rest

	{{[It's easier if we just keep a running count of the nominations so
far.  I know I sometimes forget too, but this'll be more reason to
remember.]}}

	In rule 10-1-4 replace "messages to the public forum supporting the
nominee" with "messages to the public forum supporting the nominee and

[I believe Slakko is right, and they may perform these actions anyways, but
explicit allowance can't hurt much.]

"The Sponsor shall likewise receive a Trinket"
with:
"The Sponsor, or the Publicist if no valid Sponsor was provided, shall

Let there be an optional political office called the Publicist with a
minimum term of office of one month.

is in charge of signing up new players.

"

[I believe Slakko is right, and they may perform these actions anyways, but
explicit allowance can't hurt much.]

[Really take a good long look at this before you vote no on it.  I don't
completely like everything it does (for example, I don't think there NEEDS
to be a Silly Vacation Hat Rule); however, it cleans up entities in a way
that should have been done a long time ago.  For example, look at the
current state of rule 2-4.  The poor thing defines BCR, all the awards, how
to get all the awards, and a MOON.  I like all of that.  But not in the
same rule.  I think we should be more careful about where we put these
things.  IMHO, this prop makes entities a lot more logical.  The only real
change I make is to make Medals count as Garments (which only makes sense,
since you wear them).]

The rule-harfer gains 3 points 
[I know, I'm giving myself points, but this is going to be pure hell to
harf.  It's still a good prop.  Don't vote against it, please...]

was pointed out with presidential elections occurs in other elections too

TIN
It is a privilege of the Office of Justice to issue Infringement Notices.
Infringement Notices shall be numbered in ascending (preferably
consecutive) order from 101, and may be referred to as INx, where x is
their number.

Infringement Notices are issued by posting them to a public forum.  An
Infringement Notice must include the following items:
(a) The name of an Ackanomic player.
(b) The name of a Crime.
(c) The date the crime in part (b) was committed by the player in part
(a), where this date is more recent than 30 days prior to the date of
issuance of the IN.
(d) A penalty, which shall be a fine of no more than A$100.

No two INs may contain the same values for (a),(b), and (c) - any attempt
to issue a second IN with the same values as a previous IN does not
actually result in the issuance of an IN.

The player named in section (a) of the IN has seven (7) days to either
reject or accept the IN.  If no response is made within the 7 days the IN
will be deemed to have been accepted.

When the IN is accepted, then the amount of the penalty will be
transferred from the player to the Treasury.  If this would result in the
player having a negative number of A$, however, the player's state is
changed to Vacationing.

If the IN is rejected, a Kangaroo Court, which is a Type of Hearing, shall
be called.  The valid responses are "Guilty" and "Innocent".  The Justice
who issued the IN shall be Hearing Harfer, and only responses from
Justices shall be recorded.  This paragraph overrides Rule 5, "Hearings", 
in the event of a conflict.

If the verdict of the Hearing is "Guilty", then the player named in the IN
shall pay double the penalty (even if such payment results in em going
into debt), and shall be placed on Vacation.

If the verdict of the Hearing is "Innocent", then the Justice who issued
the IN shall pay the penalty to the Treasury (even if such payment results
in em going into debt).

Ackanomic City, its summit obscured by cloud. It is said that not even

POWER_OF_ATTORNEY

Create a new rule 99-1-1 titled 'Proxies' as delimited
by the following NOT_ME_REALLY delimited text
NOT_ME_REALLY
Proxies are Unownable Entities.

Proxies have three required characteristics; Issue, Proxy and Value.
The characteristics are defined as follows:
   Creator - The Right of Voting Proxy used to create this Proxy.
   Issue   - The Voting Issue this Proxy is being created in reference to.
   Value   - The vote to be cast on the Voting Issue.

When a Proxy is created, the three required characteristics must be
unambiguously specified.  If the Issue is a Support of the Nomination of a
Player into the Hall of Elders, the Value is automatically set to 'Me Too'.
The Value characteristic must be a value which the Master of the Right of
Voting Proxy being used to create this Proxy could specify assuming they
were able to vote on the Voting Issue.  If the Master of the Right of Voting
Proxy is on Vacation, then for the purposes of this paragraph they are
treated as if they were not on Vacation.  This paragraph takes precedence
over any rules with which it conflicts.

If a current Proxy exists with the same values for Creator and Issue then
the current Proxy with those values is destroyed before the new Proxy is
created.

