Proposal: Deja Vu, Not Just a Movie Starring Denzel Washingon…

Reached a quorum, final vote 5-1 - Oze

Adminned at 28 Jun 2008 01:01:29 UTC

If the proposal “Trivial time again” fails, this proposal does nothing.

Create a new rule titled “Construction and Demolition” with the following text:

As a daily action, a DDA Member may either add one word or punctuation mark to the end of the rule “Space Girder” (called constructing) or remove the last word or punctuation mark from the rule “Space Girder” (called demolishing).  For the purposes of the rule “Space Girder”, only complete sentences (subject, verb, and ending punctuation) are valid sentences.  In any instances where the rule “Space Girder” would contradict any other rule (including this one), the rule “Space Girder” takes precedence.

A DDA Member may not construct if he has already constructed 4 times in the past week.

Let the craziness begin!

for Wording looks fine to me. The ‘may either’ means demolishing is covered by the ‘as a daily action’ subclause.

Ten awesome points to three people who team up and add “The timer’s 0.” =) (I might troll until this dynasty ends, but I’m not going to unidle just to make it end… that would be rude)

Actually, it would have to be 4 because of the period at the end.

Yoda:

27-06-2008 13:22:07 UTC

And Devenger is correct about the wording.

Rodlen:

Okay, but demolishing can be done 7 times a week.

Yoda:

27-06-2008 14:42:58 UTC

So can constructing, but you can only do one or the other each day.

The point rodlen is making is that unlike constructing, you can demolish 7 days a week, no problem.  There is no limit.

Yoda:

27-06-2008 15:16:04 UTC

You can construct 7 days a week, no problem, as well.  You just can’t construct and demolish in the same day.

Yoda:

The demolishing just gives us a chance to get rid of any really weird rules, such as “Proposals must alter other proposals.” or the like.

If you guys want creative way to use this

“A day is one minute.”—takes six people. Daily actions can be used every minute.

“No one can demolish. No one can post to the blog.”—and the game is broken!

“Clucky wins.”—...

Except that the glossary states that you cannot use a daily action “more than once every six hours”.  Hours would remain the same, only days would be affected.
