[s-b] Proposal: Transactions

["Jamie Dallaire" <bad.leprechaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

The following Proposal, entitled "Transactions", is a complete inversion of
the last part of the oracularity I made a while ago. If this were to pass,
the bit about transactions containing a body of text which may or may not
contain game actions and assertions would still apply, while the below
paragraph would free us from the current hassle of determining whether each
part of the body is or is not a game action/assertion/something else in
order to decide whether something actually is a transaction or not. Any
attempted transaction with a beginning, an end, and a body of text in
between would most definitely constitute a transaction. Any irrelevant parts
of the body would simply be disregarded, because not addressed in the rule.

Here is the Proposal, which I also Color Black:
{
In Rule 4E12, replace the text:
{{
If every sentence between the start and end of the Transaction constitutes
either, a Game Action that would be legal for the Outsider to take exactly
as specified, or an assertion that would be true at the time it occurs
within the list if the Game Actions were so taken, then the Transaction is
said to Succeed.
}}
with:
{{
If it would be legal for the Outsider to take each Game Action within the
Transaction exactly as specified, and each assertion would be true at the
time it occurs within the list if the Game Actions were so taken, then the
Transaction is said to Succeed.
}}
}