When the results of a Voting Issue are tallied, Proxys are counted as if the
Master of the Right of Voting Proxy specified in the Creator attribute
Player specified in the Proxee Characteristic had voted or supported the
nomination only for the purposes of determining the result of the Voting
Issue.   Any benefits or penalties incurred due to the Proxy are applied to
the Player named in the Creator Characteristic of the Proxy.  (For instance
any Mannna used to vote comes from the Creator, not the Proxee).  This
paragraph takes precedence over any rules which would prevent the vote cast
by the Proxy from being counted.

After the results of a Voting Issue are tallied, all Proxys with that
Issue are destroyed.

If the Player who is the Master of the Right of Voting Proxy used to create a
given Proxy votes on or supports the nomination for a given Voting Issue, any
Proxys created with that Right of Voting Proxy on that Issue are destroyed.

Create a new rule numbered 99-1-2 titled 'Right of Voting Proxy' with the
following text as delimited by VOTING_FREEDOM

VOTING_FREEDOM
Rights of Voting Proxy are Giftable, Operable entities.

Each Right of Voting Proxy has an Master characteristic associated with it.
The Player whose Ackanomic Name matches the Master characteristic of a
given Right of Voting Proxy is the Master of that Right of Voting Proxy.

If there ever exists a Player who is not the Master of a Right of Voting
Proxy, a Right of Voting Proxy is created in their possession with the Master 
characteristic set to that Player's Ackanomic Name.

If there ever exists a Right of Voting Proxy for which the Master is not a
Player, that Right of Voting Proxy is immediately destroyed as are any
Proxies created with that Right of Voting Proxy.

If the Master of a Right of Voting Proxy has their Ackanomic Name changed
(either voluntarily or involuntarily), then the Right of Voting Proxy for
which they are the Master has the Master characteristic immediately changed
to their new name.

If the Master of a Right of Voting Proxy is On Ice then the following occurs
immediately:
a) The Right of Voting Proxy which is associated with them is returned
   to their possession.
b) All Proxys created via that Right of Voting Proxy are destroyed.

{{

that Right of Voting Proxy be returned.   If the Master of a Right of Voting
Proxy does command this, the possessor of the Right of Voting Proxy will
immediatly perform a Return upon that Right of Voting Proxy.

The Creation of a Proxy fails if the Master of the Right of Voting Proxy
being Operated upon has already submitted a vote on or supported the
nomination for that Voting Issue.

If a Proposal currently under consideration is not the subject of a Bore

Bet as a public action.  The player who makes the Bore Bet shall be known
as the Gambling Bug of that proposal.

When proposal voting results are announced, if a proposal is boring then
its Gambling Bug, if such exists, shall receive 10 points, while if a
proposal is not boring then its Gambling Bug, if such exists, shall lose 5
points.
 
[Only accepted proposals are boring, so there needs to be a smaller
penalty for guessing failures.]

HAH
 
[I just feel that someone should be able to get some points when we have a
boring proposal.  Note that there is a Hubert condition, but if people get
sick of those who Hubert Bore Bets there is a simple solution - either
kill off the proposal or vote more than 60 on it to make sure it isn't
boring.]

	{{[Much of the later part of this rule is unchanged, and is included for ease
in understanding the way states would work after this prop]}}
	In the rules, replace all occurances of "Voting or Non-Voting" with "Active".
	Amend rule 4 to read as delimited by 51STSTATE
51STSTATE
	I. Player States
   
	All natural persons exist in exactly one of the following states:
	Active
	Vacationing
	On Ice
	Non-Player

	Those natural persons, and only those natural persons, who are not
Non-Players are Players.  Players are named, unownable, entities.  Non-Players
may observe the game and participate in discussions, but their posts shall not
affect the game state except as described in rule 4-1.  Non-Players are not
entities.
	No natural person may be associated with more than one player concurrently.
No matter how many times a person legally registers as a player in Ackanomic,
that person is always considered the same player. [That is, if a player quits
and later rejoins, e is considered the same player.]
	Active Players are Intelligent, Trading Entities.
	Vacationing or On Ice players (collectively known as Inactive players), or
Non-Players, are neither Intelligent nor Trading.
	II. Player-related Definitions
	a) Only Active players may be randomly selected for anything, except where
the rules specifically allow Inactive players to be selected.
	b) Inactive players may only leave the game, change their state, or send
public messages; they may perform no other actions.
	c) Where the rules refer to a "Vacationing" player, that specifically means a
player whose state is "Vacationing".
	d) A "Newbie" is a Player whose AckaAge is less than 21 days.
	e) A Player's AckaAge is the length of time since they first registered as a
Player of Ackanomic (or since when the game started, whichever is less).
	f) A "pending" Player is a Voting Player who has not voted on a proposal
since their most recent registration.
	g) A Player who has changed eir state from On Ice less than 21 days
ago having been On Ice continuously for at least 90 days prior to that, is
also a newbie. At any time while e is still a newbie, e may request that the
registrar select a mentor for em.

