[Spoon-business] statements

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two statements to make about the game.  They don't necessarily change 
anything, but I believe them to be true.

1. Because you can submit votes privately to the administrator, and messages 
on -discuss do get to him, my accidental posting of the votes to -discuss 
counts.  And I don't have to repost my votes.

2. No proposal that includes a major change to a signifigant part or the 
game, or creates/removes a signifigant part of the game, is without errors 
on it's first revision.  Examples include Societies (including the props 
made before I got here), Stocks, Mining, DimShips... shall I go on?

As a corolarry to statement 2, I encourage everyone making such proposals to 
do at least one of the following:
1. Post the first revision to -discuss, and make changes based on comments.
2. When people have problems with proposals, actually revise your props to 
reflect these.  If CFIable things are pointed out, fix them even if you 
think the rulings of said CFI's would be obvoious.

I've tried to follow those guidelines, though haven't been completly 
successful.  And I know just about everyone else has done similar things 
(like with corporations).  I'm just suggesting we all do these more, to help 
avoid the problems we have.

Respectfully,
Orc In A Spacesuit
