spoon-discuss: Private Votes made public (commentary)



> P359/0, The Name Game, by M'cachessilnath
no

I would have voted for this one except that it puts in place strict rules
about what should be capitalized and what should not.  Since my own rules
are remarkably inconsitant with regards to this sort of capitalization, I
am against the establishment of this sort of precedent.

I have another potential problem with this proposal, and that is that it
might begin to suggest a category into which this game very game might
fit.  I _know_ that this game defies categorization, and therefore I, as a
player will defy to the utmost any attempt to force a category upon it.


> P360/0, naming the nameless, by Benjamin
no

This is scary.  I don't want to get into the habit of requiring things to
have names.  Even seemingly unimportant things like rules and whatnot
could quickly set a precedent which would destabalise my argument on
certain other topics which shall remain namelss.

Let us rather celebrate an end to names and the return to smooth, flexible
game play and happy rules-wrangling.  Long live the.

Poulenc.
