Hmmm. I assume this is the combination of "Pending events and deadlines with absolute dates and times do not occur" and "the Pause is increased by one each day at 00:00:00 UTC"? For what it's worth, I would argue that within a rule, more specific text takes precedence over more general text. So deadlines with absolute timestamps don't happen during the Procedure, but the Pause is exempt from this because r0 specifically says that happens during the Procedure. I'm pretty sure that was the interpretation used when r0 was created, at least. -- Wonko On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 3:44 PM, Craig Daniel <teucer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 3:17 PM, Alex Smith <ais523@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Mon, 2012-01-16 at 15:11 -0500, Daniel Lepage wrote: >>> On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Craig Daniel <teucer@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> > On Mon, Jan 16, 2012 at 9:03 AM, Daniel Lepage <dplepage@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> >> I check in on B Nomic every few months; did it die while I wasn't >>> >> looking?
