Re: Nomic 3
I Propose:
In the interest of charity, whenever a player casts one of the (up to 7) valid votes for or against a motion, they must specify another active player to nominate for promotion. Each of these nominations must contain a title and can be enacted by a different player seconding the nomination during the period between a proposals acceptance and the opening of the next round of voting. To avoid confusion the titles will be granted in an additional post by the judge following the start of a vote for a motion. Valid Titles must be chosen from This Article.
An active player is a player who has posted in the thread at least once.

No. It would mean that "No one" would have a point total. But how could "No one" earn points or win?aegis wrote:wouldn't that cause the game to end?
I think...
In the interest of world domination:
I propose that the second proposal posted from henceforth (in every proposal cycle), is automatically voted on, without need for nomination.
IE, either the first proposal gets nominated before a second one is made, or whoever suggests the second proposal is nominated automatically.
Re: Nomic 3
I nominate Ixoran's proposal.

Re: Nomic 3

A vote is in action. All proposals are now dead.
Motion 312: The second proposal posted from henceforth (in every proposal cycle), is automatically voted on, without need for nomination
Proposed by: Ixoran
Any poster may vote either for or against the current motion. If the motion passes it will become a rule. A player voting for a passed motion will
receive 10 points, a player voting against a failed motion will receive 10 points. The first side to reach 4 votes wins.
Re: Nomic 3
I believe the said proposal conflicts with the immutable rule:
# 106 - The first proposal that is valid and has been nominated at least once, the judge will make that proposal a motion and initiate a vote
That rule adds as condition that a proposal is nominated at least once before going to voting. The new suggested rule would require this immutable rule to be changed.
I vote no just in case.

Re: Nomic 3
I vote no, and I think manored is right (Apocalypse warning)!
Re: Nomic 3
I was going to disagree, but it seems I was mistaken on the exact wording, and yes, you could be right. If it had said simply "The first proposal that is valid and has been nominated at least once will be nominated by the judge and a vote initiated", then you could add additional ways to start a vote, but it seems to me with the way the clauses are arranged and the way 'that proposal' is used, that it specifies the condition to turn proposal into motion.manored wrote:# 106 - The first proposal that is valid and has been nominated at least once, the judge will make that proposal a motion and initiate a vote
That rule adds as condition that a proposal is nominated at least once before going to voting. The new suggested rule would require this immutable rule to be changed.
Nevertheless, the rule is not clear one way or the other, and the judge has implicitly ruled that this change is valid.
I vote no.

Current list of mutable rules:
- 201 - Every vote in which a player is on the victor's side (the vote the player issued was the same as the winning vote) that player shall receive 10 points and the player whose vote decides which is the victors side, will have the 10 points due him summarily denied

- 206 - All posts by a Judge must be in hot pink, color code #FF0080
- 207 - Proposals must contain rhyme
- 208 - To make the game a little more fun, every voting period a poster can have a valid vote numbering only at 1
- 209 - Swiftspear the rhymey, despite not being a player, has as of this post a score of -100 for interpreting rule 108 in a loose way so to exclude votes.
- 210 - if a player nominates a proposal then votes against it and it fails to pass, they gain 5 additional points and the original submitter of the proposal loses 5 points. (prop: aegis)
- 211 - When a proposal is nominated for vote, A second existing proposal of the nominating parties choosing may be included as part of the motion (such that the motion, should it be accepted, will bring two new rules or two separate addendum to a current rule or any combination thereof into play) (prop: SinbadEV)
- 212 - If a vote is initiated, all proposals are dead, all nominations are dead, old nominations must be created new at the end of the vote, new nominations may not be issued until the vote is complete
- 213 - to all judge's posts an image added, of a chicken, fried.(prop: nemppu)
We are back on proposal time.

Re: Nomic 3
I propose:
The player currently leading in victorious votes shall be given/the title of "numpty", and to liven/the game, this title must be always used/in reference to the player and at the end of his post, so he is abused.
(The /'s are to establish the rhyme and can be taken out for the proposal.)

Re: Nomic 3
I propose that all proposals must contain at least five words with the same initial consonant sound.
Re: Nomic 3
Since Deci's proposal is invalid (doesnt rhyme), I nominate Felix's proposal and include the line:
Posts by the 'numpty' and all uses of the word 'numpty' must be in baby blue, color code BFFFFF.

Re: Nomic 3
Since Sakoth's Nomination is Invalid I nominate Felix's proposal with My proposal attached by the power of 211.
Re: Nomic 3
How is it invalid? I added the extra line by the power of 211 (it only says 'existing proposal' not 'pre-existing'- it exists the moment i create it) and line rhymes with rhyme.SinbadEV wrote:Since Sakoth's Nomination is Invalid I nominate Felix's proposal with My proposal attached by the power of 211.
