Note that the “The locked Room” Rule does nothing because of Rule 3.2.5 entitled “Names”:

“Within the ruleset, a word only refers to the name of a Citizen if it is explicitly stated that it refers to a Citizen’s name.”

Therefore the Rule would need to state something like “The Citizens with the following names have a Briefing Key.”

This Rule indeed works fine :) But I don’t understand why you remove a Rule using a Rule and not a direct “Remove Rule 2.6.2”. Because of the Treason Point?

Well, does midnight of August 7 mean “7th August 0:00 UTC” or “7th August 24:00 UTC”. Or does the Rule nothing because of “Abstract concepts of time (e.g. “dinnertime”, “twilight”) cannot be achieved until they fulfil one of these criteria.” (Rule 3.2.3) and the Rule does not mean anything?

I think saying “the following Citizens” is explicit enough that it’s referring to names.

Not sure what your last sentence means. “Any admin may repeal this rule” is referring to the rule itself; it’s just cleaning itself up, once “Report for Briefing” leaves the ruleset.

Ah ok, misunderstood that point, but still voting FOR.

According to the glossary, Aug. 7 00:00:00 is a valid time (Aug 7 starts on, and includes that time.) but Aug. 7 24:00:00 UTC isn’t, since the next day has already begun. So, when Aug. 7 starts, the rule activates.

Oh yeah, RoV,    for the flavor text.

Votes can be FOR, but EVC’s can’t, so this proposal won’t do anything.

No vote because voting against carries a consequence but voting FOR is bad because it’s broken.

CoV:
not proc, since Kevan still has a slot open, and I want to allow people to arrow if they so choose.
