BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

What constitutes ‘information that would usually be entered?’

“Information that would usually be entered into the “Present Time” section of the Plot Summary page under the sub-section that corresponds to the current date” if you want to be more precise.

If someone has already used their 3 per week, the word “should” would cause some confusion as to whether he can actually put a story in a random occurence post.  “Shall” would mean that he definitely could not; “may” would mean that he definitely could; but “should” is too ambiguous.

Also, Oze’s argument is valid as well, but your “more precise” definition is not what is needed.

I would suggest something along the lines of saying that when someone makes a random occurence post, he may make comment X to make it also a plot seed.  Even that wording would need to be “legalized”, but the general idea is there.

I was just trying to make it simple and not use any uneccessary jargon, because I was berated for trying to “legalise” what I was saying.

I understand your objection to the use of “should”, but as for Oze’s comment, I don’t really see a basis for rejecting it based on the word “usually”. It is vague, but no more vague than the description of what constitutes a plot seed in the first place.

You could change “information” to “statements”, but there is no legislation that says entries to the plot summary page are required to be statements. It could easily be a phone number or something.

If I’m being a cock about things sorry, I’m just making an earnest attempt to learn.

Don’t feel bad. Its a case of you read it one way and someone else reads it another.

Loopholes are a-plenty, if you don’t watch your words.

Too ambiguous.
