A few changes to the statutes 

- Added (TM) sign after every mention of Kipje, except for in those cases where the mention is within a pledge or statement.
- Added skeleton articles for citizenship and active players in title I
- A newly enacted season shall replace the current season, and not be null and void. This was a mistake, as it would not allow the Council or President to enact a new season.
- Pre-existing seasons (first and second) have been defined
- Membership of the Council is now open to all who have played four hours in the current season, and not week
- Rules are binding on all players. Not only on all citizens.
- Usage of smites is illegal on players. Not only on citizens.
- Some minor re-naming of articles
- Land claims shall be subject to property rights. They can be sold, lended and everything you can do with property.
- Land claims not used to prevent griefing will still be removed, but the contents will no longer be removed as well in those cases.
- Redistribution of resources for land reclamation has changed. Primary items to be added to the administrations currency reserve now include diamond blocks and CraftyCoins.
- Opened skeleton articles for warnings and wrongful sentencing in the criminal code.
