I submit the following proposal: Title: *sigh*
Adoption index: 1.0 Author: Janet Coauthors: { Amend the Rule entitled "The Veblen" to read, in whole: { The Veblen is a unique indestructible fixed asset tracked by the Abusrdor, with ownership entirely restricted to players and Agora. If the Veblen would otherwise be in abeyance, or if it is owned by the Lost and Found Department, it is immediately transferred to Agora. The Veblen cost is a secured singleton positive integer switch tracked by the Absurdor and with default value one. A player who does not own the Veblen CAN pay a fee of X spendies to purchase the Veblen, where X is an integer not less than the current Veblen cost. When e does so, the Veblen is transferred to em, then the Veblen cost is set to X+1. The owner of the Veblen SHOULD conspicuously show off eir ownership of it from time to time. } The Veblen is hereby transferred to the entity that owned the Veblen immediately before this proposal began taking effect (if e does not already own it). The Veblen cost is hereby flipped to what the Veblen Cost was immediately before this proposal began taking effect (if it does not already have that value). [Normalize tracking language. Normalize transfer language. Fix "ownership of the Veblen", if such a thing exists. Prohibit self-purchases (can be worked around by transferring it to Agora then immediately re-purchasing it).] } -- Janet Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason
