I request to be unidled
I request to be unidled.
I did not post this as a comment to Darknight’s post, because they said they would like to be unidled, but didn’t request to be.
You may argue that “unidle please” is a request, but rule 1.2.1 states that “An Idling Post is a post within which a Driver requests to be idled or unidled.”, and I’m not sure whether the title may be considered “within” the blog post.
Per rule 1.2.1, and because it is still valid, once I am unidled, my personal gamestate will retain its last values: Cash is 0, Routes are HiAi*Do*Go*Ro*Ai*Re$*Du*Ai!Ja*Ja*Hi!Ai*Ai*Ja*Hi!Ta!. Not that it matters.
However I would like to point out that, though per rule 1.7, ais523’s Ascension Address “may optionally specify that the terms Driver and Dispatcher will be replaced with theme-specific terms throughout the entire ruleset”, I don’t believe it may make me a theme-specific Player, and thus I believe I will stay the Driver I became when Josh “added [me] to the roster in the sidebar and the GNDT”, as per rule 1.2.
One last thing: we’re currently in Hiatus, per rule 1.7: “During this time, the only game actions that may be taken are those covered by Rules “Driversâ€, “Votable Mattersâ€, “Calls for Judgmentâ€, “Gamestate Tracking†and “Victory and Ascensionâ€. ”
Unidling is covered only by rule “Idle Drivers”. You may argue that a subrule is part of the rule it is a subrule to, but if that is the case I suggest this be added to the Appendix.
Rule 1.2.1 contains the text “For the purposes of the Ruleset, excluding Rules “Ruleset and Gamestateâ€, “Drivers†, “Dynastiesâ€, “Fair Playâ€and any of those Rules’ subrules, Idle Drivers are not counted as Drivers.”, which makes me think subrules are not part of the rule they are a subrule of.

I also assume that “be unidled” is the same as “unidle”. If it’s not, Comex, Bucky and Greytyphoon’s unidlings are illegal.
