Um… Under the current ruleset someone can be retroactively guilty of a Chronocrime.  For example, I’m currently technically guilty of Vandalism even though that rule had not even been proposed when I did it.

I’m all this.

for reasons stated above.

You can’t “break a stipulation” before that stipulation exists, Bucky.

The Laws of Time are very vague anyway, at the moment, only saying that breaking them “may be” enough to count as a Chronocrime.

This means that the Laws of Time will essentially have force of rule, because no one in their right mind would commit a Chronocrime. Also, I don’t think the guilt of Travellers is going to be very interested in winning a Dynasty.

Kevan: The reason I left the Chronocrime rule vague, is to prevent endless arguements about weird permissions such as “I give permission to anyone whose name, when transliterated into japanese, contains exactly three charaters, one of which must be a lone vowel,  except if it contains four or more consonants, to change my formula to t100=z.” or the like. I would have put in a rule that actually convicts people, but that bloated the proposal a bit too much.

S-K, to free up the slot.
