[Spoon-business] Fixing my shelves

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

I pressed Send too early on the last email.  I was going to include more 
prop changes. Well, here's the changes to mine that were shelved:

In Proposal 1198, __More Raw Materials__, I replace the 2 instances of the 
the word "properties" to "attributes", and the 1 instance of the word 
"property" to "attribute". [[They are all at the beginning, Dave.  I make 
this change not because I think it makes any kind of difference, but because 
Wonko doesn't like that word.]]

I forgot to note that __More Raw Materials__ had not passed when I made 
__Lots o' Stuff__.  Therefore, I need to fix that:
I add the following to the beginning of __Lots o' Stuff__:
{{
If this proposal passes and proposal 1198, __More Raw Materials__, has not, 
this proposal is instead shelved, and no points are earned for this proposal 
passing.
}}

I change Proposal 1199, __Automation__, to the following:
Create a new rule:
{{__Automation__
Each Player may have an Automation Script. This Script is a list of 
conditions, and Actions (called Auto Actions) that Player takes when those 
conditions happen. If it is legal to do so, when the conditions for Auto 
Actions are met, the Player takes those Auto Actions. Auto Actions do not 
take place at the same time that other Actions are taking place or pending 
(like the actions that happen at the end of an nweek), they instead become 
pending until all other actions (except other Auto Actions that became 
pending afterwards) and their results finish resolving. Players do not take 
Auto Actions if there are any restrictions on eir posts to Public Forums and 
eir Automation Script does not meet those conditions.

A Player may change eir Automation Script at any time, including while the 
Clock is Off or e is On Leave. Automation Scripts may only be changed as 
specified in the rules. The Administrator may choose to refuse any change to 
an Automation Script (other than one that removes all contents of it) or any 
Automation Action for any reason, including but not limited to it causeing 
confusion, it putting an undue burden on em, it breaking the game, it 
causing a paradox or unknown state of the game, or it having unintended 
consequences. Auto Actions and Automation Scripts do not count as pseudocode 
actions simply by being conditional Actions.  [[But if you do things like 
include loops, you're still toast.]]
}}

I would like to remind Wonko at this time that e has 2 shelved proposals 
that e may want to change also.

Respectfully,
Orc In A Spacesuit
