Amend rule 2126 by replacing the text VCs may be gained as follows: a) When an interested proposal is adopted, its proposer gains a number of Red VCs equal to the integer portion of the proposal's adoption index, minus the number of Red VCs that e has gained in this way earlier in the same week (down to a minimum of zero), and each coauthor named in the proposal gains one Red VC unless e gained a VC in this way earlier in the same week. b) At the end of each month, for each office with a report, the player (if any) who held that office for the majority of that month gains two Green VCs (if the office has a weekly report) or one Green VC (if it has only a monthly report), unless another person deputised for that office while that player held that office during that month. c) A player who assigns a judgement to a judicial question within the time limit when first obliged to gains one Blue VC. VCs may be lost as follows: a) When a proposal's voting index is less than half its adoption index, its proposer loses one Red VC. b) At the end of each month, for each office, for each player who has held that office during that month, if another person deputised for that office while that player held that office during that month then that player loses one Green VC. c) A player who is recused from a judicial case because a judicial question has remained applicable, open, and unjudged loses one Blue VC. A player who is the prior judge in an appeal case where a judgement other than AFFIRM is assigned to the question on disposition loses one Blue VC. with VCs are gained and lost as follows: (+R) When an interested proposal is adopted, its proposer gains a number of Red VCs equal to the integer portion of the proposal's adoption index, minus the number of Red VCs that e has gained in this way earlier in the same week (down to a minimum of zero), and each coauthor named in the proposal gains one Red VC unless e gained a VC in this way earlier in the same week. (-R) When a proposal's voting index is less than half its adoption index, its proposer loses one Red VC. (+G) At the end of each month, for each office with a report, the player (if any) who held that office for the majority of that month gains two Green VCs (if the office has a weekly report) or one Green VC (if it has only a monthly report), unless another person deputised for that office while that player held that office during that month.

[None of the text that actually awards or removes VCs is changed. The differences are: (a) all in one list, putting rewards and corresponding penalties next to each other; (b) meaningful item labels, easier to maintain.] [With the various protos that would edit the rule text that is relevant here, this proto will need a bit of reformulation before it is actually proposed.] }}} -zefram
