Proposal 1549/0: Pseudocode (The Pusher Robot)
NO - Even if this passed, you would still get kicked in the ass every time you did it, because Pseudocode is inherently annoying to anyone who honestly couldn't give a damn about coding. I'd encourage you to declare this fatally flawed.

I don't really see how pseudocode is any more annoying than poetry or song form. If anything, it should be easier to understand. (Perl, on the other hand, I can understand, and I imagine I'll try and stay away from doing that again. After all, God speaks in Perl, so I'm not surprised that some mere mortals have difficulty with it ;-) ) Besides, you shouldn't worry, it'll fail anyway.

-Not all of us speak in code; I know what Java I picked up in a one-semester course, which isn't a lot, and that's it. At least songs and poems use real words. And don't tell me that "public void ThisProp()" is real words, or I will have to Kick you for unbridled hostility to my sanity. Hey, that should be on the LOGAS as well...-

ThisProp is not a real word; the rest looks real enough to me... :)

I think we should add "performing an action listed on the LOGAS" to the LOGAS.

Y'know, maybe we should assign LOGAS entries a 'severity' level, so that the worse a crime is, the harder you can be punished... so at level 1, other players can give you a kick in the ass; at level 2, say, up to three different players get to... at level 3, Dave can repossess a random Grid Object you possess, plus all the kicks from other players... at level 4, other players get Rocks of Pelting (or perhaps the Prong of Tickles :) to hit you with, etc.
