CURRENT RULES (APRIL 6TH, 1999)
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 101 - immutable
Obey The Rules
All players must always abide by all the rules then in effect, in the form
in which they are then in effect, and interpreted in accordance with
currently existing game custom. Until such time as they are legally
transmuted, Rules 101-115 are immutable, and Rules 201-221 are mutable.
[Initial rule 101]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 102 - immutable
The Speaker and Citizens
Each Player shall be either a Citizen or the Speaker; no Player may be both
at the same time. There will always be one Speaker. The term "Player" refers
to any Citizen or the Speaker.
[Initial rule 102]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 103 - immutable
What Is A Rule Change?
A rule change must be one of the following: (1) the enactment, repeal, or
amendment of a mutable rule; (2) the enactment, repeal, or amendment of an
amendment; or (3) the transmutation of an immutable rule into a mutable
rule, or vice versa.
[Initial rule 103]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 104 - immutable
Adopting Proposals
All proposals made in the proper way shall be voted on. Three conditions
must be satisfied for a proposal to be adopted: (1) a quorum must have been
achieved; (2) the required number of votes must have been cast in favour of
the proposal; and (3) the prescribed voting period must have elapsed or all
voters have cast a vote, whichever is first.
[Initial rule 104]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 105 - immutable
Proposals Must Be Written Down
Any proposed rule change must be written down (or otherwise communicated in
print or electronic media) before it is voted on. If adopted, it must guide
play in the form in which it was voted on.
[Initial rule 105]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 106 - immutable
When Proposals Can Take Effect
A rule change will take effect when either the prescribed voting period has
elapsed, or all voters have cast their vote, whichever is first.
No rule change may have retroactive application.
[Initial rule 106]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 107 - immutable
Numbering Proposals
The Speaker shall give each proposed rule change an ordinal number for
reference. The numbers shall begin with 301, and each rule change proposed
in the proper way shall receive the next successive ordinal, whether or not
the proposal is adopted. The effective ordinal number of a rule is the
ordinal number of the most recent change to that rule.
[Initial rule 107]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 108 - immutable
Mutable/Immutable Inconsistencies
Mutable rules that are inconsistent in some way with some immutable rule
(except by proposing to transmute it) are wholly void and without effect.
They do not implicitly transmute immutable rules into mutable rules and at
the same time amend them. Rule changes that transmute immutable rules into
mutable rules will be effective only if they explicitly state their
transmuting effect.
[Initial rule 108]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 109 - immutable
Making Proposals
The proper way to make a proposal is to send it by electronic mail to the
current Speaker. The Speaker will then distribute the proposal to all
Players. The prescribed voting period is the first full Turn after the
Speaker has distributed the proposal.
[Initial rule 109]
[Changed by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 110 [transmuted - see Rule 348]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 111 - immutable
Forfeiting The Game
A player always has the option to forfeit the game rather than continue to
play or incur a game penalty. No penalty worse than losing, in the judgement
of the player to incur it, may be imposed.
[Initial rule 111]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 112 - immutable
At Least One Mutable Rule
There must always be at least one mutable rule. The adoption of rule changes
must never become completely impermissible.
[Initial rule 112]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 113 - immutable
Rule Changes That Affect Rule Changing Rules
Rule changes that affect rules needed to allow or apply rule changes are as
permissible as other rule changes. Even rule changes that amend or repeal
their own authority are permissible. No rule change is impermissible solely
on account of the self-reference or self-application of a rule.
[Initial rule 113]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 114 - immutable
Voting Options
Voters may vote either for or against any proposal during the prescribed
voting period. Citizens should send their vote by electronic mail to the
Speaker before the end of the voting period. Voters who do not vote within
the prescribed period shall be deemed to have abstained.
[Initial rule 114]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 115 - immutable
Permissibility Of The Unprohibited
Whatever is not explicitly prohibited or regulated by a rule is permitted
and unregulated, with the sole exception of changing the rules, which is
permitted only when a rule or set of rules explicitly or implicitly permits
it.
[Initial rule 115]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 201 [amended - see Rule 303]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@

