[[************************** Part I: Societies ***************************]]

Deactivate rule 1075 [[WBE speeder Upgrades; we'll wait on this 'til WBE is
working right]]

In rule 578:
Append to Section A the text, " No Society may ever convey upon its members
the power to take an action which they could not otherwise do."
Amend section G in its entirety to be:
{{
G. Creating a Society by Player action

A Player may, no more than once per nweek, in the first five ndays of an
nweek, declare a Society by stating eir intent to do so, along with the
Society's Charter. 
The Charter must include a list of the Society's initial Members. Only
Players can be initial Members of a Society created by a Player Action.
Entities in the list other than the Player declaring the Society must state
their acceptance of membership into the Society in the same nweek as the
declaration, or will be dropped from the list of initial Members.
If, at the end of the nweek in which the Society was declared, a proposal
that nweek has barred it from existing, or the Society would have no
Members, the Charter is discarded and the Society does not exist. Otherwise,
the society is then created.

Destroy all societies except:
The Upper House

[[************************* Part II: NomiCrack *************************]]

Deactivate Rule 1084 [[NomiCrack]] Destroy all Rocks of NomiCrack

[[************************* Part III: The Grid *************************]]

Amend rule 301 to add, in a position of the Admin's choosing [[Somewhere in
section A would probably be best]], the sentence, "Whenever a rule refers to
'Grid Squares', it shall refer only to Surface Squares unless specified
otherwise."

Deactivate Rule 1077 [[Mining - we'll fix this by proposal]]

Amend rule 154, section B.6. [[Entropy]] thusly:
On the list of events, add to the list of objects in the second item of the
list the following objects: Brooks, Sponges, Shears, Ancient Monoliths,
Athames, Sledge-O-Matics, Piles of Kindling, Towels, Small Lumps of Scrap
Metal, and Large Lumps of Scrap Metal.

Create the Football at (1,1).

Amend rule 1069 to replace the word "squares" in the first paragraph with
"Surface Squares"

Raise each player's Entropy by 2000 [[Triggering an Entropy Apocalypse to
wipe the grid clean]]

Destroy all Gnomes, Pinball guns, and Airspeeders.

Put all surface squares on the same level. [[That's a really confusing point
of the new Grid Rule - it seems to say that every surface square has
elevation 0, regardless of whether it's been moved. Personally, I think that
change alone could have been a prop by itself, as there are all sorts of
confusing things in the ruleset now - like the fact that although we've
obliterated the elbonia-squares, along with numerous others, but the surface
squares of those surface units still appear to be on the same level as
everything else.]]

Amend rule 394.A.2. by replacing the last 2 sentences with, " For Team
Turquoise, the end-zone is any location on The Grid with x-coordinate equal
to 1. For Team Crimson, the end-zone is any location on The Grid with
x-coordinate equal to 20."

Close the Casino.

Erase all Engravings.

Destroy the Tower of Babel and recreate it on a random surface square.

[[*************************** Part IV: Players ***************************]]

Destroy all Points and Units.
Set every one of every players' dimensions to zero, except for Respect.
Give all BNS to the Bank.
Set each player's destruction, if e has one, to 0.
Destroy all shares of all stocks.
Destroy all beverages.
Set each player's debt to Luigi to 0.
Make it so that no player is Cursed, Dead, a Toad, Hungover of the Ages,
Dizzy, Buttplated, or Inebriated.

[[************************** Part V: Restocking **************************]]

Give each player 1000 BNS.
Create 150 points in the Gremlin Fund.

Destroy all Service Malls.

Place Service Malls on every surface square with x and y coordinates that
are both integral multiples of 6.

Place 12 bonus boxes on random surface squares.
Place 2 athames, 2 Big Rocks, 3 Balls of Wax, and an Ancient Monolith on the
Grid on random Surface Squares.
Place all Hands on the Grid on random Surface Squares.

Make six randomly chosen Gremlins Active and place them on randomly chosen
Surface Squares.

[[*************************** Part VI: Honors ****************************]]

Give each player a T-Shirt with the text, "I survived Nweek 24, no thanks to
Wonko, Glotmorf, BvS, Orc, bd, or Wonko May Not Vote".

Give Glotmorf one point of Respect, for creating the Deactivation rule that
cut the length of this refresh prop tremendously.

Give Glotmorf the title: "Lord of the Bulldozers".
Give Orc in a Spacesuit the title: "Lord of the Gnomic Wastings"
Give bd the title: "Knight of the Gnomic Wastings"

[[************************* Part VII: Restarting *************************]]

Change the gamestate so nobody is recognizing a state of emergency.
[[Unneccessary, but we might as well be clear]]
Activate the Watch.
When the Watch reads 2 wdays, deactivate it and turn on the Clock.
