> A game action is liberal iff the rules explicitly indicate that it is. > A game action that is not liberal is parsimonious. Define "game action". Does this include contract-defined actions? If I vote FORx4 on each of two proposals, is that one, two, or four actions?

Any action that is required by any rule other than 1742, or that is required by the judgement of a judicial question on equation, or that is permitted as a direct result of holding an office. > Whenever a person registers, e gains 5 persimmons, less the number > that e already possesses. Could be argued to remove persimmons if p>5, but maybe you wanted that. Reword to clarify either way. I would say "persimmons are created [or destroyed] in eir possesion such that e comes to have 5 persimmons [or the number of persimmons that e had immediately before registering, whichever is less]." "Whenever a first-class person registers." 5 is too small. 10 would be better. I transfer all my persimmons to the AFO. I register. The AFO transfers the persimmons I just gave it back to me. (Maybe it's best to restrict ownership of persimmons to players.) > <Insert other ways to gain and lose persimmons>> Lose (one? five? all?) on deregistration (or only exile/fage?). Lose (one? half?) upon being thrown in the chokey; the ninny gets eir persimmons back at the end of the tariff. ~ *** ~ Here's an alternate form, which should prevent scams while also allowing more activity: Parsimonious actions *cost* 1 persimmon each. If no active first-class player has 5 or more persimmons, any player CAN by announcement as a liberal action create one persimmon in the possession of each active first-class player. At the beginning of each day, each active first-class player gains sufficient persimmons to put em at 5. Registration is liberal. Ownership of persimmons is unrestricted. Effectively, we're taking turns, but you can take up to 5 turns at once. Note: I said 5 here, but I still think 10 would be better. Pavitra
