Proposal: Broader Bribery (1323/12/12)

Failed for not being legal. ~~Chronos.

Reword Bribery! (1323/12/12) so it reads:

A Traveller may occasionally raise the Influence of a Traveller other than eirself by 1 and then raise eir own Influence by 1 .

Note this is local to 1323/12/12

What was the reason for the veto of Grasshopper’s attempt to alter this rule by a normal proposal, by the way, Hix? Just a thematic decision that local rules should only be alterable by local proposals?

Yeah, Kevan, that’s what I gather. Hix?

Sorry I never got around to explaining that VETO.  No, I don’t necessarily think that Local Rules should only be alterable by Local Proposals.  However, I don’t want Travellers to start reasoning “I don’t have to put effort into time travelling to within Range of this Local Proposal.  I’ll just make a normal Proposal to get rid of what I don’t like.”  If there were a loophole in a Local Rule, or if a Traveller made some other argument about why it would make more sense for a certain Proposal to be non-Local, that would be okay.

In other news, this does not appear to be a legal Proposal under “No Traveller may make a Local Proposal with a Locale that is not in eir Range.”

You’re right, i’ve misread the year as 1423, which would be in range.
