Proposal: Cliche Ranking

Timed out with quorum of against -Darknight

Adminned at 13 Feb 2009 20:41:39 UTC

Make a new rule, “Ranks”:

Each Soldier has a Rank, tracked in the GNDT. Some Ranks have prerequisites, and if a Soldier meets the prerequisites for a Rank, they may change their Rank to any Rank they meet the prerequisites for. The following are valid Ranks:

*General
*Private: The Soldier does not met the prerequisites for any Rank other than Private.

Set all Soldiers’ Ranks to Private. Set Amnistar’s rank to General.

If at least half of all comments containing counted votes on this proposal also contain the text “Onward to victory”, add the following to the end of rule “Ranks”:

If a Soldier (other than the General)‘s Rank is General, they achieve victory.

Plus the usual reluctance to vote for a proposal that waves through a second proposal that would only require a quarter of players to be in favour of it.

against. Arguably, this would lead to an instant victory scam; given that General has no prerequisites, by the standard definition of “prerequisites” a player meets the prerequisites for it, even if they don’t have any. So when a new rank is added that does have prerequisites, a player meets the prerequisites for some rank they have the prerequisites for, so they can change their rank to General and win. (At the moment, meeting the nonexistent prereqs for General means players don’t meet the prereqs for Private…)

I’m okay with the general idea, I’d rather there be a requirement to be a general from the begning though.
