[spoon-discuss] help for Dave

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

First, an apoligy for everyone:
Hey guys, it's now 2:46 PM, out morning and squarely in the afternoon.  I 
apoligize about my earlier ranting; it's like a Jekyll and Hyde thing with 
me.  If I'm not fully conscious, I'm gonna make things sound bad, and I'll 
probably confuse you as well.  At least I had the sense to say "Hey, I'm 
being stupid, take this with a grain of salt' or whatever.  I hope no one 
took offense at anything.

Anyway, about the constructive stuff.  Dave, here's what that prop does for 
you:

"Repeal Rule 6, __Game Definitions__"
Since the CFI(s) in question hasn't been judged yet, everything still 
exists.  This lets everything keep existing.  The rule doesn't really help 
much anyway, as different meanings of those words were intended by authors 
of different proposals.  This is the whole reason for the uber-prop; if we 
are going to standardize definitions, we need to bring the whole ruleset in 
line.

"If any changes to the charters of any societies were made between the 
submitting and and passing of this proposal, undo those changes and any 
results of them. [[I'm basically freezing societies from right when I submit 
it to when these safeguards take place]]"

You can ignore any future craziness

> Deactivate Rule 946, __B Nomic Stock Exchange__
> [[I think it's patched up, but nobody's using it pretty much, and I still 
> think it's a minefield.]]

It might cause problems, and you don't need another problem, do you?

> Deactivate Rule 1077, __Mining The Grid__
> [[This fixes the 'spend 70 BNS to destroy just about anything' problem']]

It doesn't 'un-mine' anything mined this nweek, so you still have to destroy 
the things (and in some cases, re-create them cause the rules say they 
always exist) mined this nweek.


> Repeal Rule 6, __Game Definitions__
> [[This gets rid of the 'everything must have uniquely identifying names' 
> problem; those definitions are flawed anyway, and by being #6 breaks the 
> rules about numbers.]]

Since the CFI(s) in question hasn't been judged yet, everything still 
exists.  This lets everything keep existing.  Rule 6 doesn't really help 
much anyway, as different meanings of those words were intended by authors 
of different proposals.  This is the whole reason for the uber-prop; if we 
are going to standardize definitions, we need to bring the whole ruleset in 
line.

Dave, if this passes, you can just ignore anything else done with societies 
for the rest of the nweek.

And you can ignore Wonko sucking the points and BNS out of everyone.  I'm 
pretty sure no-one besides Wonko wants to be in there.

> Remove all text in the charter of The Secret Mookies after and including 
> the first instance of "Members of The Secret Mookies named Wonko" in that

And you can ignore Wonko May Not Vote sucking the points and BNS out of 
Wonko.

> Create the following rule:
> {{__Bureaucracratic Deadlock__{*(Society), 6*}
> Society charters may not be changed, except by proposal or administarial 
> bookeeping .  This rule takes precedence over any rule that would allow 
> society charters to be changed by any other method than the two stated in 
> the previous sentence.  [[Repeal this once societies get fixed]]
> }}

This extends the 'no messing with societies' thing.  So until this rule gets 
repealed, that's one less headache for you.
