Proposal: Mirror Mirror On The Wall

Self-killed. -Bucky

Adminned at 03 Aug 2016 22:15:15 UTC

In the rule “[VAN] Vanity”, replace the phrase “If the same Scribe is named this way in 2 consecutive weekly reports, that Scribe Scores.” with the following:

If the same Scribe is declared as having the single highest Looks in two consecutive weekly reports, that Scribe Scores.

I think we can trust Brendan to not just add in a “And Clucky scores” clause in a Weekly Report, so not actually patching that separately, but here.

Explicitly making ties (and incidental namings) not count. I’m personally against this, but I’m going to vote DEF so as not to self-kill it.

I had interpreted this as a clarification.  But it looks like this is intended as the same “Fix it after someone already used the loophole” situation as Debate Draws if “Do ties count?” fails. against  for consistency, will CoV if “Do ties count?” passes.

Fair enough. I just wanted to toss out the option, since noone else was doing so. (And yeah, this is an obvious clarification pass if the CfJ passes.)

It’s also personal for me since it if the CfJ fails but this passes, it explicitly spells out that the tie counts for you but not for me.

Oh! I… actually didn’t realize that. Whoops.

That’s a good point.

I’ll s/k this if the CfJ fails, then. It’s hardly an urgent fix, after all.

Well, this is now one vote away from Quorum (and the CfJ is failing).

Completely unfair to bucky if you score from being tied and then he doesn’t score if he wins next week

against Better safe than sorry, then.
