Amend the following rule:

470. The Mappa II
There exists in Nomicron the Mappa. The Mappa is a 10 by 10 square grid that represents the territory that each player owns in Nomicron. Each square is represented by its position on the grid, with the letters A-J on the x-axis and the numbers 1-10 on the y-axis.

Immediately after the Mappa is created, each active player may claim one and only one initial space for free by notifying the Forum of the square they wish to have. When a players proposal passes, that player may claim a space that is adjacent to a space they already own by notifying the Forum. Diagonal spaces do not count. A player may not claim a space previously claimed by another player.

The Administrator will appoint an Officer of the Mappa to keep track of the Mappa and maintain a website that displays the current Mappa.

When a player joins Nomicron, they receive one free space on the Mappa. If at anytime, for whatever reason, a player has no spaces on the Mappa, that player may claim one free space.

When a player is deemed inactive or retires, all of that player's spaces on the Mappa are marked as 'unowned'. Spaces are not removed when a player goes on Nomic Break.

( 20030202: enacted [460] by JediSquid)
( 20030223: amended [470] by JediSquid)

To read:

There exists in Nomicron the Mappa. The Mappa is a 26 by 26 square grid that represents the territory that each player owns in Nomicron. Each square is represented by its position on the grid, with the letters A-Z on the x-axis and the numbers 1-26 on the y-axis.

Immediately after the Mappa is created, each active player may claim one and only one initial space for free by notifying the Public Forum of the square they wish to have. When a player?s proposal passes, that player may claim a space that is adjacent to a space they already own by notifying the Public Forum. Diagonal spaces do not count.

A player must have at least 25 points to claim ownership of another player's space. Claiming someone else's space is known as "space theft". The player perpetrating the "space theft" must be penalized 25 points. 15 points going to Free Parking and 10 points going to the victim of the "space theft" as compensation.

When a player takes ownership of a space he/she also takes ownership of everything that inhabits that space.

The Administrator will appoint an Officer of the Mappa to keep track of the Mappa and maintain a website that displays the current Mappa.

When a player joins Nomicron, they may take ownership of one unclaimed space on the Mappa. In the event that all spaces have been claimed, the player may choose a previously claimed space from any player without the aforementioned 25 point penalty.

When a player is deemed inactive or retires, all of that player's spaces on the Mappa are marked as 'unowned'. Spaces are not removed when a player goes on Nomic Break.

Players who fail to pass the Atomic Bomb, and as a result cause the Atomic Bomb to explode are branded 'evildoers'.
( 20030316: enacted [477] by Stevil)

To read:

A player who fails to pass the Atomic Bomb and as a result causes it to explode are branded an "Evildoer." If the player was an Atomic Scientist up to the point that the bomb exploded, they are also branded a "Traitor" and have their point total reduced to zero. When a player is labeled an Evildoer or a Traitor, they lose any spaces they may have claimed in The Mappa.

An Atomic Scientist may not be an Evildoer or a Traitor.

This rule takes precedence over all others in regards to points lost due to Atomic Bomb explosions and the definitions of Evildoer, Traitor, and Atomic Scientist.
