This rule applies only to proposals which (propose to) create a single new rule.

When the appropriate officer recognizes a new proposal, then: if the proposal lacks a title but the proposed new rule would have a title, the title of the proposal becomes the same same as the title of the rule; if the new rule lacks a title but the proposal has a title, the new rule's title becomes the same as the title of the proposal.

If neither the proposal nor the new rule have titles, this rule has no effect.

A Place is a special instance of Object, which has the additional variables 'position', 'Player-capacity' and 'Object-capacity'. A Place may hold a given number of Players and a given number of Objects, and may be owned by more than one Player at one time. Places may be subdivided, but only into subcatagories such as 'rooms' which belong strictly to that Place - this part of this rule supersedes the relevant part of the rule entitle 'Objects'.

Rules are Objects. When a new Rule is created the owner of the proposal that created the Rule becomes the owner of the Rule. When an existing Rule is modified the owner of the proposal that modified the Rule becomes the owner of the Rule, regardless of who the previous owner was. When a Rule is repealed it ceases to exist and as such is not able to be owned.

If ever the Bank's Point debts exceed its Point holdings plus the total Points it is owed, the Bank has become bankrupt.

Whenever the Bank is bankrupt, the Banker and Tax Collector are fined 20 Points each, with the excpetion that the Bankruptcy Fine may be imposed no more than on ce per turn.

The Office of The Tax Collector is an Elective Office. It is the responsibility of the Tax Collector to recover from Agents debts owed the Bank.

Once per nweek, the Banker may set the Point values of the Adopted Proposal and Opposed Minority Awards such that the value of each is neither less than zero no r greater than twenty.

Once per nweek, the Tax Collector may set the Point value of the Failed Proposal Fine such that its value is neither less than zero nor greater than twenty.

The Offical Salary and the Judicial Salary are values associated with this game. They may be changed only as specified by the rules. Initially, the value of each is zero.

At the end of each nweek, the bank owes one Official Salary, in points, to each agent who holds one or more paid offices. An agent that holds multiple offices cannot recieve more that one Official Salary.

When a judge returns a judgement, the bank owes one Judicial Salary to em.

Once per nweek, with a post to the public forum, the Banker may set the values of the Official Salary and thee Judicial Salary such that the value of each is neither less than zero nor greater than twenty.

The Officer of Bean Counting (OBC) is an Elected Officer. The OBC is responsible for keeping track of the number of each Object currently owned by each Agent.

Extra Votes are objects. The owner of one or more Extra Votes may transfer any or all of those Extra Votes to another legal owner by posting to the public Forum.

The Owner of an Extra Vote may use the Extra Vote to cast one vote on any ballot item, provided that e is a legal voter, by posting to the public forum. This use also transfers ownership of that Extra Vote to the Bank. A voter may not use more than one Extra Vote on a single ballot item.

There are five extra votes. Initially, all Extra Votes are owned by the Bank.

An agent having a score of greater than or equal to 100 points may purchase an Extra Vote by posting to the Public Forum. This transfers 100 points from that player to the Bank, and the Administrator shall then, within a reasonable amount of time, order the transfer of one Extra Vote from the Bank to that player, provided that the Bank owns at least one Extra Vote.

If an agent owes points, e is considered a debtor. The agent to which those points are owed is eir creditor. If e does not pay those points which e owes within whatever time is agreed upon in advance by those parties, or two nweeks otherwise, the debt becomes overdue and eir creditor may submit a Motion for Repayment for that particular debt.

A Motion for Repayment that is submitted becomes a ballot issue at the start of the next nweekly voting. If it passes then a Motive Order is issued for the repayment of the debt, to be performed as soon as possible.

The Office of The Banker is an elective office. It is the responsibility of the Banker to post actions to the public forum for the Bank. There are some decisions that must be made and some actions that must be performed by the bank. This office acts as the decision-making and action-performing part of the Bank.

If a CFJ finds that the Banker has not allowed the Bank to perform its required duties within a reasonable length of time e is expelled from the office and fined fifty points.

It is up to the Banker to decide what actions the Bank will take, and post those actions to the public forum. Eir nweekly report should include a summary of all actions taken by the Bank in that nweek, and also a list debts owed by or owed to the bank.

The Banker may always cause the Bank to perform an action in an Administrative, Motive, or Legistative Order, provided that it is a legal action for the Bank. The Banker may also cause the bank to repay any debt that it owes. If another action is to be performed, the Banker must instead act on behalf of the bank, and although the action is performed as if acted by the bank, it cannot affect items owned by the bank or enter the bank into any debts, or be any other effect not normally allowed by the action an independant agent.

The Bank is an agent, but not an eligible voter.

If a debt owed the Bank is overdue the Bank may submit a Motion for Repayment of that debt, at the discretion of the Banker.

A Bank Motion is a motion that, once submitted, becomes a Ballot Item on the next nweekly voting. A Bank Motion should describe one or more actions to be performed by the Bank. If it passes, a Motive Order is issued for the Bank to perform those actions.

Objects are indivisible and may be possessed only in nonnegative quantities. Agents may own Objects. No entity may be both an Object and an Agent. Objects may not be created, destroyed, or otherwise altered, transferred, or adulterated except as allowed by the Rules.

Any Player may gain or lose the [Away] attribute by sending a message to this effect to a public forum. Players that have not voted in the last three nweeks automatically gain the [Away] attribute. If at any time a player has not voted in the last three nweeks the Administrator shall, within a reasonable amount of time, grant them the [Away] attribute by posting a message to that effect to the public forum. Players that are away are not required to make any action if that action was imposed on them while they were [Away].

The Administrator cannot become [Away].

Players that are [Away] do not count when calculating the Quorum.

Whenever a Proposal is adopted, the Bank owes:

1. the Adopted Proposal Award to the Proposal's owner
2. the Opposed Minority Award to each Agent who voted against the Proposal
Whenever a Proposal fails, the Bank is owed:

1. the Failed Proposal Fine by the Proposal's owner

Quorum is the number of eligible Agents needed to participate in voting in order for the results of the voting to take effect. If quorum is not met for a nweek's voting:

1. all Ballot Item Proposals revert to their previous state
2. all Ballot Item Motions fail
3. Ballot Item Elections for non-vacant Offices are held again in the next nweek. The current Officer keeps their Office for another nweek. Candidates must be nominated for election again.
4. Ballot Item Elections for vacant Offices shall carry on the majority of votes cast.

Whenever an Agent's score reaches or exceeds 500 points, and that Agent owns 20 or more Rules, the Administrator shall credit em with a Win.

Associated with each agent is a scalar quantity known as eir score. An agent's score is a representation of the number of point objects owned by em.

The owner of one or more points may transfer any or all points in eir posession to another legal owner by posting to the public forum.

If the rules call for the Administrator to credit a player with a certain number of points then e shall order the transfer of those points from the Bank to that player.

If the rules call for the Administrator to debit a player a certain number of points then e shall order that player to transfer the required points to the Bank.

Upon the enactment of this rule, the previously-existing score of each player is converted into a number of points such that the score before and after the enactment is exactly the same. The administrator may not perform any scoring operations resulting from the end of voting until this has been done. This paragraph will then self-delete.

'A Nomic' shall refer to the specific instance of Nomic game which possesses the body of rules containing this definition, unless it is made clear, whether explicitly or via the context, that 'A Nomic' refers to something else. Only the permutation of letter case which has both the initial A and the initial N of the second word capitalised may be take in this context, since the name in any other permutation case may be ambiguous.
