Oh hey, that was my other power replacement:
The Rules are a family.
Each Rule shall have one parent and at most two children.
Rule 101 is the Matriarch. The difficulty of amending a Rule
is inversely proportional to its distance from the Matriarch.
The first two generations from the Matriarch, including
the Matriarch, are the Elder Rules. All non-Elder Rules
defer to the Elder Rules. [Total possible elder Rules: 7]
The second generation of the Rules from the Matriarch are
the Tribe Elders [4 Tribes]. The Ruleset shall list each
non-Elder Rule's Tribe, and its generational distance from
the Matriarch.
A Rule always defers to Rules of an older generation within
its Tribe. There is no default deference implied between
Tribes. The Rules of a Tribe can claim certain matters as
to be a part of its Tribal Taboos, if so, all other Tribes
defer to that Tribe for that matter, regardless of generation.
There can be no more than 8 generations in the family
[255 Rules maximum].
[Rules for moving rules within the generations while
maintaining structure of the family tree].
Proposed Family Tree of the Elders
R101 - Elder Precedence - Judicial Tribe
- Legislative Tribe
- Tribe Precedence - Officers Tribe
- Speaker/gaming Tribe
