There is a publicly-tracked list of Sins. The names of Sins are flavour text, and must be chosen from the possible roll results of the EFF Wordlist.
To prevent pulling from anything but the list itself when making Sins.
This appears to be a duplicate proposal (of an earlier proposal that is also named “Careful word choice”) – the only difference is that the blockquotes are linked by “with” rather than “with the text”.
Josh is likely to label this as trash. Not a good idea to try to throw in near duplicate proposals.
Didn’t there used to be an issue with people accidentally submitting proposals by saving drafts, or something like that? It could be that.
Ah! Yup, I thought I exited out of that one and had to re-type it- when I checked the BlogNomic home page at the time, it wasn’t showing up, so I assumed I had deleted it. My apologies!
I just realised that the best fix for this situation is to arrow-withdraw the proposal, refunding the slot.
Actually no, that doesn’t work – if you arrow-withdraw you’re supposed to submit a corrected version, and we don’t need three copies of this proposal.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.

DoomedIdeas: he/him
For my ladder combo, I claim the word “in”, with a value of 3 from each of the 3 preceding proposals. “In” appears on the EFF Wordlist page in the banner denoting that the EFF Wordlist is gamestate.
