Humble pie |
My sincere apologies for abandoning the last dynasty, provoking its rather unsatisfactory conclusion. I’d had a week’s holiday booked for ages and knew I was going to be without internet access so am completely without excuse. |

I’ve forgotten the GNDT config editor password that somebody kindly sent me the other day. Please could somebody send it to me again. Sorry. |

Double Doh |
I’ve just noticed that the ruleset now contains the following (in R1.7). A non-official post may not, through editing of the blog or otherwise, be changed into an official post, with the following exception. Whilst a non-official post has been posted for less than five minutes and has no comments,… |

Lost proposal |
I’ve just spent ages crafting a proposal. I previewed it several times and eventually submitted it. However, it isn’t showing up anywhere. Can any of you clever admins get it back for me? |

Who broke it? |
When I got in this morning, enacted proposals didn’t have the tick icon next to them any more. I think this is because somebody changed the list of valid statuses to include Enacted instead of Passed but failed to update the stylesheet. I’ve fixed this by modifying the stylesheet as… |

Help |
I’ve just enacted a proposal that called for a new column in the GNDT but I’ve realised that I haven’t been given the necessary password. Please could somebody send it to me. Ta, Your conductor. |

Clean slate |
I think that at the start of a new dynasty, the new conductor should be able to modify the ruleset however e wishes. But, I suspect that some of you disagree. So, before I go to the bother of crafting a carefully worded proposal, I’m hoping that you might like… |

Ascension Address:
Ascension Address |
With Thelonious’ final tweak, the timeline began to unravel. Building momentum, the effects rippled further and further out from their origin in 1475 until they reached 2059 when, with a mighty bang the time bomb exploded. All was still. All was dark. Then, for each traveller, the sound of rushing… |

Tidy up |
Aran’s Heisenburg Loop effect is much messier than the rest of the ruleset. I’d like to fix that up - and I warrant that I haven’t changed the effect of the rule - just the spelling, punctuation and grammar. Remove all the subrules of “Temporal Uncertainty” and replace them as… |

I do miss Rose’s company so I range move to join her (1440/11/25). Feeling vulnerable we immediately march (1440/11/26). Finally, we are able to celebrate our re-union. Node event added at 1440/11/26, “Thelonious and Rose celebrate their reunion.”, [Thelonious] [Rose] [Reunion]. |

Wiki fiddling |
I’ve modified Template:NodeEvent and Timeline in an attempt to be able to get more of the timeline on the screen at once and thereby reduce scrolling. The only changes I’ve made are formatting changes. I haven’t modified the dates, descriptions or keywords of any of the node events, nor have… |

I Continuum Jumped (having not swirled yet in this set of actions) and then Continuum Swirled and then Time Marched (since I exist). I did all this so I could once again fix a lack of accreditation in the timeline. It was in fact me, Thelonious, who obscured Bucky’s view… |

Support for local proposals |
I was wondering about making a proposal that requires local proposals to have a FOR vote from at least 1 traveller other than the proposer (and meet all the other conditions) in order to pass. This would prevent proposals from passing just because nobody could get there to vote it… |

Hermits |
I can’t explain why, but I have a horrible feeling about Bucky’s two local proposals. E seems to by trying to seal off the areas around both eir TL and eir CTL so that nobody else can reach em. The most obvious use for such an area (around the TL)… |

Bucky’s idling scam |
So, whilst I was away on holiday, I see that Bucky attempted an idling scam and is now (quite rightly) failing to find an admin to unidle em. Despite being alerted to the scam, I don’t see how it works or what the benefit will be. If somebody explains the… |

Seeking formulae clarification |
I don’t fully understand the language in the first paragraph of R2.9. I think the following is legal (i.e. doesn’t fall foul of the transcendental or indeterminate exclusions) but could somebody clarify. t+(x/x)=t i.e. you could often increase time by 1 year (provided that x isn’t 0). |

Reverting Coldspell’s TL |
Coldspell, I’ve just reverted your TL because you updated it illegally. There’s no rule that allows you to update your TL according to a formula. What you need to do is update the variables according to a formula (middle of rule 2.9) and then update your position to the current… |

Proposals fail on DoV |
Modify the rule titled “Victory and Ascension” by adding the following paragraph at the end. When a DoV passes, all pending proposals immediately fail. Proposals failed in this way cannot be subsequently enacted under the rule titled “Enactment”. |

Spam proposals |
Whilst the proposals individually might “do nothing”, making 3 of them all at once means that Bucky can’t make any more proposals today (Rule 1.3). |

Time warp |
The timestamps on the GNDT are wrong. I’ve just made a whole load of updates for the first chant of 5th April. I made those updates at approx. 09:15 BST (08:15 GMT) but they show as being made at 01:18 BST. It’s important that these times are right, otherwise it… |

Ringing the bell |
I am ringing the bell because it makes a most wonderful musical accompaniment to all the chanting. (Since 2.12 isn’t in effect yet, night is either undefined or defined with reference to the normal meaning of the word night in the GMT timezone. Either way, it isn’t night.) |
