*Hey, Jimmy Mac !

The player known as Jesus Christ (real name James McGregor) has the following properties, (1) he talks in maths (2) he buzzes like a fridge (3) he's like a detuned radio.

If, at any time, an entity named Karma Police exists it shall arrest Jesus Christ.

If, at any time, the player whose real name is James McGregor is not named Jesus Christ, replace all instances of that name in this rule with his current name.

When this rule is created, Jesus Christ gains 10 points, then this sentence is removed from this rule.*

Amend rule 315, if it exists, by replacing the existing text with the following ~~~ delimited text, and then remove everything above ### below from this rule.

~~~
Ownership

The rules may specify that certain entities may own entities.  The term "owner" as used in the rules refers to an entity which owns another entity.

Players may own entities.

A transferable entity must be assigned to another entity capable of owning that entity when it is created.  The transferable entity is then owned by the other entity.

A player may choose to transfer any transferable entity he owns to another entity at any time, provided the recipient is capable of owning that entity.  Once this transfer is announced, the chosen recipient becomes the owner of the entity.  The previous owner loses all rights of ownership over the entity when this occurs.

The rules specify the only ways in which transferable entities may be transferred.

The rules specify the only ways in which non-transferable entities may be owned.
~~~

### Donuts are the currency of Radio Free Nomic. Donuts are nameless, transferable entities, which may be owned only by players, the Donut Warehouse, or other entities which the rules explicitly state may own Donuts. 10000 Donuts are created, and this sentence is then amended to read in full "Donuts may not be created or destroyed, or split into smaller fractions.". If ever the rules specify a fractional number of Donuts are being used in any transaction the number shall be rounded. If no method of rounding is specified for that transaction, then the number shall be rounded to the nearest integer. If a Donut transfer is attempted which would leave any entity with a negative number of Donuts, that transfer shall fail.

The Donut Warehouse is a named, non-transferrable, unownable entity. The Donut Warehouse is the place where all Donuts which are not in circulation are stored. Whenever the rules state that a player gains or loses a number of Donuts, but do not say where the Donuts are coming from or going to, they are transferred between the player and the Donut Warehouse.

The number of Donuts in the Donut Warehouse is 10,000 minus the total number of Donuts in circulation.

The number of Donuts in circulation is the total number of Donuts owned by all entities other than the Donut Warehouse. 500 Donuts are transferred to each player, and this sentence is then removed.

The rules specify the only ways in which Donuts may be transferred.

Q CONTINUM PUNISHMENTS

An ethics committee is to be set up whenever one player considers another to be acting against the spirit of the game. The committee will be composed of all the players with the exception of the defendant and his/her accuser. The ethics committee will decide between themselves if said player has broken the spirit of the game.

This is to be achieved by means of a simple majority of 1 (should the players be deadlocked then an EA can be used).The vote of the EA in this matter is to be totally random - regardless of any other legislation.

Should they find the defendant guilty an unlimited fine can be imposed by the committee. The fine is to take the form of a points deduction from the transgressors score.

Should the defendant be found innocent, then the player accused recieves damages which will take the form of 25 points deducted from the accuser's score and added to the defendants.

Should at any time a player considers the speaker to have abused his position that player may call a special vote, only open to the players. This vote suspends the voting period on all other proposals until all players have cast their vote for or against the proposal. Should a Speaker be found guilty of this abuse he is stripped of his position and all points gained during his tenure as speaker are removed.

Following an impeachment the player in question can no longer hold any future position in the game except that as a citizen. A new speaker is to be selected from among the remaining players. The game shall be considered over should all the players be impeached in this way.

"OH MY GOD A METEORS ABOUT TO HIT SPRINGFIELD!"

This rule allows for a special vote to be called on a specific proposal.

A special vote has the following properties;

1. It suspends all current voting, or transactions (ie transfers of donuts) by or between players (APTCR) until after its voting period closes.

2. Only players are permitted to vote on these proposals. Regardless of any rule pertaining to EA's, or non-player entities, this type of vote is only open to players.

