Call for Judgment: [Core] The Emperor’s Really New Clothes

Reached quorum, 5-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 06 Feb 2025 18:32:00 UTC

Uphold all edits to the Ascension Address “The Book of the Board Game Island” made by Raven1207 between 06 Feb 2025 14:12:00 UTC and either 06 Feb 2025 18:12:00 UTC or the first performance of the Dynastic Reset action after 06 Feb 2025 14:12:00 UTC, whichever comes first.

In the rule “Victory and Ascension”, before the text “The Ascension Address should specify”, add the following text:

The Ascension Address may be altered by its author if it is less than 4 hours old and the Dynastic Reset action has not yet been performed since the initial posting of that Ascension Address.

The rules already state that any Participant may perform the Dynastic Reset after 4 hours, to give the new Emperor time to make changes to their AA, but it seems we may have forgotten to actually allow the Emperor to make those edits legally.

I am planning to vote FOR on this, and just holding off in case edits are needed. (I would probably prefer to fix it in the appendix rather than in the core rules, to reduce ruleset bloat, but any fix is good to get started.)

The thing is, the rule in the Appendix is already a little bloated with “or (if it is a Votable Matter) if all comments on it contain no voting icons” and the rest of the text “otherwise this can only be done as allowed by the Ruleset” suggests that permission should be granted in the places where it applies.

I’m happy to move this to the Appendix if it’s preferred to keep all related permissions in one place.

Another argument for putting it with the AA rules is that the Dynastic Reset is specific to the AA and needs to be the gating factor for determining when legal edits end if that action is performed sooner than 4 hours.

Right, this isn’t a case of either location being clearly better, and I’m fine with doing it either way.

Just for everyone else who doesn’t live on Discord, the consensus is that this CfJ looks good at this point, and it’s ok to vote on it, so please go ahead and do so.
