Re: [s-d] Re: [s-b] [auto] BvS submits p41


The official ruling on this is that it's pronounced "enn-week", not "nweek" with the n and w merged together (the reason we have an official ruling is because of an argument over a Haiku prop).

Crap I'm gonna be writting alot less proposals if this passes........
Seriously though what about a nweek vs an nweek? It looks like you use the former but if you say the former aloud you will see why not.


BvS has submitted a new proposal, p41.

---------------------------------
Proposal 41/0: Raising the Bar... or Else
A Standard Proposal by BvS
Last modified on nweek 87, nday 4

Add an item to the list of Ministries in Rule 4-4:
{{
=== The Ministry of Grammar ===

The Ministry of Grammar is a Ministry; its Minister may be known as the Grammar Nazi. The Grammar Nazi is responsible for maintaining a high standard or grammar
in the Game, as defined by the rules laid down in Rule X.
}}

Add a rule to Section 2 of the ruleset:
{{
== Rules of Grammar ==

The following rules apply to all Game Documents. If a Revisable Game Document is revised and a violation of one of the following rules is not amended as part of
the revision, the repeated error is treated as a new violation.

The Grammar Nazi is expected to enforce the following rules:
 * Correct spelling
 * Proper use of commas and apostrophes
 * Proper use of  the following homonyms:
   * there/their/they're
   * your/you're
   * its/it's
   * lose/loose
 * Proper use of Spivak pronouns
 * Proper use of adjectives vs. adverbs

For each violation of one of the grammar rules in the above list, a player is given one Suck Point. At the beginning of each nweek, each player with 10 or more Suck Points loses 10 Suck Points and is able to propose one fewer proposal that nweek than they would otherwise. This process is repeated until no player has 10 or more Suck Points. A player may spend 1A at any time to have 5 Suck
Points taken away from them.
}}

Amend the description of the Ministry of Grammar as follows: Replace the letter
"X" with the number of the rule titled == Rules of Grammar ==.

[[More rules can be added if anyone can think of something that they want to see
there - this is what I came up with right now.]]
