An amount is only valid if the currency's backing document binds the ninny or the ninny has this amount of the asset, and the backing document specifies a maximum FINE amount, and the amount is no greater than the maximum. When in effect, the ninny SHALL, as soon as possible, either destroy this amount of eir asset or transfer it to the Lost and Found Department. The ninny is only obliged to perform one destruction or transfer per question on sentencing, even if sentences of this type are assigned more than once or go into effect more than once. * COMMUNITY SERVICE with a set of up to five tasks (the prescribed tasks) that the ninny CAN reasonably and legally perform, appropriate for rule breaches of moderate consequence if the severity of the rule breach is reasonably correlated with the consequences of performing the tasks, and especially if any other available non-null punishment would be either unjust or insufficient. The balance between compensatory and punitive service is left to the judge's discretion. While a sentence of this type is in effect, the ninny SHALL perform the prescribed tasks (as soon as possible, unless a different time limit is specified). * TIME OUT with a number of days between 7 and 21.

A Bank is a public contract whose Banker is not 'none'. A contract's Banker CAN be flipped by any player without 3 objections, or, if it is a Bank, as specified by the contract. Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, it CANNOT be flipped (or initialized to a non-'none' value) in any other way, and CANNOT be flipped to a given player if any of the following are true: a) The player has not explicitly consented to be Banker of that Bank. (Intent to flip a contract's Banker to oneself constitutes explicit consent to be Banker of that contest.) b) A member of that player's basis has already become a Banker within the past seven days. The Banker of a Bank CAN generally act on behalf of that Bank to award, create, destroy and transfer assets which the Bank CAN, but SHALL NOT do so except as allowed by the text of eir Bank.

Changes to Senate Membership are secured. The set of all Senators is known as the Senate. A first-class non-Senator player whose most recent registration was at least sixty days ago CAN flip eir Senate Membership Senator by announcement. A Senator CAN call an Emergency Session with 2 Senator support, provided no other emergency session existed at any time in the preceding 48 hours. An emergency session lasts until it is terminated. An unterminated emergency session terminates 21 days after it was called. A Senator CAN terminate an emergency session without 3 Senator objections. Terminating an emergency session is a secured change. The Assessor's monthly report includes the dates when the most recent emergency session was called and terminated. During an Emergency Session, any Senator CAN declare a filibuster on a proposal in its voting period, with 2 supporting Senators, provided no filibuster has been declared on that proposal in the past. Any Senator CAN end a filibuster on a proposal with 4 supporting Senators and without Senator objection. While a proposal is in filibuster, quorum on any Agoran Decision regarding its adoption is the number of eligible voters plus one, rules to the contrary notwithstanding. During an Emergency Session, quorum on any non-filibustered Decision is N/3 (rounded up), where N is the number of active first-class player Senators, Rules to the contrary notwithstanding. When an emergency session begins, all non-Senators' postures become supine, and non-Senators CANNOT flip their posture while the session lasts. Amend Rule 2124 by appending the following to the paragraph beginning with "The Executor of such an announcement..." Specifically, an intent to perform an action which CAN be performed with N support, with N objection or with N consent, where N is a class of entity, CAN only be supported or objected to by entities of class N. Amend Rule 1950 by replacing its entire text with: The eligible voters on a democratic decision are those entities that were active first-class players at the start of its voting period, or the active Senators if there is an Emergency Session. The voting limit of each eligible voter on a democratic decision is one. Amend 1607 (The Promotor) by inserting the following paragraph after the paragraph beginning with "In a given Agoran week," During an Emergency Session, the above restrictions are waived, and the Promotor MAY distribute any proposal in the Proposal Pool. Flip the Senate Membership of each acitve player who was a Senator immediately before the adoption of this proposal to Senator, and flip the Senate Membership of every other entity to Citizen. Flip the Senate Membership of Hilary Rodham Clinton to Senator, by way of apology for false accusations made over a year ago. The Ambassador SHALL, as soon as possible after the adoption of this proposal, inform Hilary Rodham Clinton of this change and its effects.
