Add the following to the end of Rule 2.5.1 “Basic Spells”:
The spell Melting Pot has “SOUP” as its Activation Sequence. Its Effect is “Choose two Apprentices. They Become Partners.”
Fail any pending proposals, other than this one, which would create a Spell with “SOUP” as an Activation Sequence.
Phew… added the clause at the bottom so that if this passes, NOI’s next proposal will autofail.
Comments
NoOneImportant:
See, the problem I have with your wording is that it doesn’t explicitly deal with the former partners. If I choose Darth Cliche and Hix… who is Darknight’s partner?
NoOneImportant:
Oh wait… is that actually covered in 2.8? I may be reading it wrong.
Qwazukee:
Hix:
(In other words, you don’t account for the fact that the previous proposal might pass. However unlikely that may be, you’re still improperly assuming)
NoOneImportant:
I still think mine is better, as I cover more eventualities (such as making an Apprentice their own partner).
Klisz:
@Hix: If that passes, I’ll self-kill this.
Hix:
(Good luck with that; the timestamps are less than 2 minutes apart)

Wakukee:
You realize that there are phrases, which are even simplified in buttons by the italics and bold buttons, which deal with the “if one proposal passes, then this will be useless…” problem? Use them!
Klisz:
@Wak: I started writing this proposal before the other one was posted.
Darknight:
Klisz:
Hm. It only just now occurred to me that yesterday UTC (earlier today in my time zone) was the first anniversary of my joining.
NoOneImportant:
Come on Darth… how about in celebration of your 1st anniversary, you self-kill this proposal. ;)
Klisz:
Oh, ha ha ha. That is so very amusing indeed.
This sentence is definitely not sarcasm…
Josh:
Heh, thinking about it - my sixth anniversary of BlogNomicing passed about a fortnight ago.
Darknight:
Two yrs and a month(or two i forget) for me
Josh:
NoOneImportant:
Never let it be said I’m not a team player… not that there are any teams… well, except for the new buddy system.
Klisz:
@NoOneImportant: No official teams.
...not to imply that there could be any unofficial teams. That’s just ridiculous…
...there is no cabal…
There is no DDA! Anything anyone else tells you about this so-called “DDA” is a lie! A dirty rotten lie!
NoOneImportant:
As it’s been open for more than 48 hours, I request Enactment for the Proposal.
Wakukee:
You need not “make requests” for adminning. The admins will get to it when they see it, and if they are looking at that comments, then they know it needs to be adminned. It would be much more helpful to simply post he vote count to help the admin enacting the proposal.
