Proposal: Rule cleanup and lice
Enacted 6-0 by Angry Grasshopper. 48 hours have passed and more than HALF of votes cast are for. I’ve left the Spivak stuff undone as for now, I may change the pronouns later.
Don’t count on it.

Some minor problems in the ruleset which ought to be fixed
If the proposal “Captain can’t take both sides” failed, add the following text to the end of the first paragraph of rule entitled “Mutinyâ€:
No Swashbuckler may support both sides of a mutiny. If any Swashbuckler posts more than one comment indicating the support of a side, only the most recent comment applies.
In rule 2.13, change all occurrences of the phrase “Motley of their choice†in the Potential Reward column to “Motley of their choice which could be purchased at port.â€
Because law 1.1 requires us to use Spivak pronouns
Replace all occurrences of the word “their†in rules 2.9 through 2.11, 2.18, 2.19 and 2.22 and the first and third paragraphs of rule 2.15 with the word “eir.â€
In the rule entitled “The Shipâ€, change:
Any Swashbuckler may change their location
To:
Any Swashbuckler may change eir location
Change all occurrences of the word “they†in rules 2.3, 2.9 through 2.15 and the “Scurvy†entry in rule 2.8.1 to “e.â€
Add the following special motley to rule 2.8.1:
Lice: The other scourge of the sea, lice can be found lurking on islands and in the holds of ships. For each louse a Swashbuckler has, e must have the string “*itch*” or the string “*scratch*” once in every post e makes. GPS -1 per louse.
