Call for Judgment: Because apparently there not being a rule prohibiting it means that it’s allowed.

In Core Rule 1.5 Enactment, immediately before the sentence, “Whenever an Admin marks a proposal as enacted or failed, he must also mark his name, and report the final tally of votes (or the fact that the proposal was self-killed or vetoed),” add the sentence, “Non-Admins may not enact or fail proposals.”

Hey Amni, remember that you have to explicitly vote on your own CfJ.
Amnistar:
whoops.

Actually you know what.
No. Forget I posted this.
This sets a horrible precidence. The rules clearly state the actions that are ALLOWED to be taken as part of the Blognomic game. If we start listing actions that aren’t allowed to be taken then we have to ensure that every contingency is covered, because if it’s not dissallowed, based on the very nature of the rules, then it’s obviouslly allowed. I’d prefer it the other way, if it’s not stated as allowed, it’s not allowed.

What about things that are legal but not mentioned in the ruleset, like making Story Posts? Nowhere does it explicitly say that people can make story posts (except to apply to be new citizens, I think), yet no one would argue that these are illegal.
Amnistar:
they also have no effect on the game, except where they are explicitly mentioned.
Qwazukee:
Hmm, so things are only prohibited by exclusion if they would effect the gamestate/ruleset?
Klisz:
From Rule 1.7 Gamestate Tracking:
“Any Member of the Staff may post to the blog at any time, but may only make official posts to the blog when the Ruleset allows it.”
Klisz:
Posted at the same time as Qwaz.

Wish I’d let this conversation take place before that DoV. . . .
Amnistar:
don’t worry about it Qwaz. We all make mistakes.

What about Rule 1.1?
Kevan:
“The Ruleset and Gamestate can only be altered in manners specified by the Ruleset.” - not meaning to be obscure, I thought someone had already quoted this in another relevant thread.
Klisz:
Yes, they have, about twenty million times, in Qwaz’s DoV.

Wait… why did I say CoV? I hadn’t voted before. Anyways, this would set a bad precedent if it where to pass
