II. PLAYERS
1. Anyone may join the game and become a player by informing the admin. Each player must have a unique email address and a unique name that will not confuse or annoy the game's community.
2. The admin is not considered to be a player.
3. Every player is either a Freemason or belongs to one of four Teams: the North Team, the South Team, the East Team, or the West Team. Each new player is added to one of the geographical Teams with the fewest players, randomly and with equal probability.
4. Two players may declare themselves Best Friends if each of them send mail stating their intentions to the admin during the same week. Either one of the two players may end their state of friendship by declaring her intent to the admin. A player may only have one Best Friend at a time; no player may become Best Friends with anyone for at least two weeks after a friendship she is part of is dissolved.
5. If, at any point, there are no players on a Team, then all references to Teams will be removed from the ruleset.
6. A player can declare herself to be a Freemason at any time.
7. When a player joins the game, if there is no unowned square which is not mentioned in the rules, a new square is created by New Clear Fishing (with no fee being paid by anyone). The new player is then given ownership of the lowest numbered unowned square which is not mentioned in the rules.
8. A player may leave the game by informing the admin. The player may choose one of the following to happen as they leave:

All of the player's assets, including all cash, all property, and all objects, will be donated to the Government. The Government will retain all cash, and auction all property in accordance with rule X.7. Objects will be auctioned off in the same auction as one item, called a Grab Bag, and otherwise treated like property to be auctioned.
All of the player's assets, including all cash, all property, and all objects, will be donated to the Corporation. The Corporation will retain all cash, and offer to sell all property and objects at 120% market value. Any player may purchase these property and objects at any time from anywhere, first come first serve.
All of the player's assets will be distributed randomly to the other players in the following manner: One square of property, one object, and a bundle of money up to $200 (as much as possible to fill a bundle) is considered one "thing" (not and official game term, but just for the purposes of this rule). The Admin will pick a random player (with uniform probabiliy--not the departing player, of course) that hasn't yet been given a thing and give her one thing, until all things are given out. If every player has received a thing by this rule, then the Admin will pretend nobody received a thing, and continue giving out things.
All of the player's assets will be distributed randomly to the other players in her team, as per the method described in the previous item.
All of the player's assets will be donated to a surviving player of the exiting player's choice.
If a departing player does not specify an asset dispursal method, the choice will default to the first method.
9. If a player leaves the game, but in doing so causes a surviving player to win within 1 week (either by qualifying as the Winner or winning a Messed Up game), then the player leaving the game shall be called the Ex-Scammer, and shall receive second place for outside accounting purposes. If more than one exiting player is responsible for the win, then second place shall be shared.

b) that player owns at least one Block
c) she owns more than 50% of the player-owned squares
d) that player has more Nomopoly money than any other player
e) that player owns the most Corporate shares
and, if that player fits none of the following criteria:

3. If at any time the rules, whether by accident or intent, do not permit the game to continue but do not declare a clear winner, the game will be considered to be Messed Up, and the player with the highest Net Value will be declared the Winner.
4. If no player can be named Winner, yet one player could make his Best Friend be named Winner by donating all his property to her, then the pair of Best Friends will win the game without the donation being neccessary. For outside accounting purposes, the Best Friend with the most money will be considered the "first place" winner and the other Best Friend will be ranked second.

4.	If no player can be named Winner, yet one player could make his Best Friend be named Winner by donating all his property to her, then the pair of Best Friends will win the game without the donation being neccessary. For outside accounting purposes, the Best Friend with the most money will be considered the "first place" winner and the other Best Friend will be ranked second.

