Editing TangenomicV (section)

===Immutable Rules===

'''Rule 1 (Immutable)'''<br />
This game shall be called Tangenomic V and it shall consist of rules which shall be identified by numbers and the sum of which shall be called the ruleset. Rules have two states, Mutable and Immutable. Mutable rules may be changed in any way not otherwise prohibited by the current ruleset. Immutable rules may be changed to Mutable rules, but not otherwise altered. No single action may both change the mutability of one or more rules and alter the actual text of a rule. Any new rules shall be initially mutable. Should two rules conflict, the rule with the lower number shall prevail. The ruleset shall not be altered save as described within the rules.

'''Rule 2 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
This game shall contain a gamestate, being all the non rule information which the ruleset tracks and interacts with. The gamestate shall not be altered save as described within the rules

'''Rule 3 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
This game shall have players. The names and number of players shall be part of the gamestate. Only registered members of RPG.net may become players. To become a player a member must post in this thread clearly indicating their intent to join the game. Players begin the game with 10 points, the number of points a player has being part of the gamestate. Players may elect to become inactive for a specified period of time, during which no alteration to their points or other aspects of the gamestate associated to the specific player shall be permitted. 

'''Rule 4 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
One player shall be designated the Speaker, this designation being part of the gamestate. The Speaker shall post an update of the current ruleset and gamestate no less frequently than every 50 posts as well as fulfill any additional duties assigned to him by later rules. There may be only one speaker at a time. The Speaker may resign his position by posting his intent to do so within this thread, at which time no changes to the gamestate or ruleset may be made save the selection of a new Speaker by a majority of the players who vote on the identity of the speaker within 24 hours of his resignation.

'''Rule 5 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
Players may alter the ruleset and/or the gamestate. The means by which this is done is the posting of proposals. To be valid proposals must be posted as quotes with an author attribution of the proposal. No later than 24 hours after the posting of a valid proposal the Speaker shall assign that proposal an identifying number and present it for a vote. All active players may vote on a proposal presented by the Speaker. The proposal shall fail if it fails to achieve quorum within 24 hours, such being defined as receiving a number of votes on it equal to one half the number of active players at the time it was presented by the speaker, and pass if at the end of that 24 hours one half or more of the votes registered on it are in favor or if at any time the number of favorable voters is a majority of the currently active players. To be valid a vote on Proposition X, where X is the identifying number assigned by the speaker, must be a bolded statement approximating the form "I vote in favor of Proposition number X" or "I vote against Proposition X."

'''Rule 6 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
In cases when rules must be clarified, the author of the proposal is the arbiter of the rule’s limits and valid contexts. The author of the proposal may, at his/her discretion, relinquish any of his/her proposals either to the Speaker or to another player of the author’s choice.

'''Rule 7 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
Items are possessions of a player awarded by rules or successful proposals. The possession of an item by a player is part of the gamestate. The quantity of each type of item possessed by a player is part of the gamestate. Items are not transferable between players unless explicitly stated as such in the rules. Items are not transferable between types unless explicitly stated so in the rules. Unless otherwise stated, when a new item is introduced all players have zero instances of that item.

'''Rule 8 (Immutable)'''<br /> 
A player must accrue 100 points and satisfy at least one other rule describing a condition of victory to achieve victory. There may be more than one victor.

'''Rule 9 (Immutable) [Previously -67: The Game]''' In recognition of RPG.net as the superior site on the web, and Tangency's superiority to all other discussion boards. IN honor of the mods that keep Tangency the place it is. Tangenomic V will no longer merely be considered a game. Tangenomic V will henceforth be the game. The wellspring from where all other, lesser, games emerge. Also everyone except Kremlin KOA gets 10 points, Kremlin KOA gets -15 points.
