Proposal: ESBN

Enacted 4-0. Josh

If the Bookie cast no vote on this proposal, or voted AGAINST it, it has no further effect.

In “Form Sheet”, replace “detailing all sporting events that have taken place that have not appeared in a previous Results Post, and any results that may be associated with those events” with:-

detailing all sporting events that have taken place that have not appeared in a previous Results Post, including any results that may be associated with those events, and summarising all random choices that were made as part of determining those events’ results (excluding Meddlings)

Not sure how plausible this is for the mighty spreadsheet that I assume the Bookie is running, but if it makes any sense it’d be good to get televised blow-by-blow coverage of each match rather than a plain “X beat Y” teleprinter outcome. Punters will be able to get a feel for each sport and how close its matches might have been, and can possibly deduce whether or not any Meddlings happened.

I was going to propose something like this, but I couldnt figure out the wording either :)

I definitely like the blow-by-blow coverage, but if that’s the case, is the purpose of “secretly randomly” only to avoid using the Dice Roller, since the selections won’t really be secret for very long?

Yes, it’s to give the Bookie the freedom to run a spreadsheet or quickly chuck a few dice, instead of laboriously typing every step into the Dice Roller and reading it back out again. Particularly for things like “deal each Participating Participant 7 cards from a standard 52 card deck”, which would be possible but horrible with the Dice Roller.
