20.3 The Book of Deeds
Author Truthflux
Rule Change Type Strong

Credit

Enact the following rule:

The Book of Deeds
Mutable Rule
Text There exists a book called the Book of Deeds, designation DEED.

Pages in the book are created by referendum and may be destroyed by the owner under the definition of objects.

Pages in the book contain the following fields:

TITLE (Required)

OWNER (Required)

TEXT (Required)

The pages in the Book of Deeds form a class of objects called deeds. When initially created, a deed is owned by the entity named in the OWNER field, or the proposer if no valid owner of objects is named.

The owner of a deed may change the OWNER field as required to show change in ownership.

The TEXT and TITLE fields may not be changed, but this rule defers precedence to any other rule that specifies how to change these.

The contents of the TEXT field constitute matters that affect gameplay as if rules.

This rule is deemed to contain text sufficient to implement the described matters included in each deed to the extent that such matters do not affect entities defined outside of the deed other than the owner of the deed and any other objects owned by the owner.

In case of emergency, a player may sacrifice all his points and post to the public forum the suspension of the book of deeds, immediately from which point no such text shall be deemed to be included in this rule until a referendum has been held to reinstate the book's operation.

Changes to the deemed text of this rule from the previous two paragraphs are weak rule changes under Rule 101 and this rule has precedence over Rule 206, though only to the extent necessary to allow such changes to deemed text without vote in the course of the previous two paragraphs' activities.

The deeds a player owns cannot help them on the path to enlightenment.

Very interesting. But why do you call it deed? Why have only one owner of a deed at a time?

I called them deeds because they're a bit like title deeds, in that they show evidence of certain transferable rights. Also, DEED has four letters, which is handy for naming of books.

I admit it's a bit of a confusing name. Can you think of a better one?

The single owner bit was just to keep things simple given how complex the rest of the rule was getting.
