Proposal: Red Taped - Easy Mode

Self-killed - Elias IX. 19th consecutive proposal adminned… do i win a prize?

Adminned at 21 Dec 2005 15:34:36 UTC

I propose that from now on, after every vote in the comments, Protagonists include the current vote total, in the form

(number of votes counted as FOR), (number of votes counted as AGAINST)

Do not make a rule making this mandatory unless another Protagonist proposes such rule.

Do not punish Protagonists who forget to do this.

Why make a rule? It’d be easier just to do it.

Since only one number changes with every vote, this shouldn’t be too hard.

I know this doesn’t change the gamestate, but proposals are more often read than other posts.

I can change my vote to deferential, just not to against.

imperial 0-2-XX

Is there a better way to include deferential votes?

0-2-2
or
0-2-(2)?

I am also against (0-4-2) this being a Proposal. I remember seeing it before and thinking “oh, clever, this isn’t a Proposal”. I, however, understand the issue of “proposals are more often read than other posts”, which I find sad. Shame on people who don’t read non-Proposal posts. :(

(Note that this encourages people t consider this information normative, even though the number of times people are likely to accidentally introduce some silly off-by-one error while copying things is likely to be high. I, for one, will probably ignore these.)

Also I think it should include a punishment for lying as that might be bad.  against (0-11-2) (note that quorum has been reached)
