To correct what seems to be a typo in rule 13 (I don't remember how it got there for sure), we should destroy rules 13 and 13.1 and create a new rule 13 in PAST JUDGEMENTS with the text:
Whenever a decision on a Call For Judgement is not appealed within two weeks, and the Call For Judgment is judged true, the text of the Call For Judgement shall be added to the ruleset in the group headed PAST JUDGEMENTS. Its number must be higher than that of any rule already in the ruleset. Also, the judge of the CFJ may choose to amend the comment for the group.

The text "hot potatoes, " will be inserted before the word "and" in rule 9.1 and the resulting string will be known as NEWTEXT for the purposes of this proposal, so that we don't have to worry about other additions.
Rule 9.1 will be repealed, and a new rule 9.1 whose text is NEWTEXT will be created.

A group will be created with the heading POTATOES.
A rule 15.0 will be created in that group with the text "Each Hot Potato must have its own unique name, and it must also have a description of when its effect occurs and what that effect is."
The comment for POTATOES will be as follows:
"The intent of these rules is that hot potatoes will be created which in some way harm their posessors, so that players will frantically give them to one another as the appointed time draws near."

Create a new rule 9.7 under the heading THINGS with the text:
Any Thing which is not a player, Rule, or The Bank, must be possessed by a player or The Bank.

Create a new rule 15.0 under the heading THINGS with the text:
When the first proposal, after the creation of this rule, becomes expired, then at that time, The Bank will be created, 1,000,000,000 coins will be created in the possession of The Bank, and this rule will then be destroyed.

The comment for the section THINGS will have the following text added to the end of it:
Coins are intended to be a currency, and The Bank is a Thing which posesses all Coins not in the posession of a player.

Destroy rule 14.2

When a player deregisters, one of eir Coins is destroyed, and all eir things are distributed randomly between all other players.

Destroy rule 1.3
Create a new rule 1.3 under the heading FIRST SACRED LAW with the text:

Create a new rule 2.1 under the heading SECOND SACRED LAW with the text:
Any player who submits a proposal that would destroy at least three Things recieves a Coin if that proposal passes.

Players are hereby reminded that the above two changes alter the Three Sacred Laws. Thus, NO votes are vetoes and ABSTAIN votes are like normal NO votes. It is therefore important to vote, and since these are minor changes players are asked to ABSTAIN rather than vetoing the proposal unless they see some gaping flaw that was missed in earlier discussion. Of course, this paragraph has no force, but it is here as a reminder.
Votes AGAINST will automatically fail this proposal.

No, perhaps that's not in the spirit of 0.2. Let's just give them consecutive integers starting with 20.

All expired proposals are destroyed.

Rule 6.8 is created in the group "CHANGING THE GAMESTATE", reading "Immediately after a proposal expires, it is destroyed; this destruction is not considered to be a direct effect of the proposal."

A pending proposal is a proposal which obeys the Three Sacred Laws, has been submitted to the official mailing list, and has not expired, with the exception that a proposal which would destroy any Coins not belonging to its proposer does not become pending until it has the support of the player whose Coins would be destroyed.

Create a rule in the section PROPOSALS whose number fits the criteria listed below, with the text:
If a proposal expires that would result in the destruction of any Coins belonging to a player who has not voted FOR it, the proposal fails automatically.

The criteria are:
The number must be less than A.
The number must be higher than that of any rule in the group whose header is foo.
Of the numbers that fit the first two criteria, there must be no eligible numbers that require more digits to write in base ten than the number that is chosen.
Of the numbers that fit the first three criteria, the lowest one will be used.

For the rule created above, A is six and foo is PROPOSALS

Destroy one Coin belonging to Craig, munificent creator of this proposal.

No Coin may be destroyed by a proposal that does not have an affirmative vote from the owner of the Coin.
