Proposal: Neatness

4-7, cannot reach quorum w/o CoV.  Failed by Excalabur.

Move rule 4 to the ‘impulses’ section of the rules, and name it “The fortress of cheese”

For the remainder of this dynasty, consider the sentence defining the three types of rules as exclusive, not permissive.

Can the second sentence of this proposal have a continual effect?  It doesn’t add anything to the ruleset.  Rewrite and I will vote for.

Drat.  Too late to rewrite it.

Excalabur:

And the answer is ‘yes’.  Proposals can do anything they’re not specifically disallowed from doing.

See: the famous cheese proposal.  Moonwryn, I assume you have a link to it?

I’d like to point out that in my greatest, last, and most utterly illegal act as Emperor I enacted that proposal.

Oh yeah.

against Can’t we just put a sentence in the law stating that rules are impulsses by default

Hix:

Yes, but did it have a continual game effect _after_ its passing?  There’s nothing that says we have to obey old proposals.  We need only obey the ruleset.

I think a proposal can have a continual effect which isn’t tracked, but is still part of the gamestate, but this is bad form. boo, Excalabur. against

Yeah, but this seemed less wordy.
