The key word is “whenever”.

Whenever, in my opinion, means it has to be done WHEN the plot seed is posted.

Yes, but it says nothing about it having to happen right away.

Oops. I was still writing that when you posted.

You have a point, so

as per Rodlen.  As worded, you need to do the relationship change and the plot seed at the same time.

A small time difference is acceptable because of the time it takes for you to switch from the wiki to the GNDT, but 24 hours is unacceptable.

The “whenever” refers to activating my ability to change my relationship.

Whenever I seed the plot I am now able to spend bucks to change my relationship.

If “whenever” means a time period, it should be defined. Instead, your interpretation requires us to infer a time period. Is it an hour? Three hours? Five minutes?

Like I said, the common sense and reasonable reading is that you post a plot seed and then you “may” (are permitted to) change your relationship. There’s no reasonable basis on which to assume you have a time limit.

Whenever refers to the time the plot seed is made, in this case.

I agree with eljefe, but sadly this won’t do anything if it does pass.

“Whenever a Character other than the Narrator Seeds the Plot” is blatant proof that the plot seed is the time you have to change your relationship.

Disagree with Rodlen: If that was what was intender it should have read, “At the time a Character other than…” etc.

And eljefe, your for vote is not automatic like in proposals.

CoV

Why wouldn’t it do anything?

Because it doesn’t say, “If this CfJ passes,” perform some action.

Presumably, if this passes Rodlen won’t be able to unilaterally reverse my GNDT actions.

I’m going to reduce my bucks by 50 and lower my relationship by 1 if this vote persists.

Regarding Calls for Judgment:  “After this time, if more than half of the cast votes are in favour, the Gamestate and Ruleset shall be amended as was specified.”

Um, you didn’t specify any changes that ought to be made should this get enough votes.

to avoid weirdness.

CoV again   since HS has a point.

(What does CoV stand for, anyway? I’m guessing “change of vote”, but I’m not certain.)

Yep, change of vote.

You know, December 18 is going to come before this CfJ is resolved. <sarcasm>Maybe Yoda should veto it.</sarcasm>

I can’t veto a CfJ.

As the CfJ does nothing it really doesn’t matter, but whenever doesn’t specify “at the same time” it specifies “action that grants permission.”

“Whenever a Character other than the Narrator Seeds the Plot”

when this happens:

“that character may spend 50 Bucks to increase or decrease their Relationship by 1.”

character may do this.

Not within a certain period and, interestingly enough, not only once.  It would be completely legal for any character that has posted any plotseeds to bood their relationship by as much as they want by spending oodles of Bucks.
[edit]

@Yoda: That was why I put sarcasm tags.

CoV. I agree with Aminstar completely, but seeing that this CfJ does nothing, I rather have it failed so we can clear it off the queue.
