Proposal: I’m so tired of all this learning

Fails 4-7. — Quirck

Adminned at 16 Sep 2012 02:54:39 UTC

Add a new rule, “The Break”:

At any time on Saturday or Sunday the Professor may make a Bell Post. On Monday, if the Class is not on Detention, anybody may make a Bell Post. Anyway a Bell Post can be made only if no such post has been made in the last three days. A Bell Post is a Story Post containing “BELL” in the title, and any onomatopoeic word the Author may consider fitting to represent a ringing bell should be included in its body text. A Bell Post is considered Open if there is not a Back to Classroom Comment (acronym: BCC) on it. A BCC is a Comment to a Bell Post only containing the words “Back to classroom”. The Professor may make a BCC on any Bell Post, and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays anybody can make a BCC to an Open Bell Post. Anyway, BCC’s can only be made on Bell Posts that are older than 48 hours. An Open Bell Post should be kept sticky.
If a Bell Post is Open, the Class is known to be having a Break.

I made this very messy because I wanted to avoid timing scams.
I’m going to define Class with my next Proposal, but not Detention.

Every weekend there’s the Break. That’s all. We can make some actions Break-only, my idea is an Achievement-oriented game in the week, and during the Break the children get a bit wild, mobbing and stuff (I’ve played a prisoneer dilemma like flash game about children bullism once it would be cool to try something like that)

not sure I see the point… weekends already tend to be pretty light around here against

Ok,  arrow  for desegnated weekend and weekday actions, but against  for being overly complex.

This is not to lighten the weekend, but to add a weekly event during which you may do different things than usual. I thought the actions could be made by commenting on the Bell Post, but I prefer not making big “closed” proposals that define everything about a mechanic, so I rather posted the skeleton to see if anybody wanted to take it and add some meat.

I do think it’s a good “skelly”.
