# Notable events
* Jason Cobb takes over the office of Rulekeepor by deputising to
publish the first Short Logical Ruleset (SLR) since October 15.
* There is some discussion of the formatting, which may have been messed up.
* Jason Cobb indicates e doesn't intend to keep the office, and
publishes contract text allowing another player to take over the
office from em. Thread: "BUS: Housekeeping (contains proposal)".
* Jason Cobb proposes to ratify the SLR e just published, but others
say it is better to wait a while before ratifying a ruleset.
Thread: "BUS: Housekeeping (contains proposal)".
* Jason Cobb possibly earns 18000 Coins through a scam involving three
recent rule changes: Emerald ribbons (for winning an election),
"Glitter" (allows a player to earn Coins for re-earning a ribbon),
and Jason Cobb's Proposal 8276, which ensured that someone can win
the same election multiple times. Thread: "BUS: [Assessor] Election".
* CFJ 3783 addresses whether this succeeded. G. submits an argument
against it, because "a scam's no fun if there's not a defense".
* This leads to some discussion of doing a "currency reevaluation",
for example by reducing everyone's coin balance to at most 500.
* The Prime Minister election enters the voting period.
# Rule questions
* In a similar vein to twg's campaign speech "CFJ: I am a candidate for
Prime Minister.", G. publishes a proposal containing an action in its
text, and calls a CFJ about whether the action took effect. Thread:
"BUS: proposal sorta paradox thing".
* G. submits an argument on CFJ 3779 (on whether sending "And my axe!"
caused twg to become a candidate for Prime Minister) and reassigns it
to Jason Cobb (probably because Murphy took too long). Jason Cobb
judges it FALSE.
# Miscellaneous
* Zombie ATMunn comes back to life, and to mark the occasion submits a
proposal that some hidden text takes effect unless someone can guess
it by its hash. The proposal is negatively received and e withdraws
it. Thread: "BUS: The dead rises again".
