Proposal: Did someone call Shenanigans?
If https://blognomic.com/archive/what_happened_last_night1 passes, this proposal does nothing.
Add a new rule called “Shenanigan Detection” and give it the following text
The Agents named JonathanDark, Darknight, qenya and Clucky should each at their earliest convivence, privately communicate with the Concierge either a claim of “Shenanigans” or “No Shenanigans”.
Once all four Agents have done so, the Concierge should once time perform a “Shenanigan Resolution” which is an atomic action consisting of the following steps
- If at least one of the Agents listed above (JonathanDark, Darknight, qenya or Clucky) claimed “No Shenanigans” make a post to the blog indicating that the no Shenanigans were detected
- If instead all four agents listed above (JonathanDark, Darknight, qenya and Clucky) claimed “Shenanigans”, make a post to the blog indicating that Shenanigans were detected and list the following information that was privately tracked by the Concierge for each of those Agents at the time that the most recent Breaking In was performed:
* That Agent’s complete Route
* That Agent’s Groundwork, if it was non-blank
* That Agent’s Skill and FlawUntil a Shenanigan Resolution resolution has been posted, the Phase is always Setting Patrols and the Concierge may not perform the Patrol Assessment action
What we know is, that under multiple people’s interpretation of the rules, my, qenya, JonathanDark and Darknight’s actions should not have resulted in Darknight being encountered.
This puts two options on the table—one of us isn’t being honest, or Kevan’s interpretation of the rules doesn’t line up with our interpretation of the rules. This allows us each formally to secretly declare to Kevan that we’re being honest. If we all tell Kevan we’re being honest, he has to post everything and we can then figure out why his interpretation of the rules doesn’t line up with ours. If one of us bails, indicates that even if there are some discrepancies around how Kevan is interpreting the rules, the overall result probably wouldn’t have changed and we can just play on.
