(Although the actual player's name should be in there somewhere. Or maybe a name change can be a shop item?)

first thing i'd buy

also this is a++ would buy again usage of the proposed shop

[Drench]

CSL, you're retarded for thinking C8 is impossible. Christ, it's like you want shit to be unwieldy and impossible to comprehend. Your options are as follows:

a) C8 doesn't pass, forcing anyone who wants to propose legislation that goes slightly above braindead on the complexity scale to either consolidate all the related passages in the one Proposition (see: Packbat's original Judges x-post) or create multiple Propositions concerning different statues, with their numbering and passage being in doubt at all times, leading to the inevitable scenario where one rule of the many doesn't pass, causing the rest to be rendered obsolete, meaning the ruleset gets bloated with Shit It Doesn't Need. Not to mention loopholes.

b) C8 passes, avoiding all of that and providing new avenues of lawmaking. I mean, come on: you will never see a single bill in any governmental legislature contain just the one statute: C8 is pretty much saying 'okay more than one statute is permitted'.

And besides, someone is more than welcome to excise any shitty rules from any package someone posts and post it as a new package. The packages differ, and thus there won't be duplicates. There are literally NO problems with C8 as far as your reasoning is concerned, and really, it's the next logical step in lawmaking.

(nomic is srs bsns yo)

Vote NAY on C8 Impossibility

[Drench]

Proposition C17:

For ease of use, Propositions may be accompanied by a name so as to more easily identify individual Propositions. No two Propositions may share a name. The changing of a name requires the same process as the changing of the Proposition or Rule itself. Rules do not retain names unless otherwise stated.

[Drench]

Vote YAY on Proposition C17

***we totally do, 'accessible' should really mean OP/separate thread linked in the OP but whatever you interpret it as it needs to still be easy to get to

[Drench]

If 80% of the player list concur, the Rule is reinstated. Cost determined by C25 of this Package. If C25 of this Package does not pass, the cost of the Eraser is THIRTY (30) coins.

Proposition C24:

The following positions are hereby offered in the shop, with ONE (1) of each being available. Once a position is acquired, it is removed from the Shop.

Usher of the Black Rod - The Usher of the Black Rod has the power of Prohibition. They may prohibit the use of any item or power for a named length of time between ZERO (0) and SEVENTY TWO (72) hours from their announcement. The prohibition must be performed in thread and in bold. The Usher of the Black Rod may only invoke Prohibition ONCE (1). Cost determined by C25 of this Package. If C25 of this Package does not pass, the cost of the Position of the Usher of the Black Rod is TWENTY FIVE (25) coins.
Chief Justice - The Chief Justice has the power of Judging. They may assume the position of a Judge for a current dispute at any time, at which point their duty is followed as per the rules for Judging.

If C25 of this Package does not pass, the cost of the Position of the Chief Justice is THIRTY FIVE (35) coins.

Proposition C25:

Whenever someone wishes to purchase from the Shop, they must declare their intent to Purchase. Once they have done so, a silent auction begins, during which any interested parties may submit, in secret, the highest bid they are willing to pay. This must be PM'd to the Moderator. Once 24 hours have passed, the price is set as n+1, n being the second highest bid, and the highest bidder's coin amount shall have this deducted. In the case of a tie, unless otherwise stated, nobody wins the item. If a Shop good is auctioned twice and is still not sold, it is removed.

Proposition C26:

All possessions of each player must be listed in the OP at all times.

Proposition C27:

There will be a two week delay between the passing of this Package and its implementation, to allow for any Amendments via Proposition. This delay can be ended by majority vote via Proposition.

(expired on 2011-11-11 15:42:00)

Proposition C28:

One week following the passing of this Proposition, a three-member Parliament must be elected. All players must submit to the Mod a list of all current players, with the most preferred candidate at the top and the least preferred at the bottom. Once all votes are received or a week passes, the votes are counted using the Meek method of the Single Transferable Vote with a Droop quota. The first three candidates to achieve a Quota are elected to the Parliament, where each will serve one week terms of President, rotating from first through to third. The role of the Parliament may be decided by Proposition. At no point may the Parliament be a chokepoint for any deliberative process.[/b]

A player may not win via their heart count.