Rule 204 - mutable
One Voter One Vote
Each Voter has exactly one vote.
[Initial rule 204]

Rule 211 - mutable
Invoking Judgement
Any player who has a question or complaint about any matter concerning the
laws and their interpretation may email their statement to the Speaker, who
will then distribute it to the rest of the Citizens. A call for judgement is
then incurred on that statement. The Player who made the statement to be
judged is referred to as the Caller of that particular judgement.
[Initial rule 211]
[Changed by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 212 - mutable
Selecting A Judge
When Judgement has been called for, a Judge is randomly selected from among
the registered players, excluding the Caller, by the Speaker.
[Initial rule 212]
[Changed by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 213 - mutable
Delivering Judgement
A Judge has exactly one week in which to post an official Judgement. A Judge
who fails to deliver Judgement within that period is penalised 10 points.
[Initial rule 213]
[Changed by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 214 - mutable
Three Possible Judgements
There are only three possible Judgements: (1) True; (2) False; or (3)
Undecided. A Judgement may be accompanied by reasons and arguments, but any
such reasons and arguments form no part of the official Judgement itself.
[Initial rule 214]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 215 - mutable
Judgements Must Accord With The Rules
All Judgements must be in accordance with all the rules then in effect. When
the rules are silent, inconsistent, or unclear on the statement in question,
however, then the Judge shall consider currently existing game custom and
the spirit of the game in reaching a decision.
[Initial rule 215]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 216 - mutable
Judgements Are Not Rules
If a statement on which Judgement has been called is Judged to be true, and
that Judgement is not overruled, it does not thereby become a rule, or any
part of a rule. It merely becomes an explicit part of currently accepted
game custom.
[Initial rule 216]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 217 - mutable
Overturning Judgements
At any time in the week following the posting of a Judgement of "true" or
"false", any player may propose that the Judgement be overruled, i.e.
changed to "undecided". If that proposal is adopted, according to whatever
rules are currently in effect for the adoption of proposals, then the
Judgement is overruled, and the Judge who made it penalised 20 points.
[Initial rule 217]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 218 - mutable
Registered Players
A player is any person who is registered as a player. No person may register
as a player more than once concurrently. Anyone is allowed to observe the
game and participate in discussion of any issue, but no person who is not a
player may make a proposal, or vote on any proposal, or call for judgement,
or judge, or score points, or win the game.
[Initial rule 218]

Timing
The basic time unit of deNomic is a Turn. Each Turn begins Sunday at 08.00
hours and ends the following Sunday at 08.00 hours.
[Created by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 223 - mutable
Standing in Line
Each Player has a Proposal Queue, consisting of Proposals, Protoproposals
and Packages, collectively known as Queue Entries.
All Proposal Queues are administered by the Speaker.
When the Speaker receives a Queue Entry from a Player, the Queue Entry is
placed in the rear end of the Player's Proposal Queue.
Each Wednesday, the Speaker must distribute the two frontmost Queue Entries
from each Player. Those Queue Entries are then removed from the Player's
Proposal Queue.
A Player may at any time withdraw a non-distributed Queue Entry from his/her
Proposal Queue.
[Created by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 224 - mutable
Time
The time in deNomic is measured as in Denmark.
[Created by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]

Rule 225 - mutable
Pausing the Game
The Speaker may at any time declare a Pause in the Game.
Such a Pause must have a duration of a number of full weeks.
The duration of the Pause must be declared with the declaration of the
Pause.
[Created by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]

