[spoon-discuss] p1833 |
Now it's too late for coffee, I would like to make this observation. Since no-one has disagreed with me about this (yet), I'm submitting this as a comment, not a CFJ. At the end of an nweek, a proposal that passes takes effect before a player's activity is adjusted in accordance with eir voting action. When p1833 takes effect, The Pusher Robot will be inactive and so not eligible to win. The attempt to grant a win to all members of UNSEEN will therefore fail. Analysis: r154 states: A Player's Activity increases by one at the end of an nweek if e voted on that nweek's Ballot... r23 states: The third Checking period of each nweek is the Voting Period of that nweek. At the beginning of a Voting Period, a Concealable Imperial Poll with a Duration lasting 'til the end of the Voting Period is called on every proposal issued since the beginning of the previous Voting Period... r15 states: When the Duration of the Poll Concludes, the Issue is resolved. The Issue is said to have Passed if more Yes votes than No votes were cast on the Poll; otherwise, it Fails. r19 states: When a proposal Passes, the gamestate changes listed within it are made. r1813 states: When multiple rules specify that an event takes place at a certain time [[ i.e. "at the beginning of an nweek" ]], those events occur in order of rule precedence. r23 has a lower number than r154, and so takes precedence, therefore the poll ends before players' activity is adjusted. r15 has a lower number than r154, therefore the prop passes before players' activity is adjusted. r19 has a higher chutzpah than r154, therefore the prop takes effect before players' activity is adjusted.
