I have no problem with this.

A second metal might be good, though.

I like wood. A well-varnished mahogany dash is more that steampunk enough for my tastes.

I think a big alloy in steampunk is brass, which is copper + zinc. Wood is less important but certainly not unimportant.

CoV, on reflection. Wood seems quite nice as an optional, low-quality material - maybe it lets you build cheaper versions of things, but with the risk that any Invention containing wooden components can be damaged by fire.

now there’s disagreement, I’ll let the Commoners decide what materials to restrict their machines to.

  per Kevan.

In line with the flavor of keeping wood, clock movements prior to the 19th century were often made out of wood, and they worked pretty well.

  as a result of Mad Prince’s def.

“drop any reference to ‘Wood’” is vague and should be spelled out, so that the details are not left to the discretion of the Enacting admin.

Even if you disagree that the vagueness is a problem, this proposal must specify that the changes are meant to be made to the Ruleset (and therefore the GNDT updated to reflect the name change).  As written, it sounds like they should either apply to the “Life after Science” proposal, or perhaps across all Gamestate Documents.

(Tense in the conditional statement is also incorrect: by the time that this proposal would be enacted, there won’t be a pending proposal “Life after Science” that might eventually pass)

per flurie.

I’m fine with either result

Per Kevan

Hmm, looks like the Alethioscript is reporting ais523’s vote as AGAINST (“Votes: 2-13 (2-8-5)”), when actually we’re still stuck on 2-8-5.

per Kevan.

Kevan: Mabye the script does not know, that you are not longer the Executer?

Oh, good point. For anyone else who’s using it, it needs to be updated by clicking the “Sparrowscript Settings” button.

for speed; this seems really unlikely to pass anyway, and it’s holding up the queue.
