Under the rule Fair Play, it says:
An Organ should not make a DoV primarily to delay the game by putting it into Hiatus.
And:
If any of these rules are found to have been broken, or if an Organ’s behaviour or actions are otherwise deemed unacceptable (socially or otherwise), a proposal or CfJ may be made to reprimand or punish the perpetrator or, in cases of extreme or repeated violations, remove them from the game and bar them from rejoining.
As Cuddlebeam has stated that they had no intention of making an Ascension Address and merely intended to hand the game back over to Viv in order to continue the current dynasty, it seems clear that their DoV was meant only to delay the game to prove some sort of non-existent point. Since this is far from the first upset that Cuddlebeam has caused this dynasty, I propose the following:
Idle Cuddlebeam.
Add a rule entitled “Cuddlebeam’s Punishment” with the text:
The Organ named Cuddlebeam may not unidle during the First Dynasty of Viv.
We can make card’s suggested change to the rules later - since CFJs don’t necessarily get enacted in order I want to wait until that one is failed first.
Kevan: he/him
Note that “and prevented from rejoining until this dynasty ends” has no binding effect here, as the admin enacting a CfJ can only “update the Gamestate and Ruleset” - they can’t control the behaviour of future admins as regards to unidle requests. If we want to enforce something in the future, we have to write it down in the rules.
Unless some other play emerges later in the day that hinges on the gamestate having been locked since 9am, though, I don’t see that Cuddlebeam was doing this “primarily to delay the game”. Cuddlebeam has also already said that they “will ask to idle myself, as a self-timeout for being so hyperactive”, so perhaps lesson learned?
