Create a new rule “Stimulus Package”:

In today’s economy, most Players can’t afford Proposal Slots. To encourage legislative activity in Blognomic, each Player may be elegible to receive one or more Stimulus Packages (abbreviated SP). The number of Stimulus Packages that a Player has is tracked in the GNDT under a column named “SP”.

Whenever a Player becomes elegible to receive a SP, that player may increase by one their SP count in the GNDT once, but only within the first 24 hours of becoming elegible. Whenever a rule states that an action is taken “ON BEHALF OF” another player (known as the Affected Player), the action can only be taken if the Affected player has at least 1 SP. If the action takes place, the player taking the action (known as the Executing Player) must reduce the Affected Player’s SP by 1 as part of that action.

All active players are eligible to receive 3 Stimulus Packages.

If at least half the effective vote comments contain the words “bring yer dead” then, create a new rule “Dead Body Collection Service”:

If there exists a Proposal P for which all of the following are true:

a) P is not the oldest proposal
b) P’s author has voted against it
c) P doesn’t have a Quorum of AGAINST votes

Then, any Admin may fail Proposal P ON BEHALF OF the author of that proposal.

bring yer dead

This one *is* broken if “Theme” passes, but it’s a quick fix.

bring yer dead, but the author should be able to do it himself.

Bring yer dead.

Comex: Not all authors are admins, so it makes sense to allow admins to close proposals for them.

Although a little strange how it’s not clear whether this is a service or a fine.

Bring yer dead. I agree with Kevan’s comment; charging for selfkills is one thing, but perhaps authors should be able to S/K a broken proposal and let it run out without paying for the service. (Perhaps we could distinguish selfkill from selfveto, both of which kill the proposal but one of which can be cleaned with SP?)
