[Nomic] Summary of Proposals 2

[Mike Cripps]

> 3. Create a rule called the Rule of Structured Names, with the following 
> text:
> Each rule shall have a name that is a string of the form 'Rule X, Y'. In
> this string, X stands for an integer which is assigned to the rule when it
> is added to the ruleset and is one greater than the largest integer
> currently assigned to any rule. Y shall stand for any string of
> alphanumeric characters, spaces and punctuation which is distinct up to
> changes to case and spacing from the Y of any other rule in the rules.
> 
> X is assigned only when a rule is added to the rules; Y must be specified
> along with the text of the rule when it is first proposed. All rules, when
> referring to other rules, must use the full name of the rule in 
> question, excepting the following case: Where a rule is still a 
> proposal, it may be referred to only by its alphanumeric designator Y. 
> If that rule is then adopted, the gamestate shall be modified so that 
> all references to that rule reference the full name instead.
> When this rule is brought into effect, the names of all existing rules 
> shall be modified to bring them into line with this format.

> Any entities which are elegible to be members of the List of Voters
> may join the game providing that the following conditions are satisfied:
> 1) They have subscribed to the mailing list (if there is one).
> 2) They are not already in the List of Voters.
> 3) They have made a post to the mailing list declaring that:
> a) All of 1-3 are satisfied.
> b) They are not a lizardman from Antares IV.
> c) They wish to join the game.
> Once these events have happened then they are added to the List of
> Voters, and are deemed to have joined the game.  Their consent is not
> needed on any issues that require consent that are under consideration
> at the time of their joining the game.
> 
> A Planet? Where Lizards evolved from Men?
> All entities eligible to be members of the List Of Voters (Which shall 
> be all living extranomic entities of the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens) 
> shall be considered to be lizardmen from Antares IV until a member of 
> the List Of Voters states "I do not believe <name of entity> is a 
> lizardman from
> Antares IV", where "<name of entity>" is to be replaced with the name of 
> the entity in question. No existing member of the List Of Voters is a 
> lizardman from Antares IV.
