Re: [Spoon-business] NWEEK 56 BALLOT (Corrected)

["Glotmorf" <dwhytock@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

> Proposal 1756/0: Age before Beauty (Wild Card)

No.  Ain't no r1282 to amend.

> Proposal 1757/2: For the Love of Bob (The Pusher Robot)

No.  As quoted from the Book of the Subgenius, "Kill Bob, or 
kill me."  And I'd rather it not be me.

> Proposal 1758/0: Repeal of the LOSA (Wild Card)

No.  You got a prob. with short, pal?

> Proposal 1759/1: The Council Revisited (Wonko)

No.  No definition in the current rules for Oligarch, Ancient, 
etc. (Thanks, Teucer.)

> Proposal 1760/0: Political Tafl (Teucer)

Abstain.  If this gets approved, I'll probably watch for a few 
rounds before playing.

> Proposal 1761/0: Allowing Actions Again (Wonko)

No.  Made unnecessary by a recent CFI.

> Proposal 1762/0: Standardized Elections (Wonko)

Shelve.  Not thrilled by the Borda Count for a couple reasons:

1. There should be a tiebreaking method other than random 
selection.  Presumably we wouldn't be having an election if we 
didn't care about the choice.  Perhaps a second election round 
with the reduced Choice Pool...?

2. The way it's worded right now, if I don't list all possible 
choices, I haven't officially voted.  If I only care about one 
of the possible choices, I don't particularly want to think 
about the order of the others.  I therefore think it should be 
an option to list some subset of the possible choices.

> Proposal 1764/1: Nevinyrral's Disk (SkArcher)

No.  R255 does something that r257 doesn't: it allows the 
originator of the document being corrected to object to the 
correction ("No, that's not a typo...I *meant* to say 
'fnord'."), resulting in the correction being undone.  Reread 
and consider consolidation...?

WRT r295: Okay, this is proof...uin is dead and has possessed 
SkArcher.  BTW, no.

WRT r578: To quote from the Unix fortune file, "No, no, a 
thousand times no.  Go boil an egg."

WRT r1139: "Because nobody ever has." True, but no one had the 
heart to tell Mr. in a Spacesuit that.  As a separate prop, 
perhaps?

WRT r1252: "I think we all know this is abused." Yes, but has 
it filed a complaint?  Vote is still no.

WRT r1639: "We broke this in record time I think." No, the 
breakage record is either for Wonko's Garbage Can scam or my 
Glotmorf Rules! scam.  Though I think I win because I 
predicted mine ahead of time...

WRT r1637: Actually, this should have been repealed as soon as 
it was implemented, by its own authority.

> Proposal 1765/0: Untitled Prop by SkArcher (SkArcher)

There is just too much
I have done by using this
So my vote is no

> Proposal 1766/0: Gender Fix (Zarpint)

No.  By the resulting wording of r295, gender changes could  
stack up until the beginning of the following nweek -- first 
one gender change would take effect, then another.  This is in 
effect permitting a style scam, since there would be nothing 
preventing someone from changing gender a thousand times and 
racking up 1000 style.  It wouldn't even be more work for the 
Admin, since he would only have to look at the last one and 
declare that to be the resulting gender change, but 
theoretically 999 gender changes would have happened before 
that one.

I'd kick someone in the ass for trying it, except your 
proposal prevents that too.

Besides...what sort of gender specification requires 127 
characters?

> Proposal 1767/0: Pseudocoding is not a crime (Zarpint)

No.  Pseudocode would make things like the abovementioned 
style scam to be convenient.  And I still wouldn't be able to 
kick you in the ass.

Although I like the idea of the "interestingly appropriate 
effect."  Sufficiently vague as to allow most anything.

> Proposal 1768/1: Rewarding Strangeness (Zarpint)

No. Actually, this rewards the making of proposals that, if 
enacted, would royally piss Dave off.  If he had a webcam and 
we could actually watch him pull his hair and blow steam out 
of his ears, that would be one thing, but as it is I fail to 
see the point.

> Proposal 1769/0: Attributes are very Stylish (Zarpint)

Shelve.  Last I looked, Wonko had a society that possessed 
infinite style.

> Proposal 1770/0: Once More, With Less Suckage (Baron von Skippy)

No.  Maybe put this in a subgame.  But not as part of the main 
game.

Damn...didn't I like ANYTHING this nweek?

Guess not.
