Re: [s-d] [s-b] Aaron C's Refresh Porposal

["Aaron Coquet" <farfromunique@xxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following [[revised]] refresh proposal:
{
The day is set to nday 1: Breakday [[to give us more time for the next
part]]
All Pending proposals are marked as Historical with a win-state of Lost. No
changes to points or wins are made as a result of this.
The proposals which have just been marked as Historical are all
automatically re-submitted by their original authors.
All ministries are Vacated.

All players who have been players for one full nWeek gain the active
property.
All players who have not been players for one full nWeek cease to be
players.
[[This gives everyone who already is a player a chance to be one, and if
there is debate about whether or not anyone is a player, they can try to
join again.]]

All Devices that exist, with the exception of the Holy Hand Grenade of
Antioch, are transformed into the price that was paid for them in Mack, and
are immediately given to the original purchaser. [[so that noone has any of
the new devices which exist in a quantum state, and no money is lost on the
deal.]]
Al Blueprints are destroyed.

All rules between 3-12 and 3-14 inclusive are repealed.

A player is created with the name "The Nomic"
"The Nomic" submits a proposal to add back rule 3-12
"The Nomic" submits a proposal to add back rule 3-13
"The Nomic" submits a proposal to add back rule 3-14
"The Nomic" ceases to be a player.

Create a new rule in section 1, called "Things not to do":
{
If an action is described, mentioned, or otherwise appears in the rules, it
is known as a "Registered" action.
If an action is prohibited or not allowed in the rules, it is known as an
"Offensive" action.

Offensive actions may not be taken.
Registered actions can only be taken in a way that is in accordance with the
rule or rules which describe or mention them, or in which they appear.
}
}
