Declaration of Victory
Having successfully performed "An arbitrary stunt referencing Simon" with target skill level of 20, I invoke Rule 11 and declare victory.
In this case, my roll was 16 (out of 22), and Z = 4 (thirty yards to shore, zero points for the necklace, since it's contested, and one point for the glasses), making the total check equal 20. [DICEY + Z = 20]
The result of the DICEY roll plus the value Z determines the success of the roll (Z is a coolness factor that defaults to Zero, but can be modified by other rules.).
I'd like to thank everyone for an excellent meta-dynasty--this is my first experience at playing Nomic and it has proved most enjoyable.I will have a new ruleset drafted by Sunday 4/3/05 at the latest Hopefully I'll have some semblance of a theme by 4/3/05.
Approved 9-1.

Proposal: Items are on the beach
Rewrite rule 14 as follows:
Replace
with
Gremmies AngryGrasshopper, Rodney and ShadowClaw lose their Shark Tooth Necklaces. They may still return to the Beach to claim them.
Fixes the speedboat loophole.
Vetoed.
Failed by Kevan, 5th of April at 9:41.
Replace
Any Gremmie who is Standing may, instead of moving, either lose or gain one item of Equipment, of their choice.

Call for Judgment
The boating Gremmies have accumulated enough shark kills to earn the right to wear the Shark Tooth Necklace. However, the ruleset says it is claimed from the Beach. Since the Beach is a defined game location, I think the necklace must be picked up by going to that location, so picking it up in the SpeedBoat is illegal.
If this Call for Judgment passes the Gremmies AngryGrasshopper, Rodney and ShadowClaw lose their Shark Tooth Necklaces. They may still return to the Beach to claim them.

Death to Shark10!
I harpoon Shark10! Heh.
DEATH TO SHARK7
I harpoon Shark7!
Proposal: A Rush and a Push
[ Making Pushing an ability available to everyone, rather than something that can only be done to Gits, and by non-Gits. ]
Reword "The Pusher" to:-
Vetoed.
Failed by Kevan, 5th of April at 9:43.
Reword "The Pusher" to:-
Any Gremmie may Push any other Gremmie at any time, if they share a Yard value - the Pushed Gremmie may be moved one Yard in either direction.
If a Gremmie is pushed from the Speedboat, his or her stance is changed to Wiped Out.
Pushing a Gremmie who isn't an Obnoxious Git causes the Pusher to become an Obnoxious Git (any Admin may note this in the Ruleset within 48 hours of the push).

Failed by Kevan, 5th of April at 9:43.
Proposal: Causality Ward
[ As demonstrated rather unexcitingly, it's possible for a wave-catching Gremmie to perform other game actions before attempting a Stunt, which seems a bit counter-intuitive and broken. ]
Reword the effects of Surfing a Wave to:-
Vetoed.
Failed by Kevan, 5th of April at 9:41.
Reword the effects of Surfing a Wave to:-
those who have a Surfing Stance, are able to catch the wave - they are automatically moved to the lowest roll and may attempt a Stunt as their next GNDT action (within 24 hours). This Stunt has a Coolness Factor equal to one tenth (rounded up) of the distance that the wave moved them.

I harpoon Shark5. So much for the local shark ecology.

Proposal: Survivor: Blognomic V2.0
With eir vote, a Gremmie may name a Gremmie who they think is a Obnoxious Git. The sentence "X is an Obnoxious Git" is appended to the end of rule 15 where X is the name of the Gremmie who was named the most that way. If a Gremmie named multiple Gremmies or the same Gremmie multiple timea then only the last naming shall count.
If anyone wants to append this onto a normal proposal feel free to do so.
Vetoed.

Looks like Kurt's Veto power works just fine

Death to Shark2
I harpoon Shark2
Proposal: Add new Sharks at a random distance from the shoreline
Let k be the number of sharks indicated (currently in Rule 18) as the number of new Sharks created two days after a Shark is Harpooned.
In Rule 18, replace
with
If all the Sharks are parked at Yard 100 and someone has to take a turn to move them, then as the number of sharks increase I predict we'll see only a few of them at a time in play. This change would make things a little more lively. I am amenable to changing the mechanism for determining the value of X, but I'd like to see the Sharks introduced randomly, as opposed to set at some fixed distance.
Quorum Reached 9-0.
Enacted by Topher, 30th of March at 04:04.
In Rule 18, replace
If any Shark is struck by the harpoon its blood causes a feeding frenzy. 2 days after a shark is struck by a harpoon, k new Sharks appear at Yard 100.
with
If any Shark is struck by the harpoon its blood causes a feeding frenzy. 2 days after a shark is struck by a harpoon, k new Sharks appear at Yard DICE3X, where X is the maximum of the Yards of all Gremmies.

Proposal: Peril on the Sea
To Rule 21 (The Speedboat), add:-
Timed Out 6-3.
Enacted by Topher, 30th of March at 03:58.
If the Speedboat is ever in the path of a Wave more than 50 Yards in length, it is capsized - it moves to the lowest roll of the Wave, along with all the Boating Gremmies, who become Wiped Out.

Proposal: Geeding gets more frenzied
In rule 18, modify the sentence
to read
Timed Out 7-3.
Enacted by Topher, 30th of March at 03:50.
2 days after a shark is struck by a harpoon, 2 new Sharks appear at Yard 100.

Proposal - Sharktooth Necklace again
Create a new GNDT field - "Necklace" - as a listfield.
Add the following piece of equipment:
Timed Out 7-3.
Enacted by Topher, 30th of March at 03:44.
Add the following piece of equipment:
Let's try this other approach to the Necklace that was tried earlier.
Sharktooth Necklace (Necklace): There's no denying that a Sharktooth Necklace is cool - it adds 3 to coolness, in fact. But it has to be earned - specifically, a Gremmie must harpoon two or more Sharks before e can claim it from the Beach.
