Proposal: Every Impend

Reached quorum 6 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Rename the rule “The Game” to “Tournament Rules of Giolitti”.

Make “Masks” a subrule of “Tournament Rules of Giolitti”.

Add a new rule, “Rule Updates”:-

The text of Impending Rules and all of its subrules are flavour text.

Votable Matters require the “[Tournament]” tag in order to make changes to the Tournament Rules of Giolitti rule and its subrules. If a proposal without the “[Tournament]” tag refers to the title of a subrule of the Tournament Rules of Giolitti, that reference is instead assumed to be to the equivalent subrule of Impending Rules.

If no Games are Active, any Player (or the Dealer) may, as an atomic action:
* Replace “Tournament Rules of Giolitti” (and its subrules) with a copy of the Impending Rules (and its subrules), but with the “Impending Rules” renamed to “Tournament Rules of Giolitti” in that copy.
* Remove the string ” (Impending)” from the names of all subrules of Tournament Rules of Giolitti.

If (ignoring the rule names) the Impending Rules are worded differently to the Tournament Rules of Giolitti (subrules included), then new Games may not be started.

Add a new rule after “Rule Updates” which is a copy of “Tournament Rules of Giolitti” (and its subrules), and call it “Impending Rules”.

Add ” (Impending)” to the names of all subrules of Impending Rules.

We should probably do something to stop the card game rules from changing under people’s feet mid-game: perhaps the version we’re working on is always a draft copy, and we only set it live when no games are running.

At what point do you stop new games from starting? As soon as a rule change is passed?

That would probably make a lot of sense, wouldn’t it? If the Impending Rules don’t match the Tournament Rules, we can’t start new games. I’ll have a go at adding that clause.
