In the rule entitled Evolution, change the text

A lifeform’s creature name is, by default, the name of the lifeform. A lifeform may often change eir creature name provided no other lifeform current has that creature name.

to read

A lifeform’s creature name is, by default, the name of the lifeform. A lifeform may often change eir creature name provided no other lifeform currently has the creature name e wishes to change to.

Reposting this again as trivial, since I don’t think this restriction should be removed entirely as per Chronos’ proposal…

Oops, forgot a clause to make sure Chronos’ rule didn’t pass… Ah well, it doesn’t really matter. It will still either just work or not work depending on whether or not his passes :P

I consider a strategic vote to be a vote cast not based on whether you want the proposal to pass, but on the side-effects. I don’t think the side-effects need to be obviously beneficial to me per se. In this case, I’d rather fewer DNA get added all around than more, so since I thought it was going to pass anyway, I voted against.

If you want fewer DNA to be passed around, the most strategic action would be not to vote.  Every vote, for or against, adds 1 to the DNA that creatures get from a trivial proposal.

I am sure the idea of an abstain vote has come up before and not been passed for some reason or another—but it might actually work in this dynasty.

You’re right, Axeling, I should have not voted. I was misreading the Trivial thing. I guess there’s no way to withdraw it, so COV: \:FOR:. Oh well. :-)