	III. Changing State

	A Player may change eir state as a public action by announcing the new player
state, provided e has not changed eir state as a public action during the past
3 days, and provided e follows all other restrictions placed on eir ability to
change states. When a player voluntarily ceases to be Vacationing if e did not
specify a new player state, e becomes Active. A player may never voluntarily
change eir state to Non-Player, but may have eir state changed to Non-Player
through the action of the rules. Whenever a player's state or level is
changed, the appropriate following section applies to them

	IV. Activity Levels
	All Players are either Voting or Non-Voting.  The activity level is latent
while the player is Inactive, however when the player becomes Active again eir
Voting/Non-Voting status is preserved.

	V. Upon Becoming Non-Voting:
	a) E is treated as having declined judgement on all CFJs that have been
assigned to em, and treated as having failed to return a verdict on any e has
accepted. This includes those for which the three day limit for declining has
passed; no deadbeat penalty is assigned, and the CFJ is randomly assigned as
in Rule 3-1.
	b) E is removed from all offices non-voting players cannot hold, and removed
from the list of candidates in any Election or Nomination for an office
non-voting players cannot hold.
	c) E is removed from the mentor pool.

	VI. Upon Becoming (and while) Vacationing:
	a) Their expected duration of Vacation is set at 28 days if unspecified,
otherwise it is calculated as 14 days plus the specified duration, with an
overriding minimum of 3 days and maximum of 75 days. (Durations specified as a
range of time are assumed to span from the time of specification until the end
of the specified range of time.) Players who go on Vacation voluntarily may
specify a duration at the time they specify they are going on Vacation.
	b) Upon having been on vacation for a period of time in excess of the
expected duration of eir vacation, their state is changed to On Ice.

	VII. Upon Becoming (and while) On Ice:
	a) They are removed from any offices they hold.
	b) Section IV is applied as if they became Non-Voting.
	c) All their existing votes on proposals, elections, and hearings whose
results have not yet been released are canceled.
	d) Their score is set to 0. Players who are On Ice never gain or lose points,
nor do they ever gain entities.
	e) They are removed from all Institutions of which they are a member.
	f) If the Player never voted, their state is changed to Non-Player.
	g) E ceases to own all of their mimsy entities.
	h) Upon being On-Ice for 90 days, their state is changed to Non-Player,
unless they (or their likeness) is enshrined in the Hall of Elders, in which
case they will never become a Non-Player.

   VIII. Upon Becoming a Non-Player:
	a) E is removed from the CFJ Ineligibility List if possible.
	b) E ceases to own all of eir entities. Any non-tradeable entities which
became wholly unowned after the application of the previous sentence are
destroyed.
	 This rule has precedence over all other rules.  Where rules other than this
one refer to Voting or Non-Voting players, they are assumed to refer only to
Active Voting or Active Non-Voting players unless they specifically include
Inactive players.

BLAH-delimited text:

BLAH
At noon every Sunday, the Complete And Magical Excellent Lottery Of
Torture (or CAMELOT) is performed.  This amazing lottery enthralls Ackans,
for it brings the risk of both great reward and great misfortune.
However, if there are fewer than 10 active players on any one Sunday at
noon, the lottery does not happen that day, to much wailing and gnashing
of teeth.

The lottery is conducted in the following manner:
(1) The OiCoRT chooses 6 distinct random active players in order.
(2) Each player so chosen receives the prize (or penalty) from those below
which matches their position.
The first player receives 1000 Mannna.
The second player receives a Chartreuse Goose Card.
The third player receives A$500.
The fourth player receives a Chartreuse Goose Card.
The fifth player receives 50 points.
The sixth player receives a Yellow Goose Card.
BLAH

[I don't believe 50 points, once a week, to a random active player, will
skew the game too much.  This proposal also increases the number of Goose
Cards running around, which should lead to some interesting changes in
strategy (remember, when you get a Goose Card you cannot achieve a Winning
Condition).]

