Proposal: Encouraging New Ideas, Again

S-K.—Chronos

Adminned at 12 Jan 2007 08:21:16 UTC

In the Rule entitled “Training”, replace the text:

  Any time a proposal passes, its author gains one training point.

with:

  Any time a proposal passes, its author gains one TP depending on the nature of how it passed:
*If it passes with zero against votes, e gains 5 TP.
*If it passes with one or two against votes, e gains 4 TP.
*If it passes by only one vote(and so the difference between the number of for votes and the number of against votes is one) e only gains 2 TP.
*Elsewise, e gains 3 TP.

Also, add the following text to the end of Rule 2.1:

  New Olympians start with 0 Medals of each type.

against Change “one TP” to “Some TP” and you have a FOR.  In the meantime, you can use Brownie Points to reward good proposals.

against (also, the conditions for 4TP and 2TP gains are not mutually exclusive)

Just FYI, I would be very wary of voting for something like this.  It will encourage new ideas, but it will also make it harder to pass them. 

This is becausem if a proposal is likely to pass, and i did not propose it, its against my better interests to vote for it, since by doing so, I give my oponents more tp, at no benefit to myself.

Thats a very un-teamlike attitude. The other olympian’s are still part of the Blognomic team. ANything that helps them hurts our rivals, so it a good thing.

Fair point, but im coming in late to the game with a reputation for cheating.  I need to catch up, or i’m just going to be dead weight anyway.

for because I need Clucky to stop hating me just because I’m beautiful.

People are not killing this because the dislike the idea, they are killing because it has some errors. =P against
