External Force may become a Player by posting a message to a Public Forum containing a request to become a player and a uniquely identifying name that e wishes to be known by. E may do this if and only if e fulfills the following requirements:

* It is capable of passing a Turing Test
* Its Soul is Lost, Found, or it has no Soul
* It has a working e-mail address

If a player whose Soul is Found rejoins the game, eir Soul does not cease to be Found and remains in the possession of its Master.

A Player may cease to be a player by Forfeiting the game; this must be done in a Public Forum unless there are no working public fora, in which case e may notify all players privately instead.

No restrictions may be placed on when a player may forfeit; any player may forfeit the game at any time (regardless of the clock, the watch, etc.)

When a Player ceases to be a player for any reason, e loses all game defined properties and attributes except for eir Name, and eir Soul becomes Lost, unless it is possessed by another player, in which case it remains Found and in the possession of its Master.
}}

Give every current and former Player of B Nomic a Soul. Make all Souls of former Players Lost.

[[This proposal, you may note, does not do several things. It does not explain how to regain your Soul if you lose it. It does not explain how to take another active Player's Soul. It does not explain why you would want a Soul that isn't yours. This is all very much on purpose. I'll propose some ideas next nweek, but I want to leave this system open to modification. It's more fun when I don't have control. And if those aren't some fabulous last words, I don't know what are.]]
