1. Any two players whose locations on the Bored of Being Board are the same 
are Friendly.
Any player whose location is at least 4 units from all other players (under 
a Euclidean metric) is a Loner.


Just something so that we can refer to such categories later if that becomes 
interesting.


2. Any player may spend a unit of Currency from their BANK account at any 
time to move their location one orthogonal unit on the Board, informing the 
other players of this fact and their new location.



3. This one's the biggie. Half the point of proposing this is just to get 
real discussion going on the subject:

I propose changing the wording of Rule 4, Consensus of Opinion from:

A Consensus of Opinion on a particular issue exists when one entity named on 
the List of Voters makes a proposal describing the issue to all other 
entities named on the List of Voters, obtains unambiguous consent to that 
proposal from each such entity and then posts a public Notice of Consensus 
to the other members detailing the issue upon which Consensus of Opinion has 
been reached.

to:

A Consensus of Opinion on a particular issue exists when one entity named on 
the List of Voters makes a proposal describing the issue to all other 
entities named on the List of Voters, obtains unambiguous consent to that 
proposal from each such entity that will be affected differently to all 
other such entities and all but at most one other such entity, and then 
posts a public Notice of Consensus to the other members detailing the issue 
upon which Consensus of Opinion has been reached.


The effect of this would be to require that a proposal passes if it is voted 
for by all but one player, except if that player is discriminated against by 
it (by name of Ministry post or other suchlike.
