Amend Rule 2297 by appending this text to the last paragraph:
By default, the current hit points of an Object In Space is equal to
its maximum hit points. To deal N damage an Object In Space is to
reduce its current hit points by N. If an object does not have
positive current hit points, it is destroyed.

Amend Rule 2199 to read as follows:
While a player qualifies for a Ribbon, any person CAN, by
announcement, award that player a Ribbon of that color, unless
e already possesses one.
When a player earns a Ribbon, e thereafter qualifies for that
Ribbon until the opportunity expires, which occurs either when it
is used or at the time limit, which defaults to one week. An
opportunity is used when a player is awarded a Ribbon of that
colour, e does not qualify for that Ribbon except through earned
opportunities, and the opportunity is the one that will expire
first. In case of a tie, only one of the opportunities tied for
shortest duration is used.
Ribbons are a class of fixed assets. If winning is secured,
then changes to Ribbon holdings are secured with the same power
threshold. Ownership of Ribbons is restricted to players.
Each Ribbon has exactly one color. Colors with different names
are distinct, regardless of spectral proximity. Each color of
Ribbon is a currency.
The Herald is the recordkeepor of Ribbons.
When a player earns a Ribbon as outlined below, any person CAN
once, in a timely manner (except for White Ribbons, which can be
awarded at any time within a month after they are earned),
create that Ribbon in the player's possession by announcement,
unless the player already possesses the color of Ribbon e earned
(earning a Ribbon more than once entitles the bearer to multiple
Ribbon awards, though capitalizing on this may be difficult):
(+R) When an interested proposal is adopted and changes at least
one rule with Power >= 3, its proposer earns a Red Ribbon.
(+O) When an interested proposal is adopted by voting with no
valid votes AGAINST, its proposer earns an Orange Ribbon.
(+G) At the end of each month, each player who held at least one
office continuously during that month earns a Green Ribbon,
unless e failed to perform an official duty within a time
limit during that month.
(+C) When a player deputises for an office, e earns a Cyan
Ribbon.
(+B) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question in
an interested judicial case other than a question on
sentencing, e earns a Blue Ribbon, unless e violated a
requirement to submit that judgment within a time limit.
(+K) When a player assigns a judgement to a judicial question in
an interested judicial case on sentencing, e earns a Black
Ribbon, unless e violated a requirement to submit that
judgment within a time limit.
(+W) A first-class player who has never owned a White Ribbon
qualifies for one. Additionally, when a first-class person
has been a player continuously for at least three months,
was never a player before that period, and names another
player as eir mentor (and has not named a mentor in this
fashion before), the named player earns a White Ribbon.
(+M) When, during Agora's birthday, a player publicly
acknowledges the occasion, e earns a Magenta Ribbon.
(+U) When a player is awarded the Patent Title Champion, e earns
an Ultraviolet Ribbon.
(+V) When a player is awarded a Patent Title, e earns a Violet
Ribbon, unless e earns a different Ribbon for the award.
(+I) When a player is awarded a degree, e earns an Indigo
Ribbon.
If this rule mentions at least six different specific colors for
Ribbons, then upon a win announcement that one or more players
each possess at least one Ribbon of each such color, all those
players satisfy the Winning Condition of Renaissance.
Cleanup procedure: For each of those players, one Ribbon of
each such color in eir possession is destroyed.
[The net effects are not huge, but enable the other proposals of this
batch. They also get rid of my dumb idea to put a time limit on White
Ribbon awards.]

explicitly labeled as a win announcement and/or clearly stating
that one or more persons win the game.
with this text:
A win announcement is an announcement meeting all of these
requirements:
a) It is factually correct.
b) It is explicitly labeled as a win announcement and/or clearly
states that one or more persons thereby win the game.
c) If it was a win announcement, then it would cause one or more
Winning Conditions to be satisfied, as defined by other
rules.

Amend Rule 911 (Appeal Cases) by appending, immediately after this
text:
As soon as possible after a judicial panel is assigned, each
member of the panel SHALL publish an appeals opinion indicating
a valid judgement to assign to the case -- only the last such
published opinion for each member is used to determine the
outcome. Each member SHOULD choose an appropriate judgement,
and include arguments for eir choice.
this text, followed by a paragraph break:
If prejudice is not explicitly specified, then an opinion
indicating AFFIRM or REMAND implicitly indicates without
prejudice, while an opinion indicating REMIT or OVERRULE
implicitly indicates with prejudice.

Amend Rule 2125 (Regulation Regulations) by replacing
c) The rules explicitly state that it CAN be performed while
certain conditions are satisfied. Such an action CANNOT be
performed except as allowed by the rules. In particular, if
the action in question is publishing a type of document, then
a public message is not that type of document (even if it is
labeled as such) except as allowed by the rules.
d) The rules explicitly state that it MAY be performed while
certain conditions are satisfied. Except as allowed by the
rules, performing such an action is the Class-N Crime of
Restricted Behavior, where N is the maximum power of the
rules explicitly allowing it (rounded up as needed to become
a valid Class of Crime).
e) It would, as part of its effect, modify information for which
some player is required to be a recordkeepor. Such an action
CANNOT modify that information except as allowed by the
rules.
f) A judicial finding has determined that it is regulated, and
has not been superseded by subsequent legislation.
with
c) A rule or rules explicitly state that it CAN be performed while
certain conditions are satisfied. Such an action CANNOT be
performed by non-instruments except as allowed by the rules.
When publishing a type of document is regulated in this
manner, it does not make IMPOSSIBLE publishing of a similar
document, only that no public document is that type of
document unless allowed.
d) The rules explicitly state that it MAY be performed while
certain conditions are satisfied. Except as allowed by the
rules, a non-instrument performing such an action is a
violation of the highest-power rule specifically allowing it,
with ties broken in favor of the rule with the lowest ID
number. When publishing a type of document is regulated in this
manner, it does not prohibit publishing a similar document,
only alleging that a public document is that type of document
unless allowed.
e) It would, as part of its effect, modify information for which
some player is required to be a recordkeepor. Such an action
performed by a non-instrument CANNOT modify that information
except as allowed by the rules.
f) A judicial declaration has determined that it is regulated, and
has not been superseded by subsequent legislation or a later
judicial declaration.
[This means that proposals and other rules can, by default, perform
regulated actions. Rules still explicitly prohibiting things sill
prohibit them, in particular, they still cannot perform actions secured
at higher power or otherwise manipulate higher-power entities (unless,
of course, they have power 3 or greater).]