---HARFY_NEVER_LOOKED_SO_GOOD
Harfmeister and "Funky and Stylish" are unique Titles. If, at any time, no
active player has the Title of Harfmeister, the Title is given to the Speaker.

The Harfmeister may, as a public action, designate a proposal currently
under voting consideration as Harfy. This action fails if there are already
three proposals designated Harfy or if the proposal specified is attributed
to the Harfmeister. A proposal designated Harfy remains so designated as
long as it is under voting consideration; it ceases to be designated Harfy
as soon as it ceases to be under voting consideration.

If a proposal that was designated Harfy passes, its author gains 5 points
(a score change based on proposal content) and the title of Harfmeister
passes from the current Harfmeister to the author of the Harfy proposal. If
two or more Harfy proposals are accepted simultaneously, the title of
Harfmeister shall go to the author of the highest numbered one.
   
The Harfmeister should also be on the lookout for players who engage in
particularly harfy courses of action: things which might later be
considered for a Silver Moon or at least are worth a good laugh at the
time. The Harfmeister can designate such players "Funky and Stylish" as a
public action.  This action fails if the player so designated is the
Harfmeister, or if this action has been performed in the last calendar
week.  When a player is designated "Funky and Stylish", e gains 5 points.

Create a new rule numbered 13-4 titled 'Pax Imperium' with the following
text as delimited by IMPERIUM_RULES

IMPERIUM_RULES
The Imperium once ruled Ackanomic.

Those players who are legally able to assume the Ackanomic Names of JT,
Studge, and Emperor Ai! Pedrito! are Imperial Governors (retired).   No
other players and no non-players are Imperial Governors (retired).

The Coliseum is a Sumptuous Building located in the Wilds of Ackanomic
equidistant from the Town and the City.  It is a common location. Around
the perimeter of the Coliseum are statues of every player (and the members
of any group) mentioned in rules that have 13 as their first number.

On the first Sunday of every month evenly divisible by two, Gladitorial
Games are started at the Coliseum.  If there are less than two players
eligible to participate in the Gladitorial Games, then this paragraph
repeals itself.  When Gladitorial
Games start, a majority of the Active Players who are Imperial Governors
(retired) select a game from among the Games and Contests defined by the
rules which are playable by two players.  Should no Game or Contest be
defined, or if there are no Active Players who are Imperial Governors then
no games will be held during that month.  Once the game is chosen, two
Gladiators are chosen.  Should insufficient players volunteer, Gladiators
will be chosen randomly from all eligible active players.  Players with
two Laurel Wreaths (of any color) are ineligible to participate.  The game
is then played by the two Gladiators as if it were a Duel (with all attendant
penalties and rewards).  One of the Imperial Governors (retired) will be
the Referee should one be required (which one decided on amongst the Imperial
Governors (retired)).  At the end of the Duel, the winner is given a Green
Laurel Wreath.

Laurel Wreaths are Medals which are manufactured in the colors of Green and
Gold.  They have no special game effect, but their owners should be
regarded with respect.
IMPERIUM_RULES

Each Imperial Governor (retired) is given two Gold Laurel Wreaths.

[OK.  I hate to admit it, because I like extraneous crap, but else...if is
right -- in part.  A lot of our current locations system is old harf that
needs to die.  I think what's worst about it is real estate.  No one buys
any land, no one cares what the positions of things are with respect to one
another, etc.  Here I keep all of the buildings and locations we've come to
know and love, but stop keeping track of the land on which all of that
takes place.  If the map-harfer dislikes this, i'll retract it; if anyone
else dislikes it, please let me know why before you just vote against.]

if this prop was not boring, Emperor Ai! Pedrito! loses 3 points and
else...if gains 3 points.

For each kaa of land owned by a player beyond the first, that player
receives A$15.

in rule 4-1, replace "1 kaa of urban land and a Small building" with "a
building"
remove the penultimate sentence of rule 10 (Geography)
in rule 6-4-13, remove ', and the Map of the City,' as well as the end of
the rule beginning from item d.
if rule 10-1-10 (Lonely Mountain) exists, delete ", occupying a single Kaa
of land" from it
repeal rule 10-2 (Land)
repeal rule 10-2-1 (Real Estate)
replace the text of rule 10-3 (Buildings) with:
"
Buildings are a class of named tradeable entity.  Buildings that are
unowned are destroyed unless they are rule-defined.  Regardless of
ownership, land and the buildings that reside on it are not considered to
be in the treasury.