Rule 303 - mutable
Quorum
Quorum is defined to be 30% of the players. Voters who are not players do
not count for the purpose of determining quorum.
[Initial rule 201]
[Amended by Proposal 303]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 304 - mutable
Knowing your Ants
By stating his/her intention to do so, a player may lose a number of points
equal to the number of an Electric Ant. The player may then predict, what
the said Ant will vote, next time it is called upon to vote. The player must
name one of the Ant's possible voting options, as delineated in rule 221. If
the Ant votes as predicted by the player, and no other player made the same
prediction, the said Ant becomes the property of the said player. While an
Ant is a player's property, it will vote as determined by the player. This
rule takes precedence before rule 221.
[Enacted by Proposal 304]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 308 - mutable
Vegetables
There are Vegetables. Vegetables do not vote, nor do they win or lose any
points or anything else. If a rule refers to something as being a Vegetable,
then this rule takes precedence before the referring rule. This rule also
takes precedence before any rule that has a Q in its title.
[Enacted by Proposal 308]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 311 - mutable
Office of Agriculture
There exists an Office of Agriculture.
This office is held by a Citizen, chosen randomly by the Speaker.
The Citizen holding the Office of Agriculture can once a Turn produce one
Vegetable.
If any kinds of Vegetables are mentioned in the rules, the produced
Vegetable must be of one of the mentioned kinds. Otherwise, it is a generic
Vegetable. The holder of the Office of Agriculture notifies the Speaker as
to which kind of Vegetable is produced.
Each time a non-generic Vegetable is produced, the holder of the Office of
Agriculture receives four points. Each time a generic Vegetable is produced,
the holder of the Office of Agriculture receives one point.
[Enacted by Proposal 311]
[Changed by Administrative Review, April 6th, 1999]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 313 - mutable
Vegetable Taxation
The holder of the Office of Agriculture may tax the players for vegetables.
The taxation must be performed according to rules of equality decided by the
holder of the Office. The players must then pay to the holder of the Office
the number and type of vegetables due. If a player has too few vegetables to
be able to pay, he/she loses 3 points for each vegetable he/she is short of
payment.
Any player may present the holder of the Office with a
vote-of-no-confidence, referring to a specific taxation (not necessarily a
vote-of-no-confidence in the holder of the Office him/herself). If this vote
passes, then the taxation in question, and subsequent taxations up to the
time the vote is decided, are deemed void, and must be paid back.
If there is no holder of any Office of Agriculture, then the Speaker assumes
this rôle for the purpose of this rule.

Vegetables for Public Servants
The Speaker receives one vegetable every time a vote is decided.
A judge receives three vegetables for every point he/she makes a decision
about, except if the point in question is found to be undecided.
Other public servants are paid according to subsequent rules.
All payments must be made by the holder of the Office of Agriculture or, if
there is no holder of any Office of Agriculture, the Speaker.

Rule 325 - mutable
Offices
An Office is any position established by the Rules as such.
At any time, a given Office is held by exactly one Player. If an Office
would otherwise not be held by any Player, it shall be held by the Speaker.
An Officer is any Player who holds an Office.
A given Office has whatever duties, responsibilities, and privileges that
the Rules assign to it.
An Officer can be presented with a vote of no confidence at any time, and
can be removed from office by a 2/3 majority attained in a no confidence
vote. Such a vote can be initiated by any Citizen. A Citizen who initiates
such a vote of no confidence loses one point for each Vegetable in his/her
possession, and three points for each Vegetable in the possession of the
relevant Officer. Those points are returned to the initiating Citizen if the
Officer is removed.

Change of points
The number of points that a player has can only be changed when explicitly
allowed by a rule.
[Enacted by Proposal 326]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 327 - mutable
Feed and care of animals
Ants, even Electrical, are animals, and as such must be fed.
Each time a player-owned Ant votes for or against a proposal, it needs food.
Therefore it will eat one of it's owner's Vegetables, thus causing the
Vegetable to be no more. If the owner has no Vegetables, the Ant will return
to its original randomness, and cease to belong to its owner.
The Ants will eat in numerical succession.
[Enacted by Proposal 327]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 328 - mutable
Security
No possesion, points, ants or vegetables can be harmed, changed or removed
from any players possesion unless otherwise stated in the rules.
[Enacted by Proposal 328]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 329 - mutable
Theft
Any player can steal any of another players possesions except points. Succes
is determined with a 50% probability by the speaker. A player who fails a
theft is penalised 3 points.
[Enacted by Proposal 329]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 330 - mutable
Protoproposals
All players can make Protoproposals.
The proper way to make a Protoproposal is to send it by electronic mail to
the current Speaker.
The Speaker will then distribute the Protoproposal to all Players.
The Speaker shall give each Protoproposal an ordinal number for reference.
The numbers shall begin with 10001, and each Protoproposal shall receive the
next successive ordinal.
A week after the distribution of the Protoposal, it becomes a Proposal in
the form it has at that time, and shall receive a Proposal Number as if it
had been proposed at this same time.
The original maker of a Protoproposal may within this week make minor
changes in the wording of the Protoproposal.
The original maker of a Protoproposal may, also within this week, withdraw
the Protoproposal by informing the Speaker of his/her doing so. A player
withdrawing a Protoproposal loses two points.
If, during this same week, a player who is not the original maker of the
Protoproposal makes a Proposal that is identical or almost identical to the
Protoproposal, the said player shall lose 5 points, and the maker of the
Protoproposal shall receive 5 points.
[Enacted by Proposal 330]

