I wanted to vote deferential just to see you reaction. =P
And I prefer zombies to ghosts. (They are easier to control, Mwahaha)

Do self-referential proposals work that way?

Though if it fails it just does nothing, so the first sentence has no effect.

Braaaaaiiiins!

You sure on that, Darth Cliche?

Thane Q: Yes, we’ve gone over this sort of thing before you arrived. Long story short, here’s the sentence that makes enacted proposals work:

The oldest pending Proposal may be enacted by any Admin (and the Ruleset and/or Gamestate updated to include the specified effects of that Proposal) if either of the following is true:

(It goes on to have a list of conditions for enactment.)

Here’s the equivalent for failed proposals:

The oldest pending Proposal may be failed by any Admin, if any of the following are true:

No “(and the Ruleset and/or Gamestate updated to include the specified effects of that Proposal)”, therefore no failed proposals having effect. QED.

I see. Well, since I was unaware of this, please forgive me for questioning it. I wasn’t really taking this seriously…

Although, to be honest, I was thinking about self-killing this (and myself) to become a Ghost.

At least it’s relatively harmless, and if people decide to make me a Zombie, I’ll go with it. :)

The obvious exploit otherwise is “If this prop fails, Brendan wins,” and an immediate self-kill.  anyway.

This would be a matter for the Headmaster.

@Kevan - I’d like to think that, even in our fictional witch school, selection on the basis of race is frowned upon.

Unless it’s governed by zombie Tories?

@Brendan: Or “If this prop fails, add a new rule saying ‘Brendan may edit the ruleset in any way at any time’”, for that matter.

=P

This should prove to be interesting. =)
