Ban Darth Cliche.

Really, can we please PLAY? This is getting beyond inane, we are starting to have an active dynasty which we have not had during 4 or 5 months. And then, when things start to look up, when we finally have players actually playing the game, DC, yuri, et al. come around and try to turn us back to the inane drivel that we have just crawled out of. And it has been like this since DC started playing.

It’s not the first time I’ve said this. You ignored me the first time, the second time, the third time, etc, etc. It keeps happening. It WILL keep happening. Don’t fool yourselves believing it will not. We have many wonderful players, but no one is required. DC is not one of the wonderful ones, he is a hindrance.

What did I do, anyway?

For now. (I know this doesn’t count)

Can you be a bit more specific than “turn us back to the inane drivel”? I’m only seeing one poorly-considered DoV.

Okay, and Darth deliberately reproposed a broken proposal, in order to use it as a “pick a winner” vote. But making a “pick a winner” proposal doesn’t seem particularly bannable.

Further, and I know that this has come up before, but do we have a ruleset basis upon which to “ban” people?

The Fair Play rule says that “a proposal or CfJ may be made to remove the perpetrator from the game, and bar them from rejoining”, but doesn’t use the word “ban”.

I don’t know if we’ve ever actually banned anyone, but I imagine the mechanic in practice would be proposing a new glossary rule of “Darth Cliche has been banned from BlogNomic and may not be unidled, nor return to the game under another name.”

Not ban-worthy IMO; playing around difficult players is part of the fun of nomic. (Interestingly, in most nomics, most players seem to agree who the difficult players are; in BlogNomic, it’s a lot less obvious.)
