Create a new rule, entitled "The Wrath of Eris."
Eris, goddess of strife and discord, finds the neat complexity of our ruleset quite unpalatable, and has decided to take matters into her own hands. Whenever an admin enacts a proposal, he/she should make a comment in the GNDT, "Wrath of Eris: DICE." If the result is a 1, he/she should make a second comment in the GNDT, "Uh-oh: DICE," and Eris performs the corresponding action. If an admin enacts a proposal without following any part of this paragraph, any Mariner may deduct 25 Morale from that admin. Only one such deduction may occur per transgression.
1: Eris halves a randomly selected even number in the ruleset (outside the core ruleset, and not including rule numberings or references to them).
2: Eris doubles a randomly selected odd number in the ruleset (outside the core ruleset, and not including rule numberings or references to them).
3: Eris adds a new rule to the ruleset, entitled "Snorkels" and properly numbered, with the text "There exist objects called Snorkels. A Snorkel may be purchased by any Mariner at any time for 5 Morale." After Eris does this, the enacting Admin may choose to replace, within this rule (The Wrath of Eris) all occurences of the word "Snorkel" with any other word that appears nowhere else in the Ruleset or current gamestate.
4: Eris adds the sentence, "All pigeons are snooty." at the end of a randomly selected rule (including those in the core ruleset). After Eris does this, the enacting Admin may choose to replace, within this rule (The Wrath of Eris), all occurences of either "pigeon" or "snooty" with any other word that appears nowhere else in the Ruleset or current gamestate.
5: Eris vetoes the oldest pending proposal in the proposal queue. The admin marks this by commenting on the proposal with the sentence "Eris made me do it :VETO:" and the proposal automatically and immediately fails.
6: Eris decides to be extra-nasty today. Roll twice more on this table. If three sixes are rolled for a single proposal, however, Eris deletes this rule from the ruleset (after performing her other actions), deciding that it's hopeless here.
If, at any point, the most recent action by Eris causes a contradiction to occur in the ruleset, then the Admin must undo that action, and may subsequently delete this rule (the Wrath of Eris) from the ruleset.
The admin should use a random number generator, found all over the web, to determine Eris's actions. For example, if a 1 was rolled on this table, the admin would count up the number of even numbers in the ruleset (outside the core ruleset), generate a random number between 1 and this, and then count down to it. (i.e. if there are 40 even numbers, generate a random number from 1 to 40, say 15, and then halve the 15th even number).
Within this rule, the "current gamestate" is defined as the GNDT, list of players, and any pending Proposals.
