Proposal: (Officially) (Officially) Changing the Modus Ponens

Times out at 6-0.

I propose the following change to the ruleset:

If a paragraph exists in the rule “The Modus Ponens” that begins with the following string:

“The subrule’s Requirements describe a set of game events and / or gamestates.”

Replace the entire paragraph with the following paragraph:

The subrule’s Requirements describe a set of game events and / or gamestates. Often, a Traveller may pick up to three different subrules, and carry out those subrules’ Actions. That Traveller specifies the order in which eir Actions are carried out.  A Traveller may only carry out each of those subrule’s Actions if that subrule’s requirements are true. When a Traveller performs a set of Actions, e must post a weblog entry explaining the order of eir Actions and state how the requirements were all fulfilled.

This is Saki’s Proposal, without referencing rule numbers (Damned Dynamic Ruleset), and also clarifing the third sentence using the keyword carried out as opposed to the to “occur”, thereby eliminating ambiguity as to whether or not order of actions affects requirements for actions (they do).

How many times can I goof up in the first proposal? Thanks for clearing that up.

Saki: The first one’s always the hardest.  Once you’ve made all the major mistakes at least once, you’ll be fine (mostly).
