OK.  I think that this make you the proposer for the purposes of Rule 10,
even for those rules initially suggested by other people.

Aye.

This has already passed, as Rule 11, has it not?  Nay.

Aye.  Although, as with "demerit", I'm unhappy about using terms like
"list" and "post" that are part of rules that haven't passed.

Aye.  Although I'd prefer two separate rules:
A. The mailing list at nomic02@wurb.com will be considered a part of the
   game, and will be refered to as The List. To "post" something is to
   send it to the list.
B. Any player who does not post for a week (that
   is, a seven-day period of non-posting following their latest post,
   counted from the time of day the last post was made) will incur one
   demerit. Further week-long delays, counted from the latest invocation
   of this rule, will each incur one additional demerit.
Consider this a proposal.

Aye.  In light of complaints about the use of the word "lounge", I'd be
happy to accept a different name for the initial location - say, "West of
House", or "Attic", or "Under the High Wall (on a resting)".
