Call for Judgment: Oh. Oh that’s a problem actually.

Popular at 6-0. Enacted by Brendan.

Facts

  • Calls for Judgment do not require tags in order to modify any set of dynastic rules, as no dynastic rule requires it.
  • The rule “Proposals [Para]” states: “A Proposal may include the tags “[Alpha]” and/or “[Prime]”; if it includes neither then it is considered to include both”
  • That rule further states: “A Proposal is also Unstable if: It would amend the Para Ruleset and does not include the tag “[Para]”.”
  • That rule further states: “A Proposal is also Unstable if: It includes the tags “[Alpha]” and/or “[Prime]” in combination with any other tags.”

Resultant Facts

  • A Proposal that appears to include only a [Para] tag also includes the [Alpha] and [Prime] tags.
  • A Proposal that appears to include only tags defined by the rule “Tags” also includes the [Alpha] and [Prime] tags.
  • Any Proposal which appears to include only non-[Alpha], non-[Prime] tags is Unstable.

Remedy

Replace the text of the first paragraph of “Proposals [Para]” with:

A Proposal may include the tags “[Alpha]” and/or “[Prime]”; if it includes neither and includes no other tags defined by the Dynastic Rules, then it is considered to include both and may be updated by the submitting Scientist or any Admin to do so. If a Proposal not tagged “[Alpha]” would amend the Ruleset or Gamestate of the Alpha Universe, or if one not tagged “[Prime]” would amend the Ruleset or Gamestate of the Prime Universe, then that Proposal is Unstable.

A Proposal may include the tag “[Para]”. If a Proposal not tagged “[Para]” would amend the Para Ruleset, then that Proposal is Unstable.

If a Proposal includes the tag/s “[Alpha]” and/or “[Prime]” and includes any other tags defined by the Dynastic Rules, then that Proposal is Unstable.

Remove from the rule “Proposals [Para]”:

A Proposal is also Unstable if:

  • It would amend the Para Ruleset and does not include the tag “[Para]”.
  • It includes the tags “[Alpha]” and/or “[Prime]” in combination with any other tags.

Accept as valid all previously Passed Proposals this Dynasty.

I should note this is only trying to patch the game-breaking problem with the rule. Any other perceived problems are an exercise for the reader.

“If a Proposal includes the tag/s “[Alpha]” and/or “[Para]” and includes any other tags defined by the Dynastic Rules, then that Proposal is Unstable.”

The second of these two tags is presumably meant to be “[Prime]”.

Yes.