IV. MONEY
1. Each player starts the game with $1000 of Nomopoly money.
2. If a non-Bankrupt player "is fined" or "loses" some amount of money to the admin or The Government, then the amount is subtracted from the player's money and added to The Government's money. If a player (She) "pays" or "gives" some amount of money to another entity in Nomopoly (He), then the amount is subtracted from Her money and added to His money.
3. If a player "gets" or "is awarded" some amount of money, the amount is added to the player's total.
4. All amounts of money are rounded to the nearest dollar.
5. If a player is fined, loses, pays, or gives some amount of money greater than the amount of money she has, that player is Bankrupt. If the player is a member of a Team, and if that player's Team has enough money collectively to pay the debt, then the player's Teammates will each pay an equal amount to the Bankrupt player, the minimum amount for the player to pay his debts. (This may cause other Teammates to go Bankrupt.) After paying, if all the player's Teammates agree, the player can be removed from the Team and turned into a Freemason. If a Bankrupt player is not a member of a Team with enough funds to pay the debt, and the player owns squares, then all squares owned by that player become owned by the Government, the player is paid market value for all of those squares and must then attempt to pay off the debt. If a Bankrupt player is not a member of a Team with enough funds to pay the debt, and the player owns no squares, then the money she has is paid to her creditors, the player is marked with a Bad Credit Rating, and the payment is considered to have been written off as bad debt.
6. Anyone with a Bad Credit Rating may remove it by paying $200.

VI. THE BOARD
1. The game shall include a collection of sequentially numbered squares known as the board. The board shall always contain at least one square.
2. Each player occupies exactly one square. There is no limit to the number of players that may occupy the same square. New players will start on the first square.
3. When the board contains more than one square, squares in the board are laid out in a two-dimensional, snaking pattern of vertically stacked rows. Each row, except possibly the last, contains (floor(sqrt(total-squares)) squares. In the first row, each square's successor borders its eastern side, except for the highest numbered square in the row, whose successor can be found bordering its northern side. In the second row, each square's successor can be found bordering its western side, except for the highest numbered square in the row, whose successor can be found bordering its northern side. The pattern then repeats, alternating between east and west until the last square is reached. "East", "West", "North", and "South" refer to directions across the board in terms of this layout. When the board only contains one square, these directions and its layout are degenerate.
4. If a square is North, South, East, or West of another square, then the two squares are said to be "adjacent".
5. The first square is known as the Southwest Corner of the board. The Easternmost square of the first row is known as the Southeast Corner of the board. The Northwest Corner of the board is the Westernmost square of the last row, unless the last row has fewer squares than the next-to-last row, in which case the Northwest Corner is the Westernmost square of the next-to-last row. The Northeast Corner of the board is the Easternmost square of the row which contains the Northwest Corner.
6. If the board has at least nine squares, then for each of the four geographic Teams, there is a region on the board known as that Team's base. The West Team's base consists of all squares that can be reached both by moving South from the Northwest Corner and by moving North from the Southwest Corner. The East Team's base consists of all squares that can be reached both by moving South from the Northeast Corner and by moving North from the Southeast Corner. The South Team's base consists of all squares that can be reached both by moving East from the Southwest Corner and by moving West from the Southeast Corner. The North Team's base consists of all squares that can be reached both by moving East from the Northwest Corner and by moving West from the Northeast Corner.
7. Any player may pay $300 to create a new square, numbered higher than any other on the board. This process is known as New Clear Fishing.
8. A square's "successor" is the square with the next highest number; the highest numbered square's successor is the first square. A square's "predecessor" is the square with the next lowest number; the first square's predecessor is the highest numbered square.

VII. TURNS
1. When a player takes a turn, if there is at least one White square on the board, then the player rolls two dice (or merely one if the player is Sick or Hurt) and, once for each pip shown on the dice, moves from her current square to its successor (or to its predecessor if the player is In Reverse). The player is said to "leave" her current square and to "pass through" each square after that until the final advance is made. The player is then said to "land in" or "land on" that square. Only other rules governing passing through or leaving squares can interrupt the series of consecutive advances made in a turn.
2. When a player takes a turn, if there are no White squares on the board, then no change is made to the game state.
3. If the dice rolled for a player's turn show doubles, the player earns another turn to be taken immediately. During the extra turn, that player is considered to be "speeding".
4. If a player has been speeding for two or more consecutive turns, then the player will be fined $40 plus $15 for every turn in excess of the first two.
5. If a player is moved from the highest numbered square to its successor as part of a normal turn or CL turn, that player will earn $400.
6. If a non-Speeding player rolls a 7 or 11, that player is given $100 and is moved as if she had rolled twice the number of pips showing. If a Speeding player rolls a 7 or 11, that player is fined $50 and takes his turn In Reverse.

