Dependent on The Weekly Prophet.
Create a new subrule of rule Prophecies, named “The Science of The Future” reading as follows:
The explanations contained in Fulfilled Prophecies are considered Sound.
If at the time of posting all the explanations in a new Prophecy are Sound, and if the event it foresees logically follows the explanations given, then that Prophecy can be posted as a Scientific Prophecy, tagging it as such.
Townspeople should do all they can to make Scientific Prophecies become fulfilled. Townspeople who don’t follow this rule should be Ashamed of Themselves.
Should the event foreseen in a Scientific Prophecy not take place before the first change of Season after the time of its posting, and if the Prophecy is less than 30 days old and is not Paradoxical or Fulfilled, then any Townsperson may and should Comment on it that “The Prophecy is Paradoxical”, thus making it a Paradoxical Prophecy. They shall then add a Plague and a Money to the Home of the Townsperson who made that Prophecy, because Paradoxes are cool but make people’s heads hurt.
I know this is pretty much like playing with fire, but the damage it can do should be limited.
yay morals in Blognomic!
