This does not require a Second, but if you do not agree you may put Objection in the subject line to force this Proposal to go to a vote.====================================================================

I hereby propose a complete re-write of section 8, Unregistered Rare and Unusual Characters. I propose it for the following reasons:

1. While it states that chronicles must bring themselves into compliance, it doesn't account for a R&U NPC being deliberately brought into play for 3 sessions to give benefits to PCs and then disappear without being registered. This isn't an acceptable practice.

2. It has a really bizarre disciplinary process that is different than our Disciplinary section 6 of Administrative Bylaws in terms of its application of Condemnations or Censures, and there's really no reason to keep the Bylaws confusing by making alternate reprocussions in multiple sections of our Bylaws. I'd like to clean this up.

========================

Current Bylaw:

"8. Unregistered Rare and Unusual Characters
A. Chronicles that are found to be in violation of the Rare and Unusual bylaws must bring themselves in compliance within three game sessions.
B. Storytellers that fail to comply with Character Regulations Bylaw Section 9.F.i shall be subject to disciplinary action at the discretion of the Head Coordinator and Assistant Head Coordinators.
i. Any disciplinary action must be a unanimous decision by the executive team.
1. Condemnations or Censure actions do not require Council Approval but may be overturned by a majority vote of Council.
2. The executive team may impose a more severe disciplinary action as per the procedures outlined in the Administrative Bylaws, Section 6.b.vi.
3. The executive team may request that Council oversee the disciplinary action.
C. Rare and Unusual characters of a chronicle in violation are not viable for play within the network until the chronicle has returned itself to a state of compliance with the Rare and Unusual bylaws."

==================

Proposed Bylaw:

"8. Unregistered Rare and Unusual characters
A. Chronicles that are found to be in violation of the Rare and Unusual bylaws must bring themselves in compliance within three game sessions.
i. Should the chosen method of compliance be to remove the R&U violation from play within three game sessions instead of properly registering it, any and all long-term gains and benefits to player characters (PCs) and non-player characters (NPCs) shall be immediately removed as well. This is up to and including disciplines, gifts, skills, lores, items, or other similar benefits.
ii. Any character which qualifites for Rare and Unusual that is brought into play (either through background or at-game roleplay) to specifically benefit a player character (PC), be it as a Mentor or Elder Boon Merit or other mechanics for giving benefits or other items of experience expenditure to player characters (PCs), must be properly registered through the Rare and Unusual Registration. If it has not been properly registered, the benefacting player character (PC) immediately looses anything gained from the character in Rare and Unusual violation.
B. Storytellers that fail to comply with Character Regulations Bylaws may be subject to Council Proposal for disciplinary actions as described in Section 6 of the Administrative Bylaws.
i. Players who have lied or otherwise deliberately obstructed the truth or cheated for the purposes of circumventing and thus violating the Rare and Unusual Bylaws for gains for their player characters (PC) may be subject to Council Proposal for the administrative death of said player character (PC) in addition to any disciplinary actions in Section 6 of the Administrative Bylaws.
C. Rare and Unusual characters of a chronicle in violation are not viable for play within the network until the chronicle has returned itself to a state of compliance with the Rare and Unusual bylaws."

==================

I added the following Bylaw line items: 8.A.i & 8.A.ii
I removed the following Bylaw line items: everything under current 8.B
I added the following Bylaw line items: I re-wrote everything under 8.B.
