He didn't do anything. Neither did Wonko. All those things contradict the
default case, which means they can't happen. Society rules defer to game
rules.

What I mean is, if Wonko's right and we are all his slaves, Wonko May Not Vote has Wonko completly under eir thumb. Which means that Wonko will most likely not try to argue that we are all eir slaves.

However, this Wonko May Not Vote person seems to have a keen understanding of the rules, and how to mess with them. We may need to fear him more than Wonko.

This is all fuzzy to me. Every time I look at the society rules I get a new impression of them, probably because somebody slapped it together, and then parts were ripped out and patched in in attempts to fix it. Hmm. Sounds like the stock market, strip mining, and what I hear about dimships.

Why do people vote for broken rules? If you submit one at 3AM (Glotmorf, mining) and somebody says there's problems, reread the whole thing and fix it. Heck, even if nobody says anything, reread it the next day. We still have no what the results (other than mass destruction and elevation change) of mining are, as the rules refer to revealing squares, but doesn't define that.

Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant. It's morning, and I'm not a morning person. I usually get up sometime after noon, but class at 8:30 kind of messes with that. I'm not trying to yell at anyone, just ask for people to fix problems before they start.
