Proposal: Blognomicer, Blognomicker, who cares?

Times out and fails 1-6. -Bucky

Add the following sentences to Rule 1.5 (Resolution of Proposals):

If a Proposal is made when “Blognomicker” and/or “Victorious Blognomicker” went by different terms, then all instances of the old term for “Blognomicker” in the Proposal will be changed to “Blognomicker” if the Proposal is enacted and all instances of the old term for “Victorious Blognomicker” in the proposal will be changed to “Victorious Blognomicker” if the Proposal is enacted.  This rule does not apply to any Proposal that attempts to change “Blognomicker” or “Victorious Blognomicker” to a different term.

My big concern about this proposal is that there is only one place in the ruleset now where it discusses the term change.  Under rule 1.9, “the words Voter and Returning Officer will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset” (this looks like it needs fixing).  This makes my proposal seem sort of vague due to its heavy use of the word “term”.

against because this either a) has no effect (if it doesn’t have retroactive application) or b) affects every proposal ever that uses the dynasty-appropriate terms for Player or Emperor.

against It’s fairly rare that there’ll be a core ruleset patch pending when a dynasty ends. (Replacing “throughout the entire ruleset” with “throughout the entire ruleset and pending proposals” would be a cleaner fix if we needed it.)
