That angry einstein is at it again, he wants to know what happens if his minions destroy the world using strangelets and black holes from the Large Hadron Collider

Create the following enemy group:

Name: Mad Physicists
Leader: Einstein’s brain in a vat
App. Number of Members: 7000
Weapon(s) of Choice: Large Hadron Collider, Complicated books, Dangerous prototype rayguns
HQ Location: Europe

If the Proposal titled “Give me guns” passes, change “Weapon(s) of Choice” in “Weapons” for each enemy group. And in the Dynastic rule ‘enemies’ change all instances of “Weapon(s) of choice” in “Weapons”.

â€œWeapon(s) of Choiceâ€ in â€œWeaponsâ€

Is this supposed to be â€œWeapon(s) of Choiceâ€ to â€œWeaponsâ€ ?

Do you mean ‘to’ instaid of ‘in’? In that case, yeah.

I’m a non-native english speaker. And I made a small mistake there. I don’t know if I’m allowed to edit the wording of the proposals after posting them. But I’ll assume that im allowed to and change it.

you’re not allowed to change the wording after there’s been a comment posted. voting just in case we decide to let this one slide.

I could of course, selfkill it, earn a goatee point (the Evil Schemes rule has an exploit), and repost it.

But I won’t.

Changed both “to"s to “in”, since the previous change was illegal. (I assume it was both.)

I say we let it slide, since it falls under the “obvious spelling and typographical mistakes” bit of 1.1 in spirit, despite it not strictly applying since this isn’t ruleset. Even if I’m out voted on that, it changes every instance of “Weapon(s) of Choice” in the nonexistant “Weapons” section to something unspecified. No effect.
