[s-b] Proposal

["Roger Hicks" <pidgepot@xxxxxxxxx>]

As a Game Action I submit the following proposal:

Organisms
{
Modify Rule 0 "In Case of Emergency" by replacing the first paragraph with:
{{
For the purposes of this rule, the term "Potential Emergency
Participant" (or PEP) shall mean each of the current players of the
game as defined by other rules. However, if who the current players
are in the game is unclear, uncertain, or ambiguous, or if there are
less than four such players, then it shall instead mean who the
players were before such uncertainty or drop in player count. For the
purposes of this rule any player that is not a natural human person
can not be a PEP.
}}

create a rule titled "Organisms" with the text:
{{
An Organism is an External Force created by two or more other External
Forces (members) through a binding agreement governed by a legal
authority that assigns any rights, responsibilities, and obligations
it incurs to it's members.
}}

Modify Rule 1-4 Joining and Leaving by replacing the second paragraph
(including the bulleted list) with this text:
{{
An External Force that is not an Organism 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:

    * E is capable of passing a Turing Test
    * E is not currently a Player
    * E has a working e-mail address

An Organism may become a Player by one of its members posting a
message to a Public Forum containing a request for the Organism to
become a Player and uniquely identifying the name of the Organism and
the binding agreement that governs it. The Organism must also identify
an email address where it will receive messages (this may be the
e-mail address of one of its members). In order for an Organism to
become a Player it must fulfill the following requirements:

  * It is not currently a Player
  * The set of natural human persons who directly or indirectly
compose it's membership is distinct from the same set for any other
Organism that is a Player.

A member of an Organism may (when permitted by the agreement that
governs that Organism) act on behalf of that Organism within B Nomic.
Such actions, when clearly designated, are distinct from actions that
member would take on their own behalf as an Outsider.
