Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: For Landowners and Barons

[Tyler <wisety@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you going to set the initial number of a new player's mackerel to 500
too? I'm against this proposal because it violates the proper practice of
kindness and welcoming to newcomers. Not to mention the fact that it makes
holding on to points a lot less useful. Oh, and as long as I'm not
mentioning things, I'll not mention the fact that it goes completely against
the principles of Democracy! Oh, and what about socks! You forget that some
people have most of their wealth stored in the Sock Corporations! I'm making
a point not to mention that. To make sure I didn't miss not mentioning
something, delete this email upon arrival.

If the people of B Nomic are what I think they are, and there aren't too
many traitors among us, this will never pass. (In fact, I'm shocked you
would even propose it!)
