Proposal: Obligatory Location Proposal

Self-killed. -Elias IX

Adminned at 05 Mar 2006 07:08:09 UTC

If the Proposal titled “Let’s have a grand old metadynastic time failed”, replace all instances of “Gostak” in this proposal with “Swashbuckler”.

Create a rule, named Location:

“Gostaks shall always be at one of the locations listed in this rule. This will be tracked in a GNDT column “location”. Currently, Gostaks may not move to another location. New Gostaks start in The Edge. The following locations are present:

The Roof: The roof is on fire.

The Future: The future can be sold. The future may not be sold until a rule exists which specifically allows Gostaks to buy the future, at which point this sentence is deleted.

A Long and Lonesome Road: Beware of shiny demons.

The Edge: This is where all Gostaks live. All Gostaks are assumed to own a house on The Edge.

Moo-Moo: Moo-Moo is a cow.

Move all Gostaks to The Edge.

Just checking interest for the return of locations. I’m tired of the traditional manners of movement, so I’d like to see some offbeat means of transportation. As you can probably guess from the locations in this proposal, though, the muses refuse to grant me the inspiration to think of anything right now.

By the way, first one to name all references gets a cookie as soon as a proposal passes allowing me to do so. Furthermore, I retain all rights to regret posting this when I retain my sanity.

for Gostak has been talked about at length.  the roof bit is from a song.  I dunno about the future.  The long and lonesome road is a song—Beatles maybe?  Moo-Moo is a webcomic, according to Google.  I dunno the other.

Location is just another field, really.

Since there is no proposal named “Let’s have a grand old metadynastic time failed”, this proposal does nothing.

I’m interpreting as follows:

If this proposal gave something the title of “Let’s have a grand old metadynastic time failed”, then replace all instances of “Gostak” with “Swashbuckler”.

Since it didn’t, then everything’s fine.

Whoops, my bad. You’re right, that only applies to the first part.

Bandwagon. Actually, we should do something different for a change of pace.

Yours is way better. By the way, here are the random references I threw in:

‘The roof is on fire’: Fire Water Burn (by the Bloodhound Gang, but originally by some other band if I’m not mistaken)
‘The future’s been sold’: Blur’s ‘Universal’
‘A long and lonesome road’: Tenacious D’s ‘Tribute’
Owning houses on the Edge: Aerosmith’s ‘Living on the edge’

I guess I’m keeping that cookie, then.

Gah.  The Beatles had a long and WINDING road.
