Proposal: A couple of glossary and pending proposal changes

Adminned at 29 Oct 2011 11:27:36 UTC

In “Numbers and Variables”, create a bullet point directly above the last bullet point with the text, “If multiple numbers or game variables are to be randomly selected at once, they must be selected independently, unless otherwise stated.”

Create a new bullet point in “Numbers and Variables” with the text “Unless otherwise specified, when a rule states that a variable tracked in the GNDT is to be changed by a Player, the change is to be applied to the variable belonging to the Player making the change.”

If the rule “Downsizing” exists, in the second and third paragraph replace the first instances of the word “Proposal” with “Dynastic Proposal”.

If the rule “Dead Body Collection Service” exists, remove all numerical references to rules.

S-K. Not dead body collectable, as is the Oldest Pending Proposal. ~~Chronos Phaenon

Huh? What is the reasoning for this. The rules should never say “Player should change stat” it will say “Player should change THEIR stat” or “Player should change this guys stat”.

It’s simply so you can say “Player should spend 5 coins” (for example). With the way the rules currently are, you need to say “Player should spend 5 of their own coins” but I think the first way is a bit neater. I admit I’ve not worded the bullet point too well though.

against “remove all numerical references to rules” appears to have a broader scope than intended, and thus would break several Core Rules.

(correction: it would not break any Core Rules, but as written it also modifies stuff like pending proposals.)

May a proposal change a proposal?
MMh I guess so. Because this is also gamestate.

Then propose to change the section of the glossary that defines spend.