3. Any player may call a special vote by communicating with the speaker, as they would for any other proposal (APTCR). There is no cost to this if it falls into at least 1 of the following categories;

1. The proposal to be voted on has risen directly from the outcome of any game institution.
2. Any proposal, which specifically states that any change to it requires a special vote (or alteration to such a proposal).
3. Any proposal altering the current parameters that define when the game is considered over (whether by victory, or by default).
4. Any proposal which directly affects a game institution.

4. A player may call for a special vote outwith these areas mentioned above, but doing so requires the payment of 50 donuts which is transferred to the damages fund.

If, in the judgement of the Speaker, there is a Bug in one of the rules, he may distribute a Bug-Hunt. This must be sent to all players, and must consist of a number of an amendment to the rules that will fix a Bug. The Speaker should give each Bug-Hunt a unique integral number to identify it.

If a player disagrees with the Bug-Hunt, he may object to it by sending a message to that effect to all players.

If, after three days, no player has objected to the Bug-Hunt, then the amendment in the Bug-Hunt will be applied.

Examples of Bugs are:
(1) Extraneous or missing punctuation.
(2) Misspelled words.
(3) A rule with no name, where the intended first line of the rule is being used as the name.
(4) The use of an incorrect word, e.g. using "tradeable" where "transferable" is intended.

There exists a non-transferable entity named The Voting Whore. The Voting Whore is a non-player Voter.

A player may, before voting on a proposal is over, attempt to bribe The Voting Whore by notifying the Speaker of:
(1) The proposal the bribe is for.
(2) The amount of the bribe. This must be an integral number of Donuts greater than 4 and less than or equal to the number of Donuts owned by that player.
(3) How the player wishes The Voting Whore to vote.

If, at the time The Voting Whore votes, a player does not have enough Donuts to pay his bribe, his bribe will be considered invalid, and be ignored for the purposes of determining how The Voting Whore votes.

When all players have voted on the proposal, or instantaneously before the prescribed voting period on that proposal elapses, The Voting Whore will vote in accordance with the highest bribe received on that proposal. If more than one bribe has an equal value, the Speaker will randomly determine which bribe The Voting Whore will vote in accordance with. If no bribes were received on that proposal, The Voting Whore will abstain from voting.

When The Voting Whore votes, all players who attempted to bribe it lose an amount of Donuts equal to the amount of their bribes, or all their Donuts, whichever is less.

" Fresh Blood + Black Balling"

A player may join the game at any time.

To achieve this he must email the speaker, with the relevant information.

The speaker must then email all the current players, with the real name + address of the player. Should any player object to the involvement of the new player, he must give specific reasons ( within 3 days, to be sent to all other players) and a vote (players only) is then called.(This 4/7 day wait is considered a trial period)
For this 'proposal' to pass a simple majority is all that is required (However all players must vote within 3 days - or their silence will be interpreted as consent).

The new player is then eligible to the full rights of a citizen. With the following restriction;

1. He may not vote on any proposal submitted before his initial application, or upon any proposals where the voting period expired during the trial period.

If during the next thirty days it is deemed that the player is 'unsuitable' by any player, then said player may call a vote. This vote again is only open to players, but requires at least a 2/3rds of the players to be in favour of the removal.

Should this vote (movement?) fail, then the player calling it must either pay the new player 'reperations' of 50 donuts, or if he is unwilling/ unable to do so the player has 50 points deducted from his score.

"Hit The Road Jack"

Any player may be suspended/ expelled from the game.

To achieve this any players currently holding full priveledges, may call a vote specifying his reasons for seeking the suspension, and as a second point the level of punishment sought.

All players must respond within 4 days of the call being distributed ( the current rules specifying the means and manner which are considered valid in the above), non- response is assumed to mean compliance with the call.

The response are for both parts of the rule, against both parts, or for the suspension, but against the punishment (in which case they should suggest a more fair one) . Should the third option occur then one valid player (ie neither the proposer, or one who is suspended) is given the right to decide the punishment level - taking into consideration the wishes of the players

The punishments possible are, suspension of all priveledges for a set period of time that is no less than a week, no more than three months. Total expulsion from the game (ie they can no longer participate at all).

Priveledges will be deemed as any of the rights of a player, and the suspension of any income gained during the period of the suspension .

Should the proposal fail then the person proposing it must pay damages to the subject of the proposal of fifty donuts, if he cannot/ will not then the player automatically loses 50 points.
