Proposal: A proposal. full of sin

Failed, 1-4. Josh

Adminned at 02 Apr 2025 09:35:21 UTC

Add a new subrule “Sinful Proposals” to “Actions”, placing it immediately after “Ladder Combo”:

The author of a proposal that was enacted within the previous 48 hours may spend 1 Disc to increase that author’s Equity by the number of Sins that appeared as words in that proposal minus 4. This action cannot be performed twice for the same proposal.

I wanted to make the Sins list matter more (currently its only purpose is blocking Ladder Combos). This mechanic should hopefully be safe now that we’ve fixed the bug that allows the addition of arbitrary Sins via EVC. The “enacted” here is to stop people overtly filling proposals full of Sins in order to make a profit – if you’re going to fill your proposal with Sins you only get a profit if it’s still good enough to enact (despite the potential risk of other Nomicers voting it down to deny the reward).

Ugh – typo in the title (the period is meant to be a comma). Does anyone know whether those can legally be fixed or not? As far as I can tell, the legality depends on whether it’s “in” the pending votable matter or outside it, which I’m not sure of.

against Since we have entered Lacuna, the proposed action will not be able to be performed, and as such I see no reason to add it.
