ANNA members: Duncan Richer (founder).

Proposal 83 (Scott Sindorf)

Anyone living in New York City should be given an additional 25 points. The rational being it takes a lot just to get by in this soul-searching anarchistic fuck-everyone-else narcisstic town.
No: Jim Huggins.

Proposal 84 (Olivier Marcé)

A player can not win unless he is one of the three players having the most accepted proposals.

PIA members: Stefan, Damian Coffey, Jim Huggins.

Proposal 85 (JWB)

A player who votes abstain for a proposal shall be subject to no limitations on his voting for the following five proposals.

Proposal 85 expires Proposal 72.

Stefan has won!

Congratulations Stefan.

Sergei's vote finally swung the referendum against Proposal 54, causing Stefan to lose 1.5 points as an ammender of a rejected referendum. This enabled him to collect the six points for Proposal 72 which he would have otherwise forfeited due to Rule 25.

Final Fascist Rules

These are the final rules of Fascist game 5.

1. The Emperor's decision is final.

2. The Emperor may, at any time, modify or abolish any existing rule or enact new rules.

3. When several rules apply at the same time and have different consequences then the rule with the highest number is applied first. Other rules may then be applied so long as they do not conflict directly with a rule that has already been applied.

4. A new rule will only apply to proposals numbered higher than its own proposal unless it explicitly states otherwise.

5. No rule may refer to any specific player, either directly by name or indirectly in terms of any other thing which is certain to be unique to that player throughout the game.

6. Anyone may join the game at any time.

7. Any player may propose a new rule or a change to an existing rule or the abolition of an existing rule. A player may not submit a new proposal until his last undecided proposal (if any) has received at least three votes.

8. All proposals must be sent via the World-Wide Web to The Humble Scribe.

9. The Humble Scribe will publish via the World-Wide Web the current rules, proposals, votes and scores.

10. Each player may vote on each proposal which has not yet been accepted or rejected. Only the most recent vote from each player will be counted. A vote is either Yes, No or Abstain. The proposer may not vote on his own proposal.

11. A proposal from a player with less than ten points which receives three more Yes votes than No votes will be accepted. A proposal from a player with ten points or more which receives four Yes votes will be accepted.

12. A proposal which receives at least three No votes and more No votes than Yes votes will be rejected.

13. A player whose proposal is accepted will gain twice as many points as he did for his previous proposal if that proposal was accepted. If his previous proposal was not accepted or he has not made any other proposal, he will gain one point.

14. A game ends when one player has exactly 20 points.

15. The Emperor is Denis Howe.

16. The Humble Scribe is Denis Howe.

17. Each player must chose one name under which to play. Submissions which, in the opinion of The Humble Scribe, are from the same player, will be treated as such.

18. Any player may, at any time, submit a Point of Order to raise any issue relevant to the game.

19. Abolished.

Once Rule 11 has been applied to a proposal, Rule 12 will not be applied, and vice versa.

20. Abolished.

A proposer may, without penalty, withdraw his proposal if it has not yet been accepted or rejected.

21. A player whose proposal is accepted without any No votes receives two bonus points.

22. A player whose proposal modifies Rules 1 to 18 will receive one bonus pont.

23. A player may ask for his proposal to be judged by a referendum at the time he submits it. The proposer will gain or lose three times as many points in a referendum as he would otherwise. A proposal in a referendum will be accepted if there are at least four votes, and at least three times as many Yes votes as No votes. It will be rejected if there are at least three votes, and at least three times as many No votes as Yes votes.

24. A player voting No to a proposal with no Yes votes must, at the same time, say whether or not he wishes to blame its proposer. If a proposal is rejected with no Yes votes and all those who voted No wished to blame the proposer then he will lose one point. The Humble Scribe will not reveal which players intend to blame the proposer until voting is complete.

25. If, as a result of a single event, a player's score would exceed twenty points, he gets no points for that event.

26. A player whose score is ten or more, who has a proposal rejected, shall lose 1 point.

27. A proposal which is not being judged by a referendum and which has not been accepted or rejected by the time 13 subsequent proposals have been submitted will be accepted if it has received more Yes votes than No votes, otherwise it will be rejected.

28. If a rejected proposal is resubmitted it will be judged by a referendum.

29. If a proposal is accepted and The Humble Scribe considers that it will make his job easier, its proposer will gain one bonus point.

30. Any player may join or create a political party by naming it. There may be no more than four parties and each player may only belong to one party at a time. The first player to join a party may rename it any number of times. If party A is renamed to the same name as another party B then all members of A become ordinary members of B, the first member of B loses his right to rename it and the first member of A gains this right.

31. Players may not request actions which are conditional on future events.

32. A player may propose an amendment to an undecided proposal made by any player other than himself. The player proposing the amendment must send it to the original proposer as well as to the The Humble Scribe. If the original proposer agrees to the amendment, the player proposing the amendment receives half as many points as the original proposer. The original proposer's score is not affected.

33. When a member of a party has a proposal accepted, all other party members receive one half point unless they voted No, in which case they lose one point.

34. A player with more than ten points may not vote No to a proposal unless his last vote for an earlier proposal was Yes.

35. A player whose last four consecutive votes were No may not gain any points until he makes a proposal.

36. When the members of a party with more than one member all vote Yes for a particular proposal, then one extra Yes vote is counted for that proposal, and similarly if all members vote No.

37. Any proposal which has received no votes by the time three subsequent proposals have been decided will be withdrawn. The player who submitted it must submit a Point of Order to explain why it was really quite a good proposal after all.

38. If more than four consecutive proposals have been rejected, the proposer of the next proposal to be accepted shall gain one bonus point and each player voting for it shall gain one half bonus point.

39. If three consecutives proposals by the same player are rejected then any player who voted No to all three proposals shall lose one point.

40. A player must vote on all undecided referenda before submitting further proposals or votes on non-referenda.

41. If all members of more than one party with more than one member, vote Yes on a proposal, the proposal shall be accepted regardless of any other votes.