I. Description:

i) The owner of a building may change its name or description as a public
action provided e unambiguously identifies the affected building. If a
player gives a house a description which is not in accord, its description
becomes "A one room apartment with no window, cinder block walls, a plain
wooden bench, and a pile of rags in one corner for a bed".
   
ii) A player may designate a single building e owns as eir home. A building
designated as a player's home is a Common Location that may only be entered
with the permission of its owner.
"
repeal rule 10-4-2 (Map of the City)
repeal rule 10-4-3 (Map of the Town)
repeal rule 10-5 (Earthquakes)

Strategies)

Append the following text to rule 4-6 (Reincarnating into the Third Cat):

The Brass Monkey is a great admirer of passive contemplation.  Because of
this, if the Passive Contemplator casts a nonzero vote on a proposal whose
number ends in 00, the Brass Monkey casts a vote with an absolute value of
60 with the same sign as that of the Passive Contemplator's vote.

E also likes reincarnation in general, so e casts a vote whose value
matches the vote of the Third Cat on all proposals whose numbers end in 57.

[Oh, gee, like IB and Robert Sevin, or whoever it is now, are really gonna
ABUSE this.  If someone is willing to go without proposals for so long just
for this, more power to em.  And I can't imagine it's more than a couple
dozen lines added to ackabot.]

[Well, there seemed to be little sentiment against it.]

Amend Rule 12-3-3 (Fictionary) by appending the following to step 2:
"
A Bluffer may change eir submitted definition at any time before the
definitions are posted in step 3.
"

Amend rule 7-14-10 (Otzma Card of Type Truthseeker) by replacing the
following CURRENT delimited text
CURRENT
   The Scholar of *ping* shall, within 3 days of the Card taking effect,
   privately post T words from the Machine's truth, undisguised, to the
   player who played the Card. Such post shall also unambiguously specify

Make Rule 7-1-13 (Le Grand Fromage) a decedent of Rule 4-8 (Quests Rule
Suite) and make it read in full:
"
Condition: A player owns one of each type of cheese defined in this
rule.
Reward: A Winning Condition.
Medal: A Harf Coloured Fondue Set

{{The players with (or formerly with) the names Dragon Mage, Alfvaen and
/dev/joe each receive A Harf Coloured Fondue Set.}}

When the condition for this quest is fulfilled all cheeses are
destroyed. 

There exists a class of non-tradable entity known as cheeses. There are
five varieties of cheeses, each with an associated condition. These are: 

1. Stilton: the ten most recent proposals e authored for which valid
voting results have been released were all accepted. 
2. Cheddar: E has had three harfy proposals accepted. 
3. Edam: E has held five offices. If a player is impeached an Edam is
created in eir possession and then all of eir edams are destroyed.
4. Gouda: E has won a game of grab a donkey or won three Games &
Contests containing five or more players.
5. Brie: E has won a Duel. If a player owns a brie when they lose a
Duel, that brie is destroyed. 

A player receives a cheese when e achieves its associated condition
since the creation of this rule or the most recent destruction of their
cheese of that type, whichever is more recent.

If a player owns more than one of any given variety of cheese then all
but one of that variety are destroyed.

[ Our ultimate goal here at WoW is to "replace the Rules for Ackanomic
with the rules for draughts," where "draughts" may be taken as an
unambiguous misspelling of "checkers."  Our straightforward attacks have
failed; perhaps lateral thinking can still save the day. ]

Replace each instance of the string "Ackanomic" in the Rules and all other
Official Documents with the string "The Rules for Checkers".

The Four Tops' "Same Old Song (With A Different Meaning Since You've Been
Gone)" begins playing on the ASS.

[ Certain players seem to think the amount of Crime in Ackanomic is
insufficient.  Let's show them.  All we have to do is ] create a new Rule,
numbered as the Rule-Harfer chooses, (in the Crime section, wherever that
is today, would be a good idea), entitled "The Caped Crusader Lives!" with
the following MIAMI-delimited text:

MIAMI
There is nothing wrong with Ackanomic's Crime rules as they stand.  To
insinuate otherwise is to commit the heinous Crime of Insubordination,
which shall be punished as harshly as possible.  Suggested penalties
include: being forced to listen to (and summarize) heated debates on
pointless topics, such as whether Acka has an "economy"; being locked in
the Library while the ASS is stuck on maximum volume playing Back Street
Boys; and refereeing a game of Word Un-Association.

