Proposal 1960 (Democratic, AI=2.0, Interest=1) by C-walker
<none>

Re-title the Rule "Rests" "Gremlins" and amend it to read as follows:

{{

Gremlins are a fixed currency. The creation and destruction of gremlins is
secured with a power threshold of 1.7, a person generally CANNOT destroy
Gremlins except as permitted by Rules explicitly stating methods by which
Gremlins in particular CAN be destroyed.

The Wizard is an office, and the recordkeepor of Gremlins.

Ownership of Gremlins is restricted to first-class persons. If, in the
absence of this restriction, a number (N) of Gremlins would be created in
the ownership of a non-first-class person, then for each member of that
person's basis, N Gremlins are created in that member's possession.

A player CAN spend two Gnomes in order to destroy a Gremlin owned by a
player e specifies.

A first-class player CAN create Gremlins in eir own possession by
announcement.

{{

A player CAN, without objection, destroy all Gremlins.

Owning one or more Gremlins is a Losing Condition.

While a person owns at least 8 Rests, that person CANNOT spend Gnomes except
to destroy gremlins e owns. This takes precedence over any other rule.

While a player owns at least 24 Gremlins, that player CAN be deregistered by
any player by announcement. A person who owns at least 6 Gremlins, or where
every member of eir basis owns 6 Gremlins, CANNOT register, rules to the
contrary notwithstanding.

A person who has one or more Gremlins but is not a player is a Fugitive. The
Herald's monthly report shall include a list of all Fugitives and the number
of Gremlins they possess. At the beginning of each month, half of each
Fugitive's Gremlins (rounded down) are destroyed.

}}

Amend the last paragraph of the Rule "Voting on Ordinary Decisions" to read:

{{

The eligible voters on an ordinary decision are those entities
that were active players at the start of its voting period. The
voting limit of an eligible voter on an ordinary decision is eir
caste at the start of its voting period, reduced to the next
lower caste (minimum Savage) for each positive multiple of 4
Gremlins that the voter posesses at the start of the voting period.

}}

Amend the last paragraph of the Rule "Notices of Violation" to read:

{{

If a Notice is Uncontested and was published at least four days
ago, any player CAN cause it to become Closed by announcement.
Any player CAN cause a Notice specifying em as Accused to become
Closed by announcement. When a Notice becomes Closed, a number
of Gremlins are created in the possession of the Accused equal to
the power of the violated Rule, rounded up. If a Closed notice
becomes Contested, these Gremlins remain, but CAN be later
destroyed by judicial processes as described elsewhere.

}}

In the Rule "Criminal Cases", replace:

{{

When a judicial question on culpability is judged after a number of rests
have been created in the Accused's possession due to the associated notice,
the judge CAN and SHALL destroy any such rests by announcement as soon as
possible.

When a judicial question on culpability is judged after a number
of Gremlins have been created in the Accused's possession due to
the associated notice, the judge CAN and SHALL destroy any such
Gremlins by announcement as soon as possible.

{{

* SILENCE, a number of Rests,

}}

with:

{{

* SILENCE, a number of Gremlins

}}

and amend the final paragraph to read:

{{

An appeal concerning any assignment of judgment in a criminal case within
the past week CAN be initiated by the accused by announcement. Unless
otherwise specified, an appeal of a judgment in a criminal case is assumed
to be appealing the question of culpability. If a verdict or sentence that
led to the creation of Gremlins is overruled, remanded, or reassigned, the
Gremlins are still considered to have been created, but the appeals panel
CAN and SHALL destroy any created Gremlins by announcement.
