13a. When votes for the last week's bills are being counted, a Royal Fool shall be named.
13b. The administrator shall use the following rules to determine which player is the Royal Fool:
- The Player named Royal Fool last week shall remain Royal Fool unless any of the following apply.
- If a Player who is not Baron(ess) has included, in her/his post (on a bill, a comment on a bill, or a vote on a bill), a "new" "photoshopped" image of him/herself wearing a funny hat (funny hat is not defined in this rule), he/she shall be eligible to be named Royal Fool. (For an example of a funny hat image, see 13d.)
- When votes are tallied, Royal Fool nominees who posted their images on bills or in comment on bills that failed to pass will be rendered ineligible to be named Royal Fool.
- If more than one nominee remains, the Player who posted their bid first shall be named Royal Fool.
- The Royal Fool must make snarky comments at the expense of other players, particularly titled or noble players; the objects of those comments are obligated to pretend they understand and are amused by the jests.
- The Royal Fool shall receive 1 QI'yaH at the end of the scoring week if two bills or more fail.
- The Royal Fool shall lose 1 QI'yaH at the end of the scoring week if three bills or more pass.
- The Royal Fool shall have the authority to dub one funny hat photo "unfunny" each week. The Fool must explain why the photo is unfunny. A Player who posts an unfunny photo shall be ineligible to be named Royal Fool during that week.

Yes, that photo will also count as a nomination for Royal Fool if this bill passes.
Yes. Why? Well, posting a picture of himself dressed that way means the man certainly has enough cojones to get my vote. At least, I think those are supposed to be cojones, those little pink tufts on the ends of his extremities.
Yes - Oh I like this hat deal. It is completely absurd! My teachers always told me screwing around and being the class clown would not pay off. They are oh so wrong!
What are the rules about amending a posted bill? Since I don't see any, I am amending it, since y'all can change your votes if you want.
The change: In 13b, I added the word "new". It was always my intent to say that one could not re-use funny hat images, but must make a new one each time one posts, but I left that out.
To clear up my vote.
Yes - for bill 13.
No - For this fool being the "Royal Fool" if bill 13 becomes rule.
The idea is that the fool isn't a voteable position -- you have to post your fool image on a bill and if that bill passes you're elected. Like a rider in congress.
You know it does say that doesn't it. All those words, many of them multiple syllables, do so confuse the gray matter.
I will pull mu pic and post it with a bill once I have one crafted of worthy of note. I sure am glad I am not the poor bastard that has to keep track of all this... and it has barely started!
Actually, to pick nits, the bill says that a post attached to a bill that fails will be ineligible, but it doesn't say that a post must be on a bill.
Second edit. I have reworded 13b to more clearly indicate my intent. As I wasn't censured last time I edited the bill, I feel free to do so again.
No. This is a protest revote.
Specifically, I am protesting the constant revision of this bill.
No. I must agree with our Baron. Too many revisions.
Bah! Fickle voters and their vote-changing. I promise not to revise anymore.
Then perhaps I'll change my vote back to "yes" when it's nearly time for tallying and I know there's little chance of further revisions alarming me.
No, multiple revisions means that I am not informed of what I am voting for and I don't have time wait until the last minute to vote.
Nnnnooooo....
(- compelled to count it as a NO vote - This bill is too confusing for our linear minds to handle. We must have the One Ring. Hats that may disguise Hobbits are not permitted.)
It figures the fool bill would be foolishly executed and fearfully difficult to understand.
Hmm... If I leave my vote as "no" the bill fails to pass. If I change it to "yes" the bill still fails. But if I change it to "yes, and I'm the baron so this is double" it suddenly passes.
Power. It's good to be the Baron.