The Crime Rules are perfect.  Ackanomic is perfect.

The Chartreuse Goose is your friend.

Are *you* happy, Citizen?
MIAMI

If this proposal is not Boring then take two points away from Studge and
give two points to Emperor Ai! Pedrito! [for doing my numbering for me].

Create a rule numbered as the Rule-Harfer sees fit (with the rest of the
Win Conditions would be a good place) with the following PAYMENTFORCAPITAL
delimted text.

PAYMENTFORCAPITAL
Any player of Ackanomic to cause Ackanomic to recieve actual currency in
excess of 10 US dollars (or the equivalent value of any other currency)
from some source in the extra-nomic "real world" (other than emselves or
some other player) shall have achieved a win condition.  Players who win in
this manner shall be given the title "Nomic Benefactor".
PAYMENTFORCAPITAL

{{[
   What happens if the greatest number of reincarnations is shared by more
   than one player?  Rule 4-6 appears to assume that this will not happen,
   as it assigns the title Third Cat to _the_ player who has been reincarnated
   the most times.  Likewise for Passive Contemplator, although a tie is
   much, much less likely to occur there.  This proposal will fix the
   situation by specifying that these titles only change hands when the
   current title holder is surpassed by another player.

   Oh, and ObExtortion: I just thought I should mention that with this
   proposal I am reincarnated a fourth time, thus tieing Robert Sevin for
   the most reincarnations.  :-)

Amend rule 4-6 (Reincarnating into the Third Cat) by replacing the second
paragraph with the following KARMA-delimited text:

KARMA
Third Cat is a unique title.  If a single active player active player has
been reincarnated more times than any other active player, but does not
have the title Third Cat, then that player receives the title Third Cat.

Passive Contemplator is a unique title.  If a single active player has a
greater difference between the numbers of two his chronologically
consecutive proposals than does any other active player, but does not have the
title Passive Contemplator, then that player receives the title Passive
Contemplator.

Create a new rule titled 'Evil Twins' with the following SIAMESE delimited
text
SIAMESE
Every player may have an equal and opposite player known as their Evil
Twin.

A player may as a public action declare another player to be their Evil
Twin.  If the player so named issued a declaration naming the first player
as their Evil Twin within 3 days, then those players are Evil Twins.  If
either of the players had an Evil Twin before this declaration occured
then those players are no longer Evil Twins.  Each player may only have
one Evil Twin.

A player may as a public action declare that their Evil Twin is no longer
their Evil Twin.   If either member of an Evil Twin pair makes such a
declaration then those players are no longer considered to be Evil Twins.

When votes are tallied, if the Evil Twins cast votes with the same sign,
then one of the two twins, chosen at random has the sign of their
vote reversed.   If the Evil Twins both voted 0, it is considered to be
the case that one of them voted +0 and the other voted -0 and thus no
change occurs.

SCARED_ANTS

{{[While I researched for this proposal, I noticed that there's really
not all that many people who fall within the bounds of the three-month
portion of the proposal who are more recent players. Perhaps an
incentive for new players to put audacious proposals (by the standard of
Newbies, who may feel slightly awkward at the
weirdness of it all) out early might get them more involved in the game
in the long run.

If this proposal passes, I offer to help the Financier find out just who
should get this order.]}}

The auspicious Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark seeks to recognize
those people with an inordinate compulsion to create rules and
ammendments as swiftly as possible in Ackanomic.

The Order's breadth extends from the period 3 months after the founding
of Ackanomic [because the initial rule set was sparse enough that the
first bunch of rules were created quickly and without much difficulty]
to however long the Rule remains in the rule set.

During the first three months after a player has joined Ackanomic, any
proposal which they authored which creates at least one new rule gains
the author the next successive rank in the Order of the Hyperactive
Aardvark.

After the first three months, a player may gain membership or successive
ranks in the Order of the Hyperactive Ardvark by passing 8 non-boring,
non-null proposals within a calendar month.   No more than one rank may
be gained in the Order of the Hyperactive Aardvark during any given
month.
