[s-b] Proposal: To B or not to B

["Mike McGann" <mike.mcgann@xxxxxxxxx>]

[[I'm back. Time for a proposal.]]

I submit the following proposal titled "To B or not to B":

{{
Amend Rule 1-4 by replacing:
{{
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. He may do this if and
only if he fulfills the following requirements:

* He is capable of passing a Membership Test, although he may not be
required to take said test
* He is not currently a Player
* He has a working e-mail address
}}
with
{{
As a Game Action, an External Force may become a Player without 2 objections.
}}
[[Instead of trying to be "technical" and restricting all cases that
could be a problem, let it be more of a judgment call on a
case-by-case basis.]]

Remove the following in Rule 1-4:
{{
The Registrar may refuse to allow any External Force to become a
player, and may refuse to recognize any otherwise-legal name change,
if e believes the External Force's proposed name (or existing player's
new name) would be ambiguous or confusing, or could otherwise damage
the integrity of this game. The Registrar is encouraged, but not
required, to state the reason for such refusal.
}}
[[This is now handled by the Players and would be redundant]]

Amend Rule 1-10 by replacing the following:
{{
A Game Action is defined as any activity specified by the rules to be
a Game Action. Other Outsiders may also take Game Actions if
explicitly permitted by the rules. To perform a Game Action, an
Outsider must post a message to a Public Forum specifying that he is
taking that action. He must also specify any targets and/or parameters
necessary for that action [[for example, you must specify a proposal
in order to vote against a proposal]]. He may list multiple actions
that he wishes to take, in which case he takes them in the order he
lists them. He may also state a specific positive integer to perform a
particular action that many times (if legal, of course) sequentially.
The Rules also have the power to cause an Outsider to take Game
Actions whether he posts or not.
}}
with
{{
A Game Action is defined as any activity specified by the rules to be
a Game Action. Game Actions can only be performed by Players unless
otherwise specified in the Rules. A Game Action is performed by
posting a message to a Public Forum specifying the action being taken
and any targets and/or parameters necessary for that action. Multiple
actions may be specified, and if so, are performed in the order
listed. A Game Action may also state a specific positive integer to
perform a particular action that many times (if legal, of course)
sequentially. The Rules also have the power to cause an Outsider to
take Game Actions whether he posts or not.
}}
[[Allows Game Actions by External Forces required for the first
amendment. Also opens up who and what can perform Game Actions as
being Players unless permitted elsewhere (and avoids directly naming
the entity)]]
}}