Each time a 'Bot is called upon to absorb a payment, three dice are rolled by the 'Bot owner, and if the owner rolls a total of three or fewer pips, then the 'Bot will explode. An exploding 'Bot destroys the closest destroyable square to the square occupied by its owner and then disappears from the game. After absorbing three payments, regardless of any malfunctions, the 'Bot will disappear from the game.

Orange, Bonus Issues (Corporate Virtue): All Corporate stockholders receive $1 for each 10 Shares they own. The number of Stocks present in the game increase by 10%.
Yellow, Extortion (Corporate Vice): All players pay $200 to the Corporation.
Green, Pollution (Corporate Vice): If any Factory is not a pollutant, then a random Factory becomes a pollutant. Otherwise, a random successor or predecessor of a Factory becomes a pollutant.
Blue, Creative Accounting (Corporate Vice): All the Corporation's money is transferred to the SBA, along with whatever additional funds are required to make the trasnfer total at least $4000.
Indigo, Negligence (Corporate Vice): Players who do not own Corporate Stock become Sick.

Navy, Health Care (Government Virtue): All Sick players become Non-Sick.
Khaki, Science & Technology (Government Virtue): All players may purchase one Experimental Technology, paid for by The Government whenever possible.
Teal, Infrastructure (Government Virtue): Eight new squares will be added to the board.
Lime, Palm-Greasing (Government Vice): All players who are not Registered Voters pay $300. Each Registered Voter receives an equal share of the collected money, not to exceed $200, with surplus going to the SBA.
Fuchsia, Taxation (Government Vice): All players pay $500 to The Government.

4. A Corporate Player will take a turn once per week, moving as if it always uses one Extra Die for rolling. The Corporate Player behaves in all ways as a player, except it cannot get Sick and it does not move in the CL phase. If the Corporate Player lands on a square owned by another player, and if The Corporation has at least $2500, then the Corporate Player will offer to buy the square for a price of 2.17 times the square's market value (rounded down) plus $300 if the square has a Store plus $200 for each Original Product sold at the Store. If a player gives a non-Corporate-colored square to the Corporate Player, the square will be changed to a randomly chosen Corporate color.
5. The Insane Scary Screaming Suicidal Guy (TISSSG) will take a turn once per week, moving as if it always uses one Extra Die for rolling. When TISSSG finishes his move, he will scream at all players who occpuy his square, causing them to be Hurt. If TISSSG also occupies the same square as any pseudoplayers, all pseudoplayers on that square (including TISSSG) will be destroyed.
Any player may pay $350, causing The Insane Scary Screaming Suicidal Guy to become The Sane Mellow Silent Guy (TSMSG). TSMSG moves as TISSSG, but does not Hurt other players or pseudoplayers. If TSMSG ever moves to a square which includes The Elephant, TSMSG will be trampled to death and removed from the game.

XXXIII.	PSEUDPLAYERS
1.	Each of these pseudoplayers has a position on the board and is controlled by the admin, who has the power to make decisions for it whenever a choice is available. None of these pieces has the abilities of a player unless specifically noted.
2.	An elephant has escaped from the Zoo. The elephant can be colored any color that is legal for a square to be colored. Once per week, it rolls one die and behaves as follows: on a it moves South (if possible); on a it moves West (if possible); on a it moves East (if possible); on a it moves North (if possible); on a all players sharing a square with the elephant become Sick; on a the elephant removes all coatings from its current square and recolors the square to match the Elephant Skin Color. Players who occupy the same square as the elephant may "feed" it items, donating the item to the elephant. If the elephant owns four items, then each time it receives a new item it has a 50% chance of Expelling. When the elephant Expels, half of its items are destroyed, the other half are given to the player whose feeding caused it to Expel, all players occupying the same square become Sick, and the elephant's current square becomes painted in the Elephant Expulsion Color.
3.	A Phantom Piece will take a turn once per week. If any rule states that the Phantom Piece should land in a square, the Phantom Piece will not land in the square but merely occupy it.
