Proposal: Golden Bolts

Timed out, 5-1 with 1 DEF and both Masterminds voting FOR. Enacted by JonathanDark.

If the CFJ “Form and Formatability” is still pending, fail it.
If the CFJ “Fixing form for wiki misinterpretation” is still pending, fail it.

Amend “The Bank {M}” to read as follows:

All text in this rule, other than this sentence and its punctuation, is flavour text, and each word in it is additionally considered to be a valid English word $$.

Amend “Bolted to the Ground {M}” to read as follows:

Dynastic actions cannot modify sentences in the Ruleset that contain dollar signs, except by removing one or more dollar signs $$$.

In “Tools of the Trade {M}”, change “curly brackets” (or whatever sequence of characters “curly brackets” was edited into by dynastic actions) to “dollar signs”.

Changing the Bolted to the Ground mechanic into something that has similar balance properties, but is easier to define and track. This is a proposal rather than a CFJ due to being a reworking of the mechanic.

I’m a bit sad to see this - to me part of the appeal of the prior iteration was its jankiness (protected sentences in the same rule might interact with each other after some brackets are removed, and the “debris” left behind by broken protection is interesting). I considered doing it like this but decided on the curly brackets to give it a bit more personality. I’d prefer the resolution in “Fixing form for wiki misinterpretation” but will vote for this if that fails to fix the template issue.

I liked the janky version too but it’s proving very hard to make it work in the rules, so I think we at least need a simple alternative so that there is an alternative.
