A few long-needed fixes

In rule 2.5 (“Lessons”), replace:

If a Student Brown Noses, they stand a chance of becoming Teacher’s Pet at the end of the lesson.

with

If a Student Brown Noses, they stand a chance of becoming Teacher’s Pet at the end of the lesson. A student can only Brown Nose if his current grade in the Lesson’s Subject is A+.

In rule 2.7 (“Library”) replace:

As a weekly action, a Student who is Alive may Study in the Library by incrementing their Grade in any one main Subject. As a weekly action, a student who is a Zombie may convert to Zombie status any other student who Studied in the Library in the previous 24 hours and is still Alive.

with

As a weekly action, a Student who is Alive and who is Free may Study in the Library by incrementing their Grade in any one main Subject. As a weekly action, a student who is a Zombie and who is Free may convert to Zombie status any other student who Studied in the Library in the previous 24 hours and is still Alive.

In rule 2.9 (“Explosive Language”) replace:

If the result is a 1, 2 or 3 then an accident occurs.

with

If the result is 3 or less then an accident occurs.

In rule 2.10 (“Prefects”) replace:

highest or second-highest combined total Spell Power in all subjects.

with

highest or second-highest combined total Spell Power in all subjects except UNE.

If more than half the EVC contain “That’s useless, dude.”, the rest of the proposal does nothing.
Rename rule 2.17 (“Keep yourself organized down there. Single file I said!”) to “Restrooms”.

I wanted to fix the “Ha! Your comment is this lesson is not valid, now it’s lost to you! N00b!” issue, but I couldn’t find just the words, and I didn’t want it to make this proposal fail. I’m only dealing with small issues here.

Not a proposal. Blast.

Oh, you could have edited it to put it into the category, provided that you noticed within fifteen minutes and nobody had commented. I’d sent you an email about it when I saw it.

“If no Student has commented on it, an official post may be altered or removed by its author; otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset. However, despite this, official posts can never be changed from one category to another, or changed to be a different sort of official post, if they have been posted for more than fifteen minutes.”

Maybe we should think about tweaking “no Student has commented” to make it a bit less awkward when someone forgets to select the category.

... I’ll know for the next time. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for trying to tell me!
