Proposal: Christmas Break?

Cannot be enacted w/o CoV, final vote 1-7 -Darth

Repeal rule 1.11.

Change the following paragraph in rule 1.9:

Upon doing so, the game immediately goes into Hiatus, if it hasn’t already. During this time, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Rules “Mini Figures”, “Voting”, “Calls for Judgment”, “Gamestate Tracking” and “Victory and Ascension”.

A hiatus lasting 14 days or less may also be created by proposal.

It seems unfair to create a mandatory chrismas break for blognomic. It is, however, fair to allow a break to be created for times when most players are not playing.

Completely pointless/stating the obvious. Also the 14 day limit is doubly pointless.

against I don’t really see why it’s “unfair” to have a mandatory break in the winter quiet period. As the alt text on the Winterval proposal said, “BlogNomic does not formally observe any seasonal or religious holiday but can accommodate predictable downswings in activity.” I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with realistically acknowledging that the game slows down over the period and adjusting accordingly.

against Next year, if everyone wants to be super-active on the tail end of December, the rules can be changed accordingly.  But unless that happens, “Winterval” makes good sense.  (and might perhaps even be extended through 1st January…)

Hello, Winner, and welcome to BlogNomic! Unfortunately, you must make a blog post announcing your arrival and wait for an admin to activate you before you are become a player. (Otherwise we’d be up to our knees in spambots.)
