Announcement of arrival (Thelas)

I, Thelas, announce my arrival to BlogNomic as per rule 1.2, and wish to be added by an Admin to the roster in the sidebar and the GNDT, at which time I will become a Divinity.

I’m not sure… is it just that nobody’s bothered to register me yet, or is registration an action that is only completed when all proposals proposed before the registration end in either success or failure? Could someone please clarify this for me?

New players are added as soon as their request to join is noticed and processed by an admin, regardless of whatever else is going on in the game (unless some rule specifically prevents us from adding new players, but we generally won’t enact such a rule for obvious reasons). If it takes a while, it’s because all admins are busy or unavailable.

Adding you now. You’ll find your gndt password in your pm box.

Thanks, but you added me to the sidebar as ‘thales’, not ‘thelas’. Do I need to do that as a proposal, or is it just an error you can fix?

It’s just an error that’s easily fixable. Proposals are used to change the gamestate; anyone who can can correct inaccuracies in the way we track it, though. (For instance, if someone (presumably accidentally) puts incorrect values in the GNDT, that doesn’t actually change the gamestate; instead, we just change the GNDT to match.)

I only said that because I believe that name-changes need to be done as a proposal, so the question was whether that’s a name-change.

Oh, sorry about that. I was in a bit of a hurry when I added you, and might have been sent off course by the classical theme of this dynasty. I fixed it now, in any case.