Rule 331 - mutable
Entities and properties
There are Game Entities and Real Entities.
Game Entities exist only within deNomic, and as such, have only Game
Properties.
Real Entities exist outside of deNomic, and may, if they also exist within
deNomic, have Game Properties.
Game Properties may only be changed by means provided within this Ruleset.

Death of a Citizen
If a citizen has shown no sign of life for 14 days, the citizen is
considered dead. A dead citizen shall not be considered a player.
If a dead citizen later proves conclusively that he/she is in fact alive,
he/she must immediately be revitalised as a player.
Sign of life is defined as an email from the citizen to the speaker.

Rule 348 - mutable
Winning The Game
The state of affairs that constitutes winning the game may not be changed
from achieving n points to any other state of affairs. However, the
magnitude of n and the means of earning points may be changed, and rules
that establish a winner when play cannot be continued may be enacted and
(while mutable) be amended or repealed. The winner of the last game shall
become the new Speaker for the next game, assuming all current duties
allocated to the Speaker.

Rule 349 - mutable
Resolving Conflicts
If two or more immutable rules conflict with one another, then the rule with
the lowest effective ordinal number takes precedence.
If two or more mutable rules conflict with one another, then the rule with
the highest effective ordinal number takes precedence.
If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it
defers to another rule (or type of rule), then such provisions shall
supersede the numerical method for determining precedence.
If at least one of the rules in conflict explicitly says of itself that it
takes precedence over another rule (or type of rule), then such provisions
shall supersede the numerical method for determining precedence.
If two or more rules claim to take precedence over one another, or to defer
to one another, however, the numerical method must govern.

Rule 350 - immutable
Winning By Paradox
If the rules are changed so that further play is impossible, or if the
legality of some action cannot be determined with finality, or if some
action appears equally legal and illegal, then a player may call for
judgement on a statement to that effect. If the statement is judged true,
and the judgement is not overruled, then the player who called for judgement
is declared the winner of the game. This rule takes precedence over every
other rule for determining the winner of the game.

I promised you a WHAT?
A trade is just an exchange of gifts. If two players agree to a trade, the

Rule 361 - mutable
Monsanto Man
Monsanto Man is a Public Servant, who holds the Office of Devegetation.
Each Monday, Monsanto Man may release one or more doses of his vile poison,
causing each player to lose one Vegetable per dose released. Players with
less than one Vegetable lose no Vegetables. For every dose released beyond
the first on a given Monday, Monsanto Man will lose one point.
If, on any given Sunday, more than 200 Vegetables, totally, are owned by the
Players, Monsanto Man must, on the firstcoming Monday, release enough doses
of his vile poison to bring the number of Vegetables below 200.
Monsanto Man receives 10 points each time he brings the total number of
Player-owned Vegetables below 200.
Monsanto Man is randomly chosen among the Players.
Monsanto Man has an infinite number of doses of his vile poison.

