Declaration of Victory: I haven’t won but still

ILLEGAL, as he clearly doesn’t believe he’s achieved victory.

Ok, but who adminned this? - Qwaz
Agreed, by not placing your name on the administration you are, yourself, commiting an illegal act. - Amnistar
Indeed. This will turn into a long forum for admins! -Darth
It was me, sorry. I forgot my name. Although,, there’s nothing that says that a DoV needs the adminning admin’s name. That’s just for proposals -yuri_dragon_17
It’s just standard procedure in this case, yuri. No harm done. - Qwaz

The purpose of this DoV is to make the proposal “To Be Precise” useless. Since I haven’t done this with the only purpose of delaying the game (but rather, as an advantageous strategic move that allows one of my rules to go on unrepealed) this should not be a bannable offence.

against  and a vote for censure.  This DoV will not accomplish its stated purpose since the Monday morning maintenance can’t happen during Hiatus.

Also? A**hole tactic. That won’t even work. And I believe that the primary purpose IS to delay the game (so that the rule would not be repealed), so this IS bannable. I won’t try to ban you, but consider this a warning. against

against Dude we added that to the Fair Play Rules for exactly this reason. Ask Kevin if this is something that would be under the blanket of ban-worthy.

against Because, as you said, you didn’t win.

However, I think this is a valid strategy, should it work.  If the game is in haitus at the point of Monday maintenance, then when the game resumes, that time period will have passed, and we do not retroactively complete events that should happen during a haitus (such as prolonging proposals beyond the haitus time.

So this does, in fact, work.  It’s not actually delaying the game per se, it’s abusing a loophole in the game rules to continue to play it.

No, it is delaying the game plain and simple. It is abusing the core ruleset of blognomic and so should be frowned upon.

against I agree with Wakukee, the purpose of this IS to delay the game. I also agree with Bucky. It doesn’t work.

BTW, as Qwaz has voted on this it can be failed within 12hrs of its post time, there by making the whole f-ing thing moot. *is done grumbling over the matter*
