Proposal: Gamefield

Passed 12-1, reaches quorum. Enacted by Angry Grasshopper.

Adminned at 16 Dec 2005 13:37:10 UTC

If there is not a Locations rule, this Proposal does nothing.


Change all instances of “should” in the Locations rule into “shall”. Delete any instance of “please” in the Locations rule. From that same rule, delete “The use of these lists will, hopefully, be defined in later rules.”


If 75th Trombone’s vote on this proposal doesn’t contain the expression “No Ball Game”, create a Location called “The Game Field” reading:

Maximum Occupancy: Infinite
Exits: None.
Description:The [[Game Field]] is an open expanse of grassland on which a Ball Game is played. It is represented as a bi-dimensional grid of mono-spaced characters, followed by a Key. Players of the Ball Game, objects there present or any other ocurrence of things are represented on the Game Field by single printable characters which shall be defined in that page’s Key. The rules of the Ball Game to be played in the Game Field shall be defined in this Ruleset in a Rule other than Locations


If “The Game Field” was created, revert any modification done to the Wiki Page currently named Proposed Game Field by any Protagonist after its creation and rename it to “Game Field” .

Will vote after 75th votes, although it will be annoying that e may change what I am voting for/against _after_ I vote.

Interesting, using the Wiki link to define exactly where The Game Field is, rather than explicit Rule text.  Works for me, though.

Be forewarned that I’ll lean strongly toward vetoing any Proposal that makes a Ball Game too significant a part of winning the Dynasty.  I don’t want a game-in-the-game—- with its own little Ruleset—- to be the important thing.

On the other hand, if things develop so that it’s really cool and not lame for the Ball Game to be important, then go right ahead.  :)