Random Voters
There are 10 Electric Ants.
These are non-player Voters.
When all players have voted on a proposal, or immediately before the
prescribed voting period on a proposal has elapsed, a number of Electric
Ants equal to 10 minus the number of active registered players (or 0 if that
would be a negative number) will vote on that proposal.
The Speaker shall randomly determine, with equal probability, whether each
of these Electric Ants abstains, votes for, or votes against.

Packages
A Player can submit several Proposals in a Package.
A Package consists of two or more Proposals, submitted at the same time, and
must have a title.
A Package shall be assigned the number of the lowest-numbered Proposal in
it, and the number of the highest-numbered Proposal in it.
A Package shall be voted upon as one Proposal. If the Package is defeated,
each of the Proposals in the Package is to be voted upon.
If a Package is adopted, its proponent shall receive 5 points for the
adoption of the Package, plus the number of points he/she would receive for
the adoption of the Proposals in the Package, had the Proposals been
submitted singly.
If a Package is defeated, its proponent shall lose 5 points.

Rule 395 - mutable
You silly Person!
Any player with a negative number of points can declare him/herself Silly.
While Silly, the player gains points, when he/she should have lost points
(as per any other rule), and vice versa.
A Silly player must write all messages backwards, otherwise the messages are
invalid and must be disregarded.
A player stops being Silly only when he/she has more than the average number
of points or when he/she has been the client of an ambulant psychiatrist for
24 hours.
If at any time all players but one are Silly, the non-Silly player becomes
the winner of the game.

Zeitgeist
When a non-Correction Proposal is adopted with no votes cast AGAINST it, the
Proponent of the said Proposal is awarded the title of Zeitgeist.
All current holders of the title of Zeitgeist lose the title whenever it is
newly awarded.
The Speaker is responsible for detecting and reporting the awarding of this
title.
When a Player is awarded the title of Zeitgeist, the holder of the Office of
Agriculture shall pay out one Vegetable to that Player. If this cannot be
accomplished, all Players shall lose one Vegetable. This Rule takes
precedence before any Rule that would prevent it from having its effects.

Jeg kan godt gå ind for de nye regler. Selvfølgelig kan de enkelte punkter diskuteres, men det kan vi jo netop gøre, når spillet kommer i gang igen. (Du kunne dog godt have noteret, hvilke regler, der er blevet fjernet).

Dette er sådan cirka hvad jeg har gjort:
1. (Næsten) alle geografi-relaterede elementer er fjernet.
2. Der er indført ture. Man kan kun få to forslag distribueret om ugen.
3. Judge-systemet er ændret. Klageren kan nu ikke blive dommer. Speakeren
kan derimod godt.
4. Der er indført en mulighed for at Speakeren kan stille spillet på
Pause. Det skal ske for et antal _hele_ uger, så spillet bliver genoptaget på samme ugedag som det blev pauset.
5. Monsanto Mans rutiner er ændret.

Det første der sker er at Monsanto Man skal udpeges. Vi har ingen regel til at sikre nybesættelse af Offices, så Rune fortsætter som 'landbrugsminister'. Alle har samme mængde point og andet som de havde ved afslutningen af spil

Jeg synes i det mindste pointene skal nulstilles. Man kunne godt forsvare at nulstille det hele, men pointene er jo specielt betydningsfulde -- og slutstillingen med point fra forrige spil er især resultat af, i hvor høj grad den enkelte spiller har misbrugt den gamle "you silly person" regel.

Så skal vi finde Monsanto Man og Officer of Agriculture som det første. Så er vi også slemt grøntsags- og myreløse.

Subject: deNomic New proposal: volontary judges
|
| |
I propose the following new rule:
"Voluntary Judges
Any player may declare himself a voluntary judge.
Whenever a judge is to be selected, any voluntary judges that qualify shall be considered before any other players. In this respect, this rule takes precedence over other rules for selecting a judge; however, the other rules shall still determine which players qualify as judge, and how to select amongst the voluntary judges or amongst the other players if no voluntary judges qualify.
A voluntary judge gains 10 points for each valid judgment he makes.
If ever a voluntary judge fails to submit a judgment on time, he stops being a voluntary judge. A voluntary judge may also resign."

