Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

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.

I’d prefer fewer Capitalized Words, and more with actual consequences.
Kevan: Oracle he/him
And if we’re building on top of something as subjective as “silly story logically foretells gamestate change, yes or no” then we should get the Astrologer to judge it, or something.

Your first point is sound, but also somewhat subjective - to what extent do players feel bound by a moral requrement? For Nomic’s players the traditional answer is: “not at all”, but it’s not the only possible mindset.
Regarding your second point, calls for judgment are there to solve that kind of problems (and also as emergency proposals, but I digress).

Ashamed of themselves has no consequence. Also, all the capitalization is making my head hurt, to be fair.

Maldor: your vote here has no effect, as the author of the proposal (I) has voted against it.

Maldor:
Sorry, I didn’t see that.
Ely:
No problem and no reason to feel sorry. It was just a nice opportunity for me to advertise BNscript. :)

And I’d like to use this to thank for the advertisment, as I have just installed the script! :-)
