Rules clarification

02-09-2005 00:21

Just a short note.

You can propose amendments to existing rules. Rule 5 for instance could be changed to include a time limit.

You cannot propose changes to proposals, because they are not rules. You can propose that if a proposal is accepted, it is changed.

I propose an immediate reward of 50 points to Devlin Gallant thus ensuring a winning player, and immediately ending the game.

Sorry,

You can only make proposals to change the rules. So Devlin and Lance's proposals are invalid.

You could propose that a new rule is created to give you 50 points. But the proposal to make the first to reach 50 points the winner has not been accepted yet. Until that happens, it doesnt matter how many points you have, you can't win.

In order to play the game, God must personaly declare themselves to be a player by posting in this forum. No proxy voting, unless a rule is voted in that allows it.

Welcome to our new players:

Willow,
I need more detail of which rule you want to change.

Eggy,
I'll take your proposal to be for a new rule stating thate Willow is your sex slave. Do you want to propose the exact wording?

I vote yes to Eggy's proposal.

Proposals are starting to build up now, it would help if people voter on some of them.

proposal

02-09-2005 04:04

I propose a new rule.
That upon any acceptance of proposals of a 'sex slave', said slave must be entered into the public domain, thus ensuring equal access to said 'sex slave' for all posters.

Vote no, since I may wish to break an undisclosed rule at some undisclosed time in the future, or past.

Sorry Siobhan,

Its the proposals that need voting on, not the rules. Scroll back till you find my last state of play message, that list all the current proposals and the current voting results.

I'll do another proper update when I get home tonight.

I propose that someone explain what the hell is going on here? I read the whole thread.. god knows why... and I'm none the wiser now than I was before I started. Possibly more confused, though.

To summarise: WTF?

like, WTF does any of this mean? WTF is the point? WTF are you people on?

*stares blankly at the website*

Ok. I propose a change to my previous proposal. Instead of WTF? I would like to know instead: Why?

Is it for fun? and if so, what's fun about it?

I... don't get it. Unless I'm missing something, like, say, the whole point then it seems stupid beyond words!
