Proposal: One step forward and one step back

Reaches quorum, 6-2. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 24 May 2017 23:48:09 UTC

If the proposal “so very very cold . . .” didn’t pass, this proposal does nothing.

Replace the following in the Rule “Supplies”

they may change their camp to the camp with the nearest Latitude to their current camp by spending 1 supplies.

With

they may change their camp to either the camp with the next highest latitude or the camp with the next lowest latitude, both relative to their current camp, by spending 1 Supplies.

 

Allowing movement in both directions.

“This proposal does nothing” could mean that it doesn’t count for the proposal limit, because if it did count then it would be doing something, arguably. It’s up to interpretation and likely not too gameplay relevant anyway lol, but curious none the less.

Potential greentick.

for and a proposal that says “do nothing” unambiguously (to me) counts toward the proposal limit.

Regarding the proposal limit: the proposal only gains power at the time of it’s enactment (and immediately loses it again). So even if the sentence did exclude it from the limit (which it wouldn’t), it’d only have an effect when it’s no longer relevant.

against Who needs a way back? Are we not hardy explorers?

against I think it should be

... to either the next camp with the nearest greater latitude or to the previous camp with the nearest lesser latitude, both relative to their current camp, by spending 1 Supplies.

Otherwise this 1 Supplies is going to transport you further than it should be.

P.S. I keep misreading latitude as altitude when it is combined with the term higher or lower.

P.P.S. When will we build new camps?

@Cpt_Koen, we’re apparently not hardy explorers but instead lazy explorers, since we’ll just get stuck going back and forth between the two closest camps.

duck: are you talking about the fact that you can get more than 1 latitude per Supply with this rule? That’s something that should probably be improved, yes.
