Proposal: Repropose! With extra.

6-1, timed out. Enacted by Elias IX, who shall from now on be synonymous with “the ninth” whenever used in an admin box.

Adminned at 21 Apr 2006 13:21:06 UTC

Enact the following in order.

Add a rule titled “Temporal Effects”:

For the purposes of game play, a Game Day is a M hour period, which is followed by a Game Night of N.

This rule becomes operative after a sidebar widget indicating whether the game is in Game Day or Game Night, after which this sentence is removed.

Set M = N = 6.

Set M and N to the numbers specified by a plurality of counted votes, if those numbers exist.

If at least four comments containing counted votes contain the phrase “It’s gradual”, do not enact the next sentence.

Do not enact the rest of the proposal.

Rewrite the rule Temporal Effects to read as follows:

For the purposes of game play, a Circadian Cycle is the following:

A Game Day of M hours, which is followed by a Midlight Period of R hour(s), which is followed by a Game Night of N hours, which is followed by another Midlight Period of R hour(s).

Midlight is the mysterious time between day and night, and between night and day.

This rule becomes operative after a sidebar widget indicating whether the game is in Game Day, Game Night, or Midlight Period, after which this sentence is removed.

Set M = N = 5. Set R = 1.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (Genesis 1:3-5)

Are you sure about the plurality?

No counted votes (nor their corresponding comments) contain any specification to set M or N to any value.  Not that it matters, since it seems we will get the gradual effect, which does not allow for M, N, and R to be anything other than 5,5, and 1 respectively.

I think a plurality of monks “voted” to not change the numbers.
