Proposal: [Building Blocks] Plotting In The Backrooms

Withdrawn. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 11 Jul 2025 08:17:12 UTC

In the rule “No Private Communication”, after the text “the Wordsmiths who were part of the conversation should make a post to the blog disclosing what information was discussed at their earliest convenience”, add the following text:

, including the details of what was discussed about dynastic gameplay or votable matters that affect the dynastic ruleset or gamestate

Please don’t take anything by the title. It’s just for fun. However, it seems to be important to clarify the level of detail required to be revealed.

The reason I think it’s important is that “No Private Communication” needs to have teeth, otherwise people will intentionally flaunt it knowing that they can get away with disclosing only vague generalities.

And to be clear, I don’t think Josh did anything intentionally. I’m very certain it was accidental. Nevertheless, it’s important to set expectations.

Honestly? I think Mentors should be able to talk about gamestate stuff; otherwise the mentee wouldn’t understand some of the logic esp. regarding voting and stuff; but I’ll propose another that amend mentors.

against This doesn’t work as intended; it has the same loophole as the existing text. If you want disclosures to contain a full transcript of the offending dialogue then it doesn’t make sense to dance around that.

double CoV arrow for the possibility of revision not costing a slot

Ok, if “the details of what was discussed” isn’t enough, I’ll withdraw and we can try something more explicit if necessary
