Is it your intent to both amend this rule, and change its status from 
Article to Law?  This isn't clear, but my bigger worry is that I don't think 
we have procedures in place to transmute a law at all.  (I could be 
mistaken; I don't have the ruleset to hand.)

I vote AGAINST this proposal for another reason: if a law, when passed, 
applies to only one person, that person is uniquely identified.  I don't 
want to constrain ourselves from writing a rule that, for example, subtracts 
five points each Monday from the player with the most points.  If it weren't 
for this, I'd probably vote PRESENT (or simply abstain); I agree with 
David's thought that we SHOULD be allowed to reward a player by name.
