Proposal: Disbelief your Suspensions (Dislexia With)

Timed out and failed, 7-4. Josh

Create a new rule called “Plot Holes”:

At any time while an act is in Development Hell, any Scripter that has not submitted a scene for that act may take the act out of Development Hell by Suspending Disbelief.
In order to Suspend Disbelief, that Scripter must spend 3 Royalties and create a Scene (even if rule 2.3 Continuity would prevent it) that meets all of the following requirements:

* The script of the scene must contain a dialog or punchline in which the current state of the preceding uncut scenes is explained in a manner that does not contradict earlier uncut scenes.
* The scene must not contain subliminal advertising.
* If a Prop is used on that scene, the name of the Prop must be part of the explanation.
* If Theme Music is used on that scene, the explanation must be part of the lyrics (songs without lyrics can’t be used).

If the Scene fails to meet any of these requirements, it becomes cut immediately.

Whenever a scene that Suspends Disbelief remains uncut at the time the act that contains it becomes Finished, a Plot Hole is created.

against I like it, but I fear this suffers from what Subliminal Advertising currently does - CfJitude as a result of ambiguity on what fufills the conditions, particularly the first one. Of course, it’s frustrating to have one player be the arbiter of such things, and voting is impractical… discuss?

against COV due to SubAd.
