I give 0x44 a Kick in the Ass as e attempted an impossible change of Location, an action which is on the LOGAS, by trying to move to the Upstairs Hall, which e was in during the previous Phase.
I recognize this Kick in the Ass.

However, I believe the change of location to the Servant's Quarters was successful, although the subsequent 3 movements were not.

In other news, I think Marr965 raises a good point with his kick reform proposal but I think it doesn't help to keep kick recognizing with one person and simply change that person. I think a satisfaction based system may work better by allowing all players a chance to say whether the kick should be recognized and leaving the kick giver and receiver out of that decision. I submit the following proposal:

{{__Even Fairer Kicks in the Ass__

Replace the text of Rule 79 with the following:
{{There exists a part of the game state known as the List Of Generally Abhorred Stuff, which may be abbreviated LOGAS. The LOGAS contains the following list of actions:

* Performing any action which the rules say a player MUST NOT (or SHALL NOT but CAN) do.
* Failing to perform any action which the rules say a player MUST or SHALL do within 3 ndays if the Clock is on, 3 wdays if the Clock is off, or within another time limit prescribed by the rule requiring the action.
* Attempting IMPOSSIBLE changes of Location [[as it causes headaches for the Registrar]]

Whenever a player performs an action that is on the List of Generally Abhorred Stuff in a public forum, any player may state in a public forum that that player has performed an action on the LOGAS and give that player a Kick in the Ass with one supporter and without two objections. A player may not object to an announcement of intent that they be given a Kick in the Ass [[and the player giving the kick is forbidden from supporting the kick by the fact they are the executor - see rule 75]].

Multiple Kicks in the Ass may not be given in response to a single Action or Forum message.

When a Kick in the Ass is given, the player who recieved the Kick loses 5 points and gains the attribute “Sore” for the duration of one nweek.

When a Kick in the Ass is given, the player who delivered the Kick receives 5 points and gains the attribute “Kicker of Asses” for the duration of one nweek.

Players may recognize that eir action is on the LOGAS and give emself a Kick in the Ass, this does not need to be done with one supporter or without two objections. When a self-inflicted Kick in the Ass is given, the player who received and self-inflicted the Kick loses 5 points and gains the attribute “Sore, but Self-Aware” for the duration of one nweek. A player who Kicks eir own Ass does not receive 5 points or gain the attribute “Kicker of Asses.”

Any player who successfully delivers three or more Kicks in the Ass to players other than emself in a single nweek receives an additional 10 points, awarded upon giving the third Kick in the Ass, and gains the attribute “Supreme Kicker of Asses” for the duration of three nweeks.


If at any point a player has recieved more than one Kick in the Ass in one nweek, e receives the attribute Buttplated for one nweek. If a player is Buttplated, and e receives a Kick in the Ass, the player who gave em the Kick in the Ass does not receive any points, nor does said Kick count towards a Supreme Kicker of Asses attribute. [[Basically, you gotta catch more than one person in the act of doing Generally Abhorred Stuff if you’re gonna get the bonus. You gotta earn that.]]
}}
}}

This is Proposal 6062.

[[I could also change the ambiguity about the "duration of one nweek" in this rule but I'm unsure which definition to use and this should probably be addressed on a more fundamental level by amending rule 3. Any suggestions on this would be welcome.]]
