Replace “Publish” with “Print” and “Publishes” with “Prints”, throughout the Dynastic Rules.
Per Coppro’s observation that “publish” is already being used in the appendix.
PS. That’s enough For votes on this for now unless someone votes against - we don’t want this enacting before it times out since that will break “The National Union of Journalists”.
[bateleur] Don’t worry, proposals pass in order (“The oldest pending Proposal may be enacted by any Admin…”) for exactly this reason.
Oh, OK. So in fact For votes exceeding quorum is almost never relevant since it only accelerates you once everything older has cleared the queue?
[bateleur] Reaching quorum is definitely the norm; I’d venture that proposals only time out about a fifth of the time. I think voters are just being a bit lax in their actual voting at the moment. I’m not sure why.
(Although I think “Proposal X”, “No, wait, self-kill, Proposal X+1” pairs tend to slow the queue a bit, because people - including myself - who vote on the first one forget to go back and vote again on the second, because it looks so familiar.)
@Kevan: Thanks for the hint, the next time I need to slow up the queue. (/me tries to work out if this is an argument in favour of fast veto or slow veto.)
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
