Proposal: Proposal: Hinting at Rules
Timed out (5-4) by Hix
Angry Grasshopper has 48 hours to make the strings and post about them, but witty strings are not required

Change, in rule 2.10, the sentence:
Any game action taken under an Encrypted rule must be accompanied by a post to the front page stating that an Encrypted rule was used, although neither the Encrypted rule or the plaintext itself need be cited.
to:
Any game action taken under an Encrypted rule must be accompanied by a post to the front page with the subject of “Encrypted Rule” and the body beginning with the string unique to each encrypted rule. These strings are kept by the Abbot, and shall be obtained by a Monk by messaging the Abbot once e feels e has successfully decrypted an encrypted rule.
Add to the end of the first paragraph of rule 2.10:
A Monk may not use an encrypted rule until e has obtained the string by messaging the Abbot.
Also, the Abbot will have 48 hours after the passing of this proposal to create the aforementioned strings. Until then, encrypted rule usage would not change. The Abbot is to make a post to the front page once e has created the strings, after-which a Monk may message the Abbot to obtain such a string.
If more than half of all comments containing counted votes also contain the text “witty”, then each string must be in some way a hint to the rule being used. For example, if there was an encrypted rule with the plaintext “A Monk who possesses a Frog may use it often to gain 3 knowledge”, then an appropriate string would be “Consulting with Animal Guide”.
Now we get consistent hints, at least to what encrypted rules can do, if not what they do exactly. Also, forgive the terrible, terrible example. The spirit is there, I think.
