Think you’ve misplaced the Blockquotes.

The last clause shouldn’t be there, so ESE can do things in any order he wants to.

The deletion of the 96 hours sentence will cause the subsequent replacement of it to fail.

I’m pretty sure the 48 hours text allow ESE to replace it, as it is a may clause.

+ “The Board may create a BLANK at their earliest convenience”

@Lawnomos - at their earliest convenience is pointless if they can do anything before doing it.

The big risk of blocking the board’s actions like this is that if the obligation to interact with BLANK is accidentally missed, it could cause a lot of gamestate to have to be reverted or upheld.

Yeah

I do agree with the changes to the scoring and to the amount of letters redacted. However, I think that the issue that Lawnomos and SingularByte bring up is a serious enough concern that this proposal should not be passed in its current form. People can and will make mistakes. against

Every other player: “Redacted should get off their ass and do something!”

Also every other player: “Redacted’s minigame is going to be so demotivatingly bad that them doing anything is effectively pointless. Also impossible if the Board doesn’t feel like doing their bit of it. No we will not fix it and we will not take questions at this time.”

@Josh It looks like you’ve got a proposal slot open. Repropose this without the last clause.

Lawnomos: he/him

Not trying to bully above, just a suggestion considering the against votes it’s gotten so far.

imperial  swapping to def until I have a better understanding of how some other proposals will play out.