Sadly, we never got to vote on Kira's ingenious protoproposals.
So now I submit them as a package of proposals. Of course, some of the rule may seem odd now that we've got no geography, but well, we may still vote on them, and -- who knows -- we might get geography again one day.

Rule 103 - immutable
What Is A Rule Change?
A rule change must be one of the following: (1) the enactment, repeal, or
amendment of a mutable rule; (2) the enactment, repeal, or amendment of an
amendment; or (3) the transmutation of an immutable rule into a mutable
rule, or vice versa.
[Initial rule 103]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@

Adopting Proposals
All proposals made in the proper way shall be voted on. Three conditions
must be satisfied for a proposal to be adopted: (1) a quorum must have been
achieved; (2) the required number of votes must have been cast in favour of
the proposal; and (3) the prescribed voting period must have elapsed or all
voters have cast a vote, whichever is first.
[Initial rule 104]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 105 - immutable
Proposals Must Be Written Down
Any proposed rule change must be written down (or otherwise communicated in

When Proposals Can Take Effect
A rule change will take effect when either the prescribed voting period has
elapsed, or all voters have cast their vote, whichever is first.
No rule change may have retroactive application.
[Initial rule 106]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 107 - immutable
Numbering Proposals
The Speaker shall give each proposed rule change an ordinal number for

@---@---@---@---@---@---@
Rule 108 - immutable
Mutable/Immutable Inconsistencies
Mutable rules that are inconsistent in some way with some immutable rule
(except by proposing to transmute it) are wholly void and without effect.
They do not implicitly transmute immutable rules into mutable rules and at
the same time amend them. Rule changes that transmute immutable rules into
mutable rules will be effective only if they explicitly state their
transmuting effect.

[Clarified by Judgement 8]
@---@---@---@---@---@---@

Rule Changes That Affect Rule Changing Rules
Rule changes that affect rules needed to allow or apply rule changes are as

their own authority are permissible. No rule change is impermissible solely

game custom.

Rule 217 - mutable
Overturning Judgements
At any time in the week following the posting of a Judgement of "true" or
"false", any player may propose that the Judgement be overruled, i.e.
changed to "undecided". If that proposal is adopted, according to whatever
rules are currently in effect for the adoption of proposals, then the
Judgement is overruled, and the Judge who made it penalised 20 points.

A player is any person who is registered as a player. No person may register

When the Speaker receives a Queue Entry from a Player, the Queue Entry is
placed in the rear end of the Player's Proposal Queue.
Each Wednesday, the Speaker must distribute the two frontmost Queue Entries
from each Player. Those Queue Entries are then removed from the Player's
Proposal Queue.
A Player may at any time withdraw a non-distributed Queue Entry from his/her
Proposal Queue.

Knowing your Ants
By stating his/her intention to do so, a player may lose a number of points
equal to the number of an Electric Ant. The player may then predict, what
the said Ant will vote, next time it is called upon to vote. The player must
name one of the Ant's possible voting options, as delineated in rule 221. If
the Ant votes as predicted by the player, and no other player made the same
prediction, the said Ant becomes the property of the said player. While an
Ant is a player's property, it will vote as determined by the player. This
rule takes precedence before rule 221.

Office of Agriculture
There exists an Office of Agriculture.
This office is held by a Citizen, chosen randomly by the Speaker.
The Citizen holding the Office of Agriculture can once a Turn produce one
Vegetable.
If any kinds of Vegetables are mentioned in the rules, the produced
Vegetable must be of one of the mentioned kinds. Otherwise, it is a generic
Vegetable. The holder of the Office of Agriculture notifies the Speaker as
to which kind of Vegetable is produced.
Each time a non-generic Vegetable is produced, the holder of the Office of
Agriculture receives four points. Each time a generic Vegetable is produced,
the holder of the Office of Agriculture receives one point.

