Proposal: A to Z

Reaches quorum (12-1) -Ornithopter

Adminned at 16 Nov 2011 17:22:51 UTC

In the rule “Routes”, replace “These are listed as an ordered list on the wiki page ‘Routes’.” with:-

A Driver’s Routes are listed in order in their GNDT column ‘Routes’, with each Route represented by the first letter of its name and an optional punctuation mark.

Replace “If a Driver’s pool is exactly the default, then their pool need not be listed on the wiki page.” with:-

If a Driver’s pool is exactly the default, then their pool may be represented by a single hyphen.

Given that we’re already talking about routes in terms of “ADDDA” letter codes, maybe we don’t need to use the wiki after all. Having to switch between the GNDT and a wiki page to see the gamestate and play the game seems a bit much.

Less significantly, it pleases me that all current route letters can be typed with the left section of the middle keyboard row.

for I was thinking about proposing this myself a while back, but then I was out of slots, and then I forgot.

against Because it limits us to 26 routes and furthermore limits us to one route of each starting letter.

@Clucky: Why do you think there are going to be enough route-creating proposals that we’ll reach 26 routes, and that nobody will think to create a proposal to expand the limit when we get near it? Also, 26 seems like quite a nicely-sized natural limit for routes.
