[Joel Uckelman <uckelman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A new Proposal and two changes:

----

Create a Rule entitled "Contests" with the following text:

A Contest is structure within the Game consisting of Contest Rules, 
Contestants, Prizes, and a Contestmaster.

An Agent may become a Contestant of a Contest by publicly consenting to 
inclusion in it, and by meeting any other qualifications established by the 
Contest Rules. Contest Rules are binding on Contestants, but may not 
supersede any Game Rules.

----

Strike everything in the P362, the Political Go Proposal, up to the clause 
which creates the Political Go Rule. Replace "Subgame Administrator" with 
"Contestmaster". Replace "Go player" with "Go Contestant". Replace 
"Subgame" with "Contest".

Append the following paragraph: 

"The first Go Consul is Joel Uckelman. Thereafter, the winner of the 
previous game shall become Go Consul."

----

Also, amend the P361 to read:

Create a rule entitled "Paper-Rock-Scissors" with the following text: 

Paper-Rock-Scissors is a Contest for exactly two Contestants. To play, each 
Contestant shall notify the Contestmaster of eir choice of paper, rock, or 
scissors. Once the Contestmaster has received the selections of both 
Contestants, e shall announce a winner and transfer the Prizes to em.

The Contestmaster shall determine the winner as follows:

1. Paper beats rock. 
2. Rock beats scissors. 
3. Scissors beats paper. 

In the event that both Contestants make the same selection, neither wins, 
and the Contest must be repeated.

The winner of the previous Paper-Rock-Scissors becomes its new 
Contestmaster.
