spoon-discuss: The statute got me high: not a proosal


Not a proosal yet.

No, really. Look, it's not even on spoon-business.

Amend rule 129 by replacing the current text with the following
MONUMENTOFGRANITE-delimited text:
MONUMENTOFGRANITE
2 Nweeks after the Administrator, in a Public Forum, makes any statement
about the rules or game state, the rules and gamestate shall be altered to
reflect that statement, unless in the intervening time any player objects to
the statement in a Public Forum, in which case the usual methods for
determining the current rules and game state shall apply.
MONUMENTOFGRANITE

This should mean that player actions don't automatically get made legal (for
example, if I hide a statement saying I'm awarded a win inside a long
message and no one notices it) unless the Admin acks them in his daily
recogniser mail. It also ups the time to 2 NWeeks, which gives us more time
to notice problems. The "usual methods" part is deliberately vague to allow
us to use CFJs, or just to arrive at a consensus. It only takes one player
to stop the auto-legalisation, but one player can't just block things,
because the standard methods will apply, and it should prevent the Admin
from being able to abuse this, because we'd all need to let him for it to
work.

Although if (when) we do end up breaking the proosal mechanism, this would
allow the admin to change things to fix it, by our unanimous consent.

I'll probably proose this once I'm un-sushied.

uin.
