Co-authors: Re-enact Rule 2246 (name at repeal: Submitting a CFJ to the Justiciar), at Power-2, and the following text: When a person initiates a Call for Judgement, e CAN, optionally, submit it to the Referee by announcement. All persons are ENCOURAGED to submit a case to the Referee only when there is a good reason not to let it be processed by the Arbitor as usual. When a CFJ is submitted to the Referee, the Referee receives all obligations and powers for the specific case that the Arbitor would otherwise receive due to being Arbitor. This takes precedence over Rules that would otherwise assign duties and powers regarding a judicial case to the Arbitor. Retitle Rule 2246 to "Submitting a CFJ to the Referee". [ History of R2246: Created by Proposal 6181 (comex), 7 April 2009 Amended(1) by Proposal 6333 (coppro), 29 May 2009 Amended(2) by Proposal 6496 (coppro), 26 September 2009 Amended(3) by Proposal 6662 (Murphy; disi.), 10 March 2010 Amended(4) by Proposal 6752 (Murphy), 2 August 2010 Amended(5) by Proposal 6891 (coppro), 20 November 2010 Repealed by Proposal 6961 '52-pickup v2' (G.), 3 March 2011 ] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8153 Title: Favour Loophole Closure Adoption index: 1.0 Author: D Margaux Co-authors: Amend Rule 2542 to replace: “The following officers CAN by announcement award Favours in the listed Parties, but SHALL NOT do so except as required by rule.” With: “The following officers CAN by announcement award Favours in the listed Parties only to the extent required by rule.” ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8154 Title: [Seductive yodeling noises] Adoption index: 1.0 Author: CuddleBeam Co-authors: Change "Any player whose Fame is either 10 or -10 CAN win the game With 2 Days Notice." to "Any player whose Fame is either 10 or -10 CAN Become One With The Cosmos With 2 Days Notice When a player Becomes One With The Cosmos, if their Fame is either 10 or -10, their Fame is set to 0 and they win the game." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8155 Title: Spaaace Loophole #493 Adoption index: 1.0 Author: twg Co-authors: Telnaior Amend Rule 2591, "Spaceships", by changing the text "Armour (an integer switch limited to values from 0 to 10 inclusive)" to "Armour (an integer switch limited to values less than or equal to 10)" and by changing the text 'A Spaceship with an Armour of 0 is "Defeated"' to 'A Spaceship with an Armour of 0 or less is "Defeated"'. [There are other ways to patch this, but I feel this is more elegant. If anybody else prefers a different solution, feel free to propose it.] ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8156 Title: version ∞ Adoption index: 3.0 Author: Trigon Co-authors: Amend Rule 2350 (Power=3) 'Proposals' by adding an item to the bulleted list: * A version, which SHOULD only be used when a proposal has been retracted and another proposal has been created with a similar purpose. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8157 Title: No one likes a (space) bully Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Trigon Co-authors: Amend the paragraph beginning "A Space Battle CANNOT be initiated" in Rule 2593 (Power=1) 'Space Battles' by removing the final period and adding the following: "or if the prior Space Battle the spaceship initiating the Space Battle has been in was against the spaceship it is attacking." ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8158 Title: The Duumvirate v.1.2 Adoption index: 1.0 Author: D Margaux Co-authors: G. Enact a power 3 rule entitled "The Duumvirate" with the following text: { The Duumvirate is an organization whose members are D. Margaux and G. Each member of the Duumvirate is a "Dictator." Either Dictator CAN by announcement cause this Rule to repeal itself. No person can act on behalf of a Dictator (other than the Dictator acting as emself). A Decree is a document clearly labeled as such. Either Dictator CAN proclaim a Decree with support from the other Dictator. When a Decree is proclaimed, then: (1) its power is set to 3; (2) it takes effect by applying to the gamestate the changes specified in the text of the Decree, to the greatest extent permitted by the rules; and then, (3) its power is set to 0. } ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ID: 8159 Title: Temporary Deputies Adoption index: 3.0 Author: G.
