Proposal: Quiet study

If the Proposal titled “Spelling Lessons” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add a new rule, “Library”:-

As a weekly action, a Student may choose to study any of the main Subjects in the Library by posting a blog entry with the subject “Library: [STUDENT] studies [SUBJECT]” and then incrementing their Grade in that Subject.

Dedicated students will learn much from books, but some contain dangerous knowledge, and shadowy creatures lurk in the Library’s corners…

I’m sorry but… not a proposal.

“POSTED BY UNDEF AT 05 NOV 2010 21:14:19 UTC”
Current time: “Fri 05/11/10—21:34:37 UTC”

So 15 minutes have elapsed.

for, still.

against, for what it’s worth - with no down side, there’d be no reason for a player not to take this action, so we’d get twenty blog posts a week, starting as soon as this enacted.

Roujo is referring to the fact that this post isn’t in the “Proposal” category, by the way. (You need to select the actual category so that the blog software can pick up on it as being a proposal, rather than just adding “Proposal:” to the title.)

Oh, right. You’re new. *blushes* Sorry! (And thanks Kevan for pointing this out to me.)

Whoops, sorry about the category. But Kevan’s point is valid, so I’ll refine the proposal and post it again. I’m not too happy about requiring a blog post for this; could you suggest a more adequate mechanic?

“As a weekly action, a Student may choose to study any of the main Subjects in the Library by incrementing their Grade in that Subject.” would be fine - the GNDT logs all changes people make to their game variables (if you scroll down the “Game Data” frame in the sidebar, you’ll see the “Latest update:”), so anyone who looked could verify that it had happened.
