[Zarpint <athena@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since you've misread several of my props, I wanted to explain.

1825: An 'available public display' is exactly what those words mean
in English. It has to display the required information and be publicly
available to all of us. If that stripper could provide the appropriate
information, and she were publicly available to all of us, she would
work. It's no different that any other English term used in the rules.

1826: Well this isn't mine. But what would stop you is:
1. The rules do not provide for the declaring of tampons,
and 2. once you declare it, it's not undeclared. Right now tampons
don't exist, so they are neither declared objects nor undeclared objects.

1827: This isn't mine either. But we would not go back to nweek 0, because
it is clear from the rule that only rules created that were changes to
the rules made by prop 1812 would be repealed.

1828: Rule 24 certainly did something to me. By putting the entire burden
of updating the Roster on the Admin, it caused the Roster to be out-of-date.

And I don't understand your objection here.
1. If at any point there is no Roster Minister, an election is immediately
held. Kurt Godel will enforce this.
2. Since the Admin may perform the duties of a Minister (625.A.2) we lose
nothing by allowing an additional person to help with this important job.
If we have a Roster Minister, and neither e nor Dave is updating the Roster,
we are still better off than if we don't have one, and Dave is not updating
the Roster.

1829: You do not have this straight at all. A player recognizes a Streamlined
Emergency by making ___or endorsing___ a Quick Fix. The idea is that in a
Streamlined Emergency, there will only be one or two of them - otherwise
it isn't effective to use the Procedure, and the regular one can be used.

Tampons and strippers...you really should change your philosophy to Carnal.
