Proposal: Melt Down

Self-killed.—Kevan

Adminned at 21 Aug 2006 22:23:07 UTC

change rule 2.6.1:

2.6.1 Temporal Uncertainty
Some Travellers may be in one or more Heisenberg Loops, denoted by one asterisk per Loop after eir Influence in the GNDT.

when a Traveller is in one loop e is “out of time”.
when a Traveller is in two loops e is a “rellevarT lamron”.
when a Traveller is in three loops (or more) e has a “melt down”.

2.6.1.1 out of time
when a Traveller is “out of time”:
1)e can not preform “Marching Time”.
2)local proposals have no effect on em.
3)e can not change, create or remove Node Events.
4)e can not vote on local proposals.

2.6.1.2 rellevarT lamron
when a Traveller is a “rellevarT lamron”:
1)upon preforming “Marching Time”, e will move one day backwards instead of one day forward.
2)arrow of time reversed: e is known as rellevarT. see below
3)when posting or commenting, e will write backwords.
example: .sdroekcab etirw lliw e ,gnitnemmoc ro gnitsop nehw(3
this doesn’t includes comments in the gndt and templates.

2.6.1.3 melt down
when a Traveller has a “melt down”, e can not post or vote untill e resolves the melt down (e can post in the gndt or comment in general).

2.6.1.4 melt down resolution
a traveller can resolve a melt down by following all these steps
1)post “DICE3 resolve meltdown” in the gndt.
2)where the result of the DICE3 is d:
if d=1 the traveller sets eir tl to 1419/11/26
if d=2 the traveller sets eir influence to 10
if d=3 all nodes containing the travellers name as a keyword are deleted.
the last sentence does not apply to nodes with the [TIME BOMB] keyword.
3)remove all asterisks (Heisenberg Loops) from eir gndt.
(melt down resolved.)

arrow of time reversed: change rule 2.7 to

Subrules of this Rule are known as Local Rules. Their titles may only be of the form “X (Y)” where Y is a Game Date in Standard Form; the date Y is the Local Rule’s Locale. Any non-rellevarT Traveller whose Temporal Location is before a Local Rule’s Locale is not counted as a Traveller for the purposes of that Local Rule. Any rellevarT whose Temporal Location is after a Local Rule’s Locale is not counted as a Traveller for the purposes of that Local Rule.

Local Proposals do not count towards the two-Proposals-pending or three-Proposals-per-day limits, although a Traveller may not submit more than one Local Proposal per real-time day.

Any Proposal with a subject of the form “X (Y)” where Y is a Game Date in Standard Form is called a Local Proposal, and the date Y is the Local Proposal’s Locale. No Traveller may make a Local Proposal with a Locale that is not in eir Range. No non-Arbiter Traveller may vote on a Local Proposal that is not in eir Range. Any Local Proposal which (upon Enactment) would alter any part of the Ruleset, except for the creation or alteration of Local Rules with the same Locale as the Proposal’s Locale, instead has no effect upon Enactment. Any non-rellevarT Traveller whose Temporal Location is before a Local Proposal’s Locale is not counted as a Traveller for the purposes of the Gamestate being updated to include the specified effects of the Proposal. Any rellevarT whose Temporal Location is after a Local Proposal’s Locale is not counted as a Traveller for the purposes of the Gamestate being updated to include the specified effects of the Proposal.

When a Traveller votes on a Local Proposal, e must include eir current TL in the comment containing their vote for their vote to be counted.

When this Rule is Repealed, remove all occurences of “, or the oldest pending non-Local Proposal, ” from the Core Rule “Enactment”.

for Good. Just give us some way to lose a Loop that isn’t by melt down.

against Fun, but I’m not sure the backwards thing is unambiguous enough; if I write a proposal backwards, it’s not clear whether the enacted text will be backwards or forwards.

CoV,  against until Kevan’s objection is fixed and until it is clear that a Rellevart Lamron is not also Out of Time.

i’ll post a corrected version in a few hours. any more suggestions?

My suggested change is to not restrict voting on a Call for Judgement against

question: in 2.10.1 Heisenberg Snare, can a traveller give a heisenberg snare to emself?

You should mention what happens to a traveller in two loops who fails to post backwards.

Also, we’re in the habit of using for  against to be an against vote.  You should clarify whether that remains the case or whether that would be a for vote for travellers with two loops.

Thelonious, lol :) i would never discover that bug.

i think i have enough stuff, i’m off to rewrie.

against i’m posting a new one

aran:

Thelonious: i mean about the for  against.

about the what happens to a traveller who fails: it’s simply illegal. no price attached for the moment. (i don’t think there will be a need for a price, like voiding the illegal post or reducing influence points, but i’m not 100% sure)

aran:

21-08-2006 11:16:23 UTC

changed my mind. i edited a “voiding if not backward”  to the second proposal. (people usally don’t really void posts if there is no reall need, so i guess it’s safe).

Thelonious:

aran - making it invalid if not backwards is fine.  I was really intending to suggest that, for example, you might want to make it a chronocrime.

aran:

21-08-2006 14:48:13 UTC

:) that’s a very cool idea. since nobody voted yet, i’m changing it to a chroncrime.

aran:

21-08-2006 15:00:53 UTC

done, that should be the finall version. i think my next rule will be something short ;)
