Add a new subrule to the rule “Drunkenness”.  Call it “Drinking game” and give it the following text:

For the purpose of this rule, “Chug” means “have one’s AC increased by 1 if it is less than 5”.

Whenever a proposal by an Earthling is failed without being self-killed or vetoed, its author Chugs.

The dynasty seems to have some actual meat to it now.  I’m unidling myself at my own request.

Quorum is 8.

In Rule 2.4.4, replace “As a business action, a Production Corporation may produce one unit of Product, prefixed by any one-word adjective, unless that Corporation already owns a unit of Product prefixed by a different one-word adjective.” with:-

As a business action, a Production Corporation may produce one unit of Product, prefixed by any one-word adjective (other than “Cash”), unless that Corporation already owns a unit of Product prefixed by a different one-word adjective (excluding Cash Product).

Also add:-

As a business action, any Corporation may replace any item of Stock in their Stock with a unit of Cash Product.

I’m giving everyone a free Vote Credit. For any proposal, anyone can PM me and say that they are spending a Vote Credit on that proposal. I will vote however they want on that proposal. Only the first one per proposal counts.

I unidle mysteriously, despite having never seen the show this dynasty is themed after. Quorum remains 7.

Add the following paragraph to the end of rule 2.2 “Drunkenness”:

As a weekly action, an Earthling can reduce their AC by 2, as long as their AC is 2 or more.

Making a post of this so that Glopso is aware that I’ve reverted the second action, but as I see it, Planet Express’s action of “switch to research, make learning materials, switch to exploration, make study pass, switch back to delivery” in the wiki history was illegal, since the ruleset at the time said “As a weekly action, any Earthling may take a Business Action on behalf of a Corporation that they are a member of, if no member of that Corporation has taken a Business Action for that Corporation earlier in the current week.” - both of these actions were Business Actions, so the second one couldn’t have been taken legally. Have I missed something?

In Rule 2.4.2, replace “and one member” with “and one other member”, throughout.

Update: Everything seems to have gone swimmingly. You may now resume your regular gamely activities.

Hey, all. Hope everything’s going well.

For a very long time Dreamhost has been encouraging its users to migrate all their databases onto one physical server. I’ve always postponed moving BlogNomic’s stuff so as not to cause downtime. But this “encouragement” has progressed to the point where it’s somewhat difficult for me to create databases for other sites now. So at midnight Pacific Daylight Time (that’s 7:00 am UTC), Dreamhost is going to go ahead and perform the migration.

There will probably be some brief downtime while it takes place. My understanding is that the old DB will be disabled before it’s copied to the new server, so there shouldn’t be any rollback of submitted content. But just to be sure, if you post anything tonight after reading this message, do check in the morning to be sure your content is still here.

The whole thing should be completed with no further intervention from me. If anything funny happens, e-mail me and I’ll fix it as soon as possible. I will of course be making a complete backup of the database before the migration begins.

TL; DR: Brief downtime around 07:00 UTC. Database will be backed up. In case of emergency, call the police.

To the list of Education actions in rule 2.3 “Skills”, add:

• Retraining. The Student may remove one level of one Skill he has, and add one level of any other Skill.

If an earthling has level of two or more in all skills, excluding such skills as he may not legally attain (such as cooking for Robots or bending for Organisms) he may declare victory.

In rule 2.4.4 “Private Ownership and the Means of Production”, change

As a weekly action, any Earthling may take a Business Action on behalf of a Corporation that they are a member of, if no member of that Corporation has taken a Business Action for that Corporation earlier in the current week.

to

An Earthling who is a member of a Corporation may cause that Corporation to take a Business Action of their choice, but not if that Corporation took a Business Action in the previous 48 hours, or if that Corporation has already taken two Business Actions in the current week.

Enact a new rule, entitled “Scamming”, reading

As a business action, a Corporation may spend 7 units of Cash Product to purchase Earth. Earth is listed in a Corporation’s Stock. Only one Corporation may own Earth at a time; if another purchases it, the first loses it.

If an Inebriated Earthling is the only member of their Corporation, and that Corporation own Earth, that Earthling achieves victory.

Replace the first paragraph of rule 2.4.2 with

The Trade of a Corporation may be None, Delivery, Production, Research, Exploration, Science, or Medical, and defaults to “None”. Certain Trades have Skill requirements, as listed below:

and add

A Science Corporation must have one member with the Science Skill and one member with the Cooking Skill

.

Could someone unidle me, please?

To Rule 2.3, add:-

If an Earthling has had a proposal they authored pass in the previous 24 hours, if they are not Inebriated and if they do not possess the Science Skill, then they may award themselves a copy of the Science Skill.

Rodney and Spitemaster idle out after seven days of inactivity. Quorum drops to 6.

Professor Stephen Hawking is speaking at a historical reenactment symposium, and requires two units of Leisurewear Product (one jacket, one pair of trousers) and a Delivery Chit for his props.

Repeal Rules 2.3.1, 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, and replace the last paragraph of Rule 2.3 with:-

As a weekly action, an Earthling (known as the “Student”) may take one Education action. Available Education actions are:-

• Osmosis. The Student chooses a Skill. If the Student has a level of zero or one in that Skill, and if a member of their Corporation has a higher level in the same Skill, the Student gains a copy of that Skill. An Earthling not in a Corporation cannot learn by Osmosis.
• Upgrading. If the Student is a Robot and their Corporation possesses an Upgrade Disk, the Disk is consumed and the Student may gain a copy of any Skill.
• Study. If the Student is an Organism and their Corporation possesses an Study Pass, the Pass is consumed and the Student may gain a copy of any Skill.
• Lying. If any Skills exist which are possessed by no Earthlings, the Student may choose one of those Skills and gain a copy of it.

Enact a new dynastic rule, entitled “Jack of all Trades”

If an earthling has level of two or more in all skills, excluding such skills as he may not legally attain (such as cooking for Robots or bending for Organisms) he may declare victory

Aeromark and Flurie automatically idle out, after seven and eight days of inactivity. Quorum drops to seven.

Enact a new rule, “Customer Orders”:-

If no Active Orders exist, any Earthling may - as a daily action - announce an Order, in which a Customer issues a demand for a particular combination of Stock.

To announce an Order, the Earthling (known as the “Cashier”) must first roll an X-sided die in the GNDT, where X is the number of characters listed in the [[List of recurring characters in Futurama]] wiki page. (The Professor may add or remove characters to and from this list at any time.) The list item that matches the number rolled is the Customer.

Once a Customer has been established, the Cashier must roll three X-sided dice, where X is the number of distinct types of Stock (counting Products with different adjectives as being distinct, and excluding Cash Product) currently held by Corporations. Each roll result is then translated into a type of Stock, from that Stock’s position in an alphabetical list of Stock types (again, excluding Cash Product).

The Cashier must then post a Story post announcing the Customer, the Products they require (the “Shipment”), and an explanation of what they intend to do with it. Upon posting such a Story post, the Order becomes Active.

If a Corporation possesses the Shipment components of an Active Order, any member of that Corporation may remove those components from the Corporation’s Stock to complete the Order - the Order ceases to be Active, and the Corporation gains five Cash Product items for their Stock.

If an Order has been active for more than five days, it ceases to be Active.

Upon enactment of this rule, revert the List of recurring characters in Futurama wiki page to its first version, if it has been changed since the posting of this proposal.
