Proposal: Million Dollar Speaky

Passes 11-0. Josh can’t gain 2 credibility since he has maximum possible value. Cpt_Koen, Kevan, Klisz, Murphy lose one credibility for not having voted. — Quirck

In the rule entitled Commitments, add the following sentence at the end of the rule:

Any Commitment thus cited in a Tabloid Headline post ceases to be a Commitment.

In the rule entitled Urgent Questions, change the last two paragraphs to read:

The named Honourable Member should then respond to the story post with a comment containing an answer to the urgent question. The answer may be detailed or brief, evasive or specific, but it must address the question asked in the body of the post. Upon answering the question they gain 1 Credibility. Each Urgent Question may be answered by the named Honourable Member only once.

If the named Honourable Member has not responded to the urgent question within 48 hours, any Honourable Member may once reduce their Credibility by 3.

One of the concerns raised was regarding the lack of definition for “proof”. I’m deliberately not touching that, mostly because I’m entertained by the idea of standards of proof being determined by precedent and challenge rather than predefinition.

for I’m thinking of including a rule for a Point of Order resolved by the Speaker, but I figured I’d put my other two proposals through first.

Does the wording “any Honourable Member may once reduce their Credibility by 3.” imply each and every member could do so once regardless of whether others have done so?

No. If it said “each” or “every”, it would.
