Proposal: Bathroom Remodeling

Passes 10-0. DK

Adminned at 21 Nov 2010 16:07:52 UTC

Rename the rule “Keep yourself organized down there. Single file I said!” to “Lavatory Studies” and reword it as follows:

As a weekly action, if a Student is Free, they may lock themselves in a lavatory stall and experiment with advanced magic.  This is done by posting a comment in the GNDT in the form “Lavatory for [SUBJECT]: DICE6”, where [SUBJECT] is any of the legal academic Subjects.  Depending on the result of that die roll, the effects are as follows:

  • On a 1-4, the Student may increment their grade in that Subject by one.
  • On a 5, nothing happens.
  • On a 6, the Student has made a hideous mistake. If they are Alive or Zombie, they must set their Condition to Ghost; if they are a Ghost, they must set their grade in the attempted Subject to F.

If the proposal “A bunch of long-needed fixes” passed and renamed Rule 2.17, apply all of the above to the rule called “Restrooms” instead.

I considered adding a provision for Students to turn each other in to the Prefects upon getting caught within a certain time limit, but I think a 1-in-6 chance of disaster is a decent balance for the moment.

You said that “Need the Washroom” [d]uplicates the effect of studying with a much looser and dice-heavier set of rules.  If you want a lesson in a particular subject, change your faculty supervisor if necessary and put in a request. Why is this better?

Josh: this one is much smaller and tighter, doesn’t create any new spells outside the spell rule, allows you to bump a grade without worrying about what’s written on the wall, and doesn’t have vague floaty interactions with candy.

Also, if everybody tries this, it should kill at least three of you a week, which I strongly endorse.
