Proposal (Accepted)

Replace the text "When a sapient entity becomes a player, they shall be invited to become authors of the blog; if they decline this invitation, they are no longer a player." in Rule 6 with "When a sapient entity becomes a player, they shall be invited to become an author of the blog and a collaborator of the Faucet Nomic Google Site; if they decline either of these invitations, they are no longer a player."

Accepted 1 vote to 0, March 17, 2009. +2 score and +1 morality to Kenner.

Proposal #3 by Kenner (Accepted)

Remove the text "When a proposal is submitted, the player 'Kenner' shall make a blog post containing the text of the proposal." from Rule 1.

Change the text "sending an e-mail to kennercat@gmail.com" in Rule 1 to "making a post to the blog".

Add the text "When a sapient entity becomes a player, they shall be invited to become authors of the blog; if they decline this invitation, they are no longer a player." to Rule 6.

Change the text "e-mailing kennercat@gmail.com with their request" in Rule 7 to "making a post detailing this change".

This proposal is meant to allow players to be authors of the blog, because at the time of writing of the initial ruleset, the writer of the ruleset (e.g. me) did not know that there can be multiple authors to one blog.

Accepted 1 vote to 0, +2 score to Kenner and +1 morality to Kenner.

Proposal #2 by Kenner (Accepted)

Make a new rule and give it the following text:
"Each player has a number called their morality. When a proposal becomes accepted, the player who submitted it gains 1 morality. When a proposal becomes evil, the player who submitted it loses 1 morality."

Accepted March 17, 2009. +2 points to Kenner. +1 morality to Kenner.

"Each player has a location. The valid locations are Salt Island, Mount Brick, the Robot Forest and the Frozen Sea. Players start at Salt Island and may move to a new location once per day, by e-mailing kennercat@gmail.com with their request."

Accepted March 17, 2009. +2 to Kenner.
