Herald's Report - January 31, 2009
HISTORICAL RULES CORNER
=====================================================================
Rule 1042/15 (Power=1)
Zombification Due to Silence
Each Player is always Noisy, Quiet, or Silent, but never more
than one of these. Whenever a Player posts to a Public Forum,
or a new Player registers, that Player is Noisy.
Any Player who has not caused another Player to become Quiet
within the last 24 hours can cause another Active Noisy Player
to become Quiet by stating that e is doing so, and clearly
identifying that Player, in a Public Forum. If a Player has
been Quiet continuously for two weeks, e becomes Silent. If a
Player has been Inactive continuously for two months, e becomes
Silent.
Any Player can make a Silent Player a Zombie by publicly
alleging that the Silent Player has abandoned the game. A
Player has abandoned the game if and only if e is Silent. As
soon as possible after a public allegation that a Player has
abandoned the game, the Registrar shall publicly confirm or deny
that the Player is a Zombie.
If a Speaker has abandoned the game, e commits the Class 15
Crime of Speaker Abandonment, to be detected and reported by any
Player. E ceases to be Speaker, and the Speaker-Elect becomes
Speaker. The previous Speaker then becomes a Zombie.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 1884/4 (Power=1)
Zombie Masters
Zombies are Property. The owner of a Zombie is called eir
Master. Whenever a Player becomes a Zombie, eir Master is the
Bank.
Whenever the Master of a Zombie is a Player, e has Power of
Attorney for that Zombie, unless the Rules withdraw it from
em.
The Registrar is the Recordkeepor of each Zombie.
