RE: [nbo] Proposal Togas.3 -- Bob

["Dickens, David" <David.Dickens@pepperdine.edu>]

While I have some trouble with the language (I suppose some edits can happen
at a later date), I'm very interested in weird constructs like this.

As for the name Bob.  Well, I admit, it's very un-god-like.  But the
traditions of Bob and it's heritage cannot be denied.  It is precisely for
Bob's un-god-like nature (in name and otherwise) that he was raised to deity
status.

It should be noted that there is no way "expressly" in the law for the
initial appointment or election of Bob's High Priest.  I can only guess
we'll have to add that in.

I vote FOR Togas3.

Subject: [nbo] Proposal Togas.3 -- Bob


Proposal Creating Bob
-----------------------------
Upon ratification of this proposal the following laws are created:

TheHolyDeityBob
1) The Nomic recognizes Bob, in all of his splendor and wisdom, as the only
divine being worshiped by players of the Nomic.
2) This law, upon ratification, creates the Holy Deity Bob as a player in
the Nomic.  
3) Bob has all the rights and privileges of a player in the Nomic with the
following exceptions:
	Bob may not ever lose points.
	Bob may not call for a Judicial Ruling.
	Bob must always decline to judge a Judicial Ruling.

HighPriest
1) This law, upon ratification, creates the office of Nomic High Priest	
2) The High Priest is the holy voice of Bob in the Nomic, and as such, he or
she is the only one who speaks for Bob.  The high priest will communicate to
the Nomic Bob's will regarding proposals, votes, and any other actions
authorized by the rules.
3) The High Priest may not ever disagree with Bob.
4) The High Priest must speak on Bob's behalf at least twice a week. 
5) The High Priest must, once a week, communicate to all the Nomic a new
"teaching of Bob".
6) "Teachings of Bob" must be a concise statement of wisdom and/or ethics
given to the High Priest by Bob.  These "teachings" may not contradict any
previous "teachings".
7) If the High Priest fails in his or her duties, he or she may immediately
be deposed by a call of "Heresy" by any two players.  If two players
lawfully call for "Heresy", a new election for High Priest begins according
to the rules for ReElection.
