> Add a rule titled "Rule Ownership" with the text: > "All rules, unless explicitly stated, are owned by The President."
Perhaps something like "Rules are fixed assets whose recordkeepor is ????. Every rule is, by default, owned by the President." > Alter the text of rule 1030 to add this paragraph: > > "- Rules in conflict which are owned by The President takes precedence over > rules in conflict which are not owned by The President." Where is that paragraph added? The best place to put it may be right before the second paragraph. > Add a rule with power 3, titled "A Nation Unto Ourselves" with the text: > "Players are bound to rules owned by the President, and to rules owned by > emself. All rules created before this rule are owned by The President. Maybe change "rules owned by emself" to "rules that they own themselves". The second sentence seems to be redundant. > "1. Any player may create a rule and immediately take ownership of it with > N-support, where N is that rule's power. This would effectively allow anyone to create power-3 rules with Agoran Consent and 3 support, by saying, "I intend, with Agoran Consent, to cause the President to indent, with 3 support, to create the following rule . . ." Also, the hyphen in "N-support" is unnecessary. > "4. Rules created using this rule shall have an identifier using the > following ID format: [Prefix][ID Number]. > "5. The prefix is the name of the player creating the rule. > "6. The ID number is assigned by the player who created the rule. ID numbers > SHOULD be chosen such that the combination of prefix and ID number is > unique. The Rulekeepor MAY assign a new ID number to rules not created by > The President. Since rules are instruments, nobody can give them ID numbers (except the Rulekeepor, who, by Rule 2141, can do this despite lacking the Power to do so). To make civil rules' ID numbers act any differently from state rules' ID numbers, you'd have to amend Rule 2141 (or, I guess, just ask the Rulekeepor politely). Finally, note that Rule 2141 still makes rules omnipotent even if they're owned by civilians, not to mention all that stuff that the rules say is "defined by the rules". You might want to change that, or else call the new things something other than Rules. Promisoids, maybe? —Tavros Nitram