Vegetable Taxation
The holder of the Office of Agriculture may tax the players for vegetables.
The taxation must be performed according to rules of equality decided by the
holder of the Office. The players must then pay to the holder of the Office
the number and type of vegetables due. If a player has too few vegetables to
be able to pay, he/she loses 3 points for each vegetable he/she is short of
payment.
Any player may present the holder of the Office with a
vote-of-no-confidence, referring to a specific taxation (not necessarily a
vote-of-no-confidence in the holder of the Office him/herself). If this vote
passes, then the taxation in question, and subsequent taxations up to the
time the vote is decided, are deemed void, and must be paid back.
If there is no holder of any Office of Agriculture, then the Speaker assumes
this rôle for the purpose of this rule.

Offices
An Office is any position established by the Rules as such.
At any time, a given Office is held by exactly one Player. If an Office
would otherwise not be held by any Player, it shall be held by the Speaker.
An Officer is any Player who holds an Office.
A given Office has whatever duties, responsibilities, and privileges that
the Rules assign to it.
An Officer can be presented with a vote of no confidence at any time, and
can be removed from office by a 2/3 majority attained in a no confidence
vote. Such a vote can be initiated by any Citizen. A Citizen who initiates
such a vote of no confidence loses one point for each Vegetable in his/her
possession, and three points for each Vegetable in the possession of the
relevant Officer. Those points are returned to the initiating Citizen if the
Officer is removed.

Feed and care of animals
Ants, even Electrical, are animals, and as such must be fed.
Each time a player-owned Ant votes for or against a proposal, it needs food.
Therefore it will eat one of it's owner's Vegetables, thus causing the
Vegetable to be no more. If the owner has no Vegetables, the Ant will return
to its original randomness, and cease to belong to its owner.
The Ants will eat in numerical succession.

Protoproposals
All players can make Protoproposals.
The proper way to make a Protoproposal is to send it by electronic mail to
the current Speaker.
The Speaker will then distribute the Protoproposal to all Players.
The Speaker shall give each Protoproposal an ordinal number for reference.
The numbers shall begin with 10001, and each Protoproposal shall receive the
next successive ordinal.
A week after the distribution of the Protoposal, it becomes a Proposal in
the form it has at that time, and shall receive a Proposal Number as if it
had been proposed at this same time.
The original maker of a Protoproposal may within this week make minor
changes in the wording of the Protoproposal.
The original maker of a Protoproposal may, also within this week, withdraw
the Protoproposal by informing the Speaker of his/her doing so. A player
withdrawing a Protoproposal loses two points.
If, during this same week, a player who is not the original maker of the
Protoproposal makes a Proposal that is identical or almost identical to the
Protoproposal, the said player shall lose 5 points, and the maker of the
Protoproposal shall receive 5 points.

Subject: deNomic - Amend 311
|
| |
I propose this:
Amend:
"Rule 311 - mutable
Office of Agriculture
There exists an Office of Agriculture.
This office is held by a Citizen, chosen randomly by the Speaker.
The Citizen holding the Office of Agriculture can once a Turn produce one
Vegetable.
If any kinds of Vegetables are mentioned in the rules, the produced
Vegetable must be of one of the mentioned kinds. Otherwise, it is a generic
Vegetable. The holder of the Office of Agriculture notifies the Speaker as
to which kind of Vegetable is produced.
Each time a non-generic Vegetable is produced, the holder of the Office of
Agriculture receives four points. Each time a generic Vegetable is produced,
the holder of the Office of Agriculture receives one point."
to have this wording:
"Rule 311 - mutable
Office of Agriculture
There exists an Office of Agriculture.
This office is held by a Citizen, chosen randomly by the Speaker.
The Citizen holding the Office of Agriculture can once a Turn produce one
Vegetable to be included in the Agricultural Foundation.
If any kinds of Vegetables are mentioned in the rules, the produced
Vegetable must be of one of the mentioned kinds. Otherwise, it is a generic
Vegetable. The holder of the Office of Agriculture notifies the Speaker as
to which kind of Vegetable is produced.
Each time a non-generic Vegetable is produced, the holder of the Office of
Agriculture receives four points. Each time a generic Vegetable is produced,
the holder of the Office of Agriculture receives one point."
