Proposal: Helpful Helpers who Help

Times out 8-1. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 23 Jan 2022 15:41:59 UTC

Remove “Increase the Options of each member of their Team according the Incentive Formula.” everywhere it appears in the ruleset

In “Boring Box Company” after “A Weekday Action is a daily action which may only be performed on a weekday.” add “The first time an Employee performs a Weekday action on a given day, Increase the Options of each member of their Team according the Incentive Formula”

not sure why some actions reward options but others don’t

Actually, the wording seems ambiguous, like this might only happen once in the whole company. Suggesting “The first time a given Employee…”

for I think we can still vote this through, then vote https://blognomic.com/archive/fixing_my_mistake through to make the fix I suggested, and there shouldn’t be timing issues. (Though it might make more sense just to put the whole thing in your proposal, lemon.)

against RnD have access to more opportunity to gain options than anyone else

@Josh, doesn’t this proposal make it so you can’t gain options for more than one action per day? If not, I might have to CoV.

It’s ambiguous! The same ambiguity, really - does “performs a Weekday action on a given day” mean any action or each action?

If it was each action it would say “given weekday action” not “weekday action”

That would be clearer, certainly, but does not remove the ambiguity in the current wording.

I see where you’re coming from, though I feel like this is a weaker ambiguity case than the first. If you want to remove the supposed ambiguity in this proposal, you could change “a Weekday action” to “any Weekday action”, but, given that Weekday actions are already once per day, I feel like the word ‘first’ is already suggesting that reading.

Fair enough.

I’m not convinced so I’ll hold my vote as is, but I also don’t have a slot to propose a fix of my own.
