Proposal: Bus Patch

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 20 Nov 2007 06:37:27 UTC

If “No Room on the Bus” passes, then amend the subrule “Trades” so that it reads

Valkyries may transfer any of their Einherjar to any other Valkyrie by posting a story post that announces the transfers.  Transfers may be made conditional on another transfer being made (for example, Valkyrie “X” may announce “I transfer Einherjar “A” to Valkyrie “Y”, conditioned upon Valkyrie “Y” transferring Einherjar “B” and “C” to me.) An unconditional transfer is effective as soon as the transferee accepts the trade by voting FOR the transfer in the comments to the post that announces it; a conditional transfer is effective as soon as the transferee posts a story post that announces a trade that would, if effective, satisfy the condition.  That is to say, in the case of conditional transfers, no votes are necessary as long as the two story posts have reciprocal conditions.

though it might just be easier to have both sides of a reciprical trade occur if all Valkerie involved in the trade vote FOR it.

Does this work? The conditional offer taking effect when it sees a post “that would, if effective, satisfy the condition” seems flawed - if you say “I’ll give Einstein to Kevan on the condition that he gives Gandhi to me”, then I only have to make a post of “I give Gandhi to Spike on the condition that hell freezes over” to trigger it.

I think we can manage without conditionals - if somebody gets ripped off, everyone else will know about it.

Please note that if “No Room on the Bus” fails (which looks likely), this proposal will do nothing.

It’s failed now, if you want to self-kill this.

against The difficulty of scamproofing doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t bother.
