 Create a new Power-1 Rule, titled Cards:
[...]
 When a Green Card is issued, the Referee gains two points, and the target 
 player is
 ENCOURAGED to travel to the United States.

Failing that, to endure watching the 90's romantic comedy of the same
name.

This seems a bit open to abuse and seems cheap (compare Yellow Cards 
awarded on Monday versus Sunday).  I'm wondering about a buy-off plan:
1.  Yellow card is half points indefinitely, or at least 14 days.
2.  You can get rid of a Yellow card by destroying X points;
3.  If you get a Yellow card while you have another one, it's a Red card.

Also, scorekeepor is similar to referee concept... is it too much
work for an office to combine the two (I'd go with the referee name)?
Of course, without a scorekeepor currently, it's hard to know where
we are on this

This means the effectiveness of this punishment depends heavily on when
this is awarded relative to proposal resolution in a given week; not sure
if that's by design or a flaw.


 Amend Rule 2421 (Points Awards) by replacing beginning of each Agoran
 week with end of each Agoran week [so it can be affected by Yellow
 Cards].


By my time model for Agora, these are equivalent. I'd be sad if you broke
it :(
