Why does this need to have higher Chutzpah than every other rule in the rule set?  And I favor allowing revisions anyway.

I think see a point to this seemingly trivial change.  I'll let it fly, even though Dan has more points than me thanks to gritter's exit in a cloud of score points.

YES > Proposal 309/0: Judges make typos too! (Dan)

Rule 257 already permits corrections to CFJs.  This modification would also make 255 rather confusing...CFJs and other non-proposal "official documents" don't have proponents.  Rules, especially multiply-revised rules, don't have proponents either.  Covers old ground wearing less sensible shoes.

Again with the excessive Chutzpah.  Also, it looks like "If a player, after being Thrown, ends up on a square which is occupied by an Impassable Object, e loses 5 points [[for being injured in the landing]] and is Thrown at that square." is an infinite recursion loop.  Fly  Elbonian Airways!  Again and again and again and again and....

NO > Proposal 317/0: Cheaters WILL be punished! (Dan)

I'm voting no because this gives even more of an unfair advantage than other LOGAS stuff.  Most stuff on the LOGAS favors those who are most vigilantly watching their e-mail.  This proposal is essentially free points to whoever judged the CFJ, since e will be aware of the player's kickable state before anyone else, and indeed can administer the kick as part of the posting that delivers the ruling.

I like games that have open-ended play.  We've got enough different things to do with points now that the game can probably stay interesting without a clear win condition.

NO > Proposal 326/0: The Rat Race (Rob)

Really interesting idea, but (and my apologies for not noticing this sooner, or I would have pointed it out) some dimensions change very slowly, and the use of 5 points as a fixed value in the Collision scenario means one could easily lose more Style or Charm or Activity than e has.  A proportional value would be better.

Pity this got eaten.  It *is* a very amusing idea.
