Proposal: Calling in the Electrician

timed out. Fails 2-2—Clucky

Replace the following text in rule 2.2.4

If there is ever a Power Link from a Repaired Machine to a Broken Machine and that Link is not part of a Cycle, then any worker may make the Broken Machine Repaired and remove the Power Link.

with

If there is ever a Power Link from a Repaired Machine to a Broken Machine and that Link is not part of a Cycle, then any worker may make the Broken Machine Repaired.

 

Not a single machine has yet been operated. I hope this will make it at least a little more feasible to do it sooner.

against removing links is good. it helps prevent creating cycles as we try and power everything

So you don’t like operating stuff?

TBH I don’t understand why this proposal isn’t a shoe-in. Can someone explain it to me?

Accidental cycles really don’t seem like a problem right now, it’s hard enough forming *any* link as it is. On the other hand, I don’t know why we bother to have the Operations rule at all because its prohibitively difficult to use right now, which is really sad because it has so much potential.

I’m agreeing with you kops. Might as well repeal the operations rule if this fails.
