Proposal: Once an X, always an X
Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Replace text of the rule “Jobs” before the bulleted list with:
Each Colonist has a job, and several job titles, both of which are tracked in the GNDT. The default for both is “Peasant”.
A Colonist can earn a job title by performing the same task repeatedly, as specified below. As a daily action, each Colonist may change their job to any of the titles they have earned.
In the list below, “can become a(n) X” and “may become a(n) X” mean “may add X to their job titles”. Similarly, “A(n) X” means “Any Colonist whose job is X”.
In the bulleted list, change all instances of the phrase “in one week” to “in any single week”
Add “Job Titles” to the GNDT
I take up Keba’s challenge with this proposal. It basically implements what I believe the current semantics are, which I understand were probably an accident. The only difference is that I limit changing jobs to be daily.

Additionally, there is no default value for neither “Job” or “Job Titles”. That‘s messed up a bit.
But I like the general idea and would vote for it.

@Keba: The default for both “Job” and “Job Titles” is “Peasant”.
Yes, a single week is a period starting at midnight Monday and ending on the following Sunday, as defined in the rules. If Hix’s proposal passes, it’s clearly an entity reference.
It was my understanding that the problem was with the phrase “within the last X”, rather than “week”. What’s the point of explicitly defining a term if we can’t then use it to mean what was defined? If we go down that road, we might as well repeal the entire glossary.
Klisz:
@Keba: As Tiberias says, it’s “within the last X” that’s the problem, not “week”.

Ah, I am sorry at both points.

Purplebeard: Note it‘s the same like now. If you have ever fished three times a week, you will “met the criteria last week” every time then…
