spoon-business: last-minute stuff

["Tyler Crosby" <nomicvoice0@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here we go... I apologize in advance.

1)As Wonko's proposal does what my proposal does, while doing it better, I:
{{
Replace the text of proposal 370/0 with the following -0- delimited text and 
retitle it __Windows aren't all bad!__:

-0-
Create a new rule entitled __The Window Gremlins__ with the following text:

{{
There exist two gremlins, The Window Gremlin and The Other Window Gremlin, 
also known as Curt and Rod respectively.  If a player inhabits the same 
square on The Grid as Curt or Rod, or is in Limbo with Curt or Rod, e may 
move directly to the other (known as "Climbing through the Window") by 
declaring eir intention to do so in a Public Forum.  If Curt or Rod is in 
the possesion of a player who Climbs through the Window, that player loses 
possesion of Curt or Rod.  If at any point, Curt and Rod inhabit the same 
space on The Grid, they both go into Hiding.  If Curt or Rod is Hiding and 
the other is Active, the Active one goes into Hiding.  If Checkpoints exist, 
Curt and Rod both become Active at the begininng of every Checkpoint.  If 
Checkpoints do not exist, Curt and Rod become Active at the beginning of the 
first and sixth ndays of each nweek.  Whenever Curt and Rod become Active, 
Curt is placed on a random square on The Grid with an x value of 1, and Rod 
is placed on a random square on The Grid with a x value of 20.

2)A new proposal: sorry Dave, but this one might take some work.  It will 
all get better at the bottom of the message.  More uses for this will come 
soon.

{{
__Weather__

Create a new rule, entitled __Weather__ with the following -0- delimited 
text:

-0-
There exists Weather on the Grid.  The Weather has characteristics, which 
are the same as the weather where the administrator resides (or in another 
place of his choosing). Characteristics are updated at the beginning of each 
Checkpoint, if Checkpoints exist, or at the beginning of the first and sixth 
nday of each nweek, if Checkpoints do not exist.

Temperature is a Characteristic.
If the temperature on the Grid is above freezing, all Frozen squares melt 
and become Wet.  If the temperature on the Grid is below freezing, all Wet 
squares freeze and become Frozen, and the Yeti enters the Grid at a random 
location if e is in Limbo.  If the temperature on the Grid is above freezing 
for 3 straight Characteristic changes, all Wet squares cease to be Wet and 
the Yeti goes into Limbo.

[[More will be added later if this passes...  This could get fun.]]
}}

3)Yet another proposal, as I must use my ration of bandwidth for the nweek.

{{
__The Yoyo Gremlin__

Create a new rule, entitled __The Yoyo Gremlin__ with the following -0- 
delimited text:

-0-
There exists a gremlin known as the Yoyo Gremlin.  If the Yoyo Gremlin is 
thrown at a player and is not caught, it returns to the possesion of the 
player who threw it.  If it is caught, it goes into Hiding for one nweek.

[[Just kinda fun...]]
[[And we like Gremlins...]]
}}

4)One more substantial proposal, I swear!
{{
__Tilt__

Amend rule 301/1 by adding the following () delimited paragraph:
()
The Grid is divided into Quadrants.  The SW Quadrant is composed of all 
squares with x values between 1 and 10 inclusive, and y values between 1 and 
10 inclusive.  The SE Quadrant is composed of all squares with x values 
between 11 and 20 inclusive, and y values between 1 and 10 inclusive.  The 
NW Quadrant is composed of all squares with x values between 1 and 10 
inclusive, and y values between 11 and 20 inclusive.  The NE Quadrant is 
composed of all squares with x values between 11 and 20 inclusive, and y 
values between 11 and 20 inclusive.
()

Create a new rule, entitled __Tilt__, with the following -0- delimited text:

-0-
At the beginning of each nweek, the number of items on the Tilt List present 
in each Quadrant of the Grid shall be calculated.  The Grid will be then 
said to "Tilt" in the direction of the Quadrant which has the highest number 
of the objects on the Tilt List.  All objects on the list below will then 
move two spaces in the direction of that Quadrant (i.e. if it Tilts to the 
SE quadrant, all objects on the Tilt List move two spaces diagonally down 
and right).  If this movement would cause an object to move off of the Grid, 
it is put into Limbo.

The Tilt List is as follows:
1)Big Rocks
2)Big Sticks
3)Shields
4)Gremlins not in the possesion of a player
[[any suggestions would be nice...]]
-0-

Amend rule 356/0 by adding the following -00- delimited paragraph:

-00-
If the Big Rock on which a Siren is sitting moves, the Siren moves with it.  
If a Siren moves, any players in that Siren's ZOE move the same distance in 
the same direction (eir position relative to the Siren remains the same).  
If Sirens go into Limbo, they are destroyed.
-00-
}}

5) And finally, the proposal which will get me back on Dave's good side 
after all that and give us some time to catch our collective breath:

{{
__Ahh....__

Create a new rule entitled __A Breather__ with the following -0- delimited 
text:

-0-
At the beginning of every nweek, the following things shall occur in order 
immediately:

1)The following () delimited paragraph shall be appended to the end of rule 
3/4:
()
While the Clock is Off, Judgements may be passed and enacted on current 
CFJs.
()

2)The Clock will be turned Off.

When the Watch reads 1 wweek, the following things shall occur in order 
immediately:

1)The final paragraph of rule 3/5 shall be deleted.

2)The Clock will be turned On.

3)This rule will repeal itself.

[[The purpose of this is to give Dave some time to effectively make all the 
changes to his DB and the website without being overwhelmed by Real Life 
(TM) and without us piling on more stuff...  It also gives us a little break 
time and an opportunity to clear up any outstanding CFJs we have...  This is 
really a good idea folks, think about it.  Do it for Mr. Administrator.]]
}}

*wipes sweat from brow*
There we go.
Mental note: keep up with proposals so I don't have to stay up late typing 
again...

*Ignore this signature if :
1) it doesn't make sense to you
2) it seems outdated
3) you feel moved to make a sarcastic comment
4) you didn't read to the end of this list.
Thank you, and have a nice day.*
