Proposal: [Core] Writing is not idle work

Timed out, 1-3. Failed by JonathanDark.

In rule 1.2.1 “Idle Storytellers,” replace “An Admin may render a Storyteller Idle if that Storyteller has asked to become Idle in an entry or comment from the past 96 hours (4 Days), or if that Storyteller has not posted an entry or comment in the past 168 Hours (7 days).” with:

An Admin may render a Storyteller Idle if that Storyteller has asked to become Idle in an entry or comment from the past 96 hours (4 Days). An Admin my also render a Storyteller Idle if that Storyteller has not posted an entry or comment or made a legal change to the gamestate tracking page for the current dynasty in the past 168 Hours (7 days).

A slight change to make sure an otherwise active player doesn’t get idled due to infrequent blog posting

“made a legal change to the gamestate tracking page for the current dynasty” sounds like a direct action, and there could be dynasties where the players don’t ever make changes to the gamestate page. There might even be some where the gamestate page is only ever updated infrequently by the Emperor, out of the players’ control.

I would replace that with “taken any dynastic actions (if the Publisher is not an Admin, they should let an Admin know when a Storyteller has not taken any dynastic actions within the allotted time)”

against It seems rare that a dynasty would have no proposals for 7 days, and players should be encouraged to vote on proposals.
