Rules of the Society

  1. Members of Society shall eat a Legitimate Bun every Friday.
  2. Bun Legitimacy
    1. By default, there is one Legitimate Bun per week.
    2. Buns eaten in customer meetings do not count as Legitimate Buns.
    3. If an inevitable reason (e.g. a company meeting) cancels the Friday Bun Session, the day before Friday is considered legitimate, and called a Replacement Friday.
  3. If there is no Bun Session neither on Friday nor Replacement Friday, the permission of eating the Bun of that week shall be added to Bun Legitimacy Storage. The Storage is personal. Thus, if one member of the Society is not present in a Session, only he/she shall get the increase.
  4. Sympathy Buns
    1. If a member of the Society is unable to attend the Friday Bun Session, he/she is allowed to eat a Legitimate Bun on a suitable Replacement Friday.
    2. If other members attend this Session on a Replacement Friday, their buns are called Sympathy Buns.
    3. The Society has not yet decided how Sympathy Buns should be dealt with (do they count as a Legitimate Bun of that week). At the moment, this matter should be agreed locally while the Sympathy Buns are being eaten.
  5. Definition of a Bun
    1. Traditional buns are considered Buns.
    2. Also sweet forms of buns, i.e. those with jam, chocolate, or other sugar-based decorations on top of them are considered Buns.
    3. Apples, bananas, slices of bread, vegetables and other clearly non-bunnish consumables are not considered Buns.
    4. Very small rocks, although they float in water just like buns, are not considered Buns.
    5. No other matter, regardless of the substance, size, taste, orientation, origin or colour, shall be considered Bun, unless unanimously decided otherwise by Society.
  6. Membership Circles
    1. Every Society Member belongs to a membership Circle, with the exception of the Society Founders.
    2. The first membership Circle is the Circular Circle. The last one possible is the Arctic Circle. Founders of the Society have all the rights and means to add or remove Circles anywhere before, after, or between the existing Circles. If a Circle has Members, it cannot be removed (unless all the Members of that Circle share a firm, common view that the Circle has rotten, and should be destroyed).

Extensions to the Rules:

  1. Nano Buns are not Legitimate.

The Society should yet specify the Bunishment, which will be the penalty for breaking these rules.
