A player CAN increase or decrease the caste, or the voting
limit on an individual ordinary proposal, of a specified

Blots are a fixed asset, whose recordkeepor is the Janitor. The

threshold of 1.7, and a person CANNOT destroy Blots except as
permitted by rules explicitly stating methods by which Blots in
particular CAN be destroyed.
Ownership of Blots is restricted to first-class persons. If, in
the absence of this restriction, a number (N) of Blots would be
created in the ownership of a non-first-class person, then for
each member of that person's basis, N Blots are created in that
member's possession.
The Janitor is an office, and the recordkeepor of Blots.
Create a rule titled "Laundromats" with Power 2 and this text:

at least 6 Blots, or where every member of eir basis owns 6
Blots, CANNOT register, rules to the contrary notwithstanding.
A person who has one or more Blots but is not a player is a
Fugitive. The Herald's report shall include a list of all
Fugitives and the number of Blots they possess. At the
beginning of each month, half of each Fugitive's Blots (rounded
down) are destroyed.
Amend Rules 2156 (Voting on Ordinary Decisions) and 2230 (Notices of
Violation by replacing each instance of "Rests" with "Blots".

the sentence of SILENCE with this text:
* BLOTTING. A number of Blots are created in the possession of
the Ninny. For defined Crimes, this number equals the defined
Class of the Crime; otherwise, this number equals the power of
the breached Rule. If the Ninny showed bad faith by contesting
an obviously-correct notice or by obstructing the course of
justice, the judge CAN double the amount of the penalty with 2
Support.
Upon the adoption of this proposal, each player gains a number of Blots
