Return of CFJ

What do you think about adding Call for Judgment (Member #7) to the author drop down menu once more?

If there aren’t too many objections, I will do so.

At one time, we had this entity as use for annonymous CFJ’s. I was never quite clear as to why it was deleted, but I remember that it was done so illegaly at the time. So why not add it back?

Curiously enough, not a CFJ. The irony is staggering, sir.

It was done due to abuse, the corresponding anonymous CfJ clause being removed from the Ruleset, and no way to confirm that it was legally made by a player.

Well, due to the latest EE upgrade, we are now able to confirm that it was, in fact, legally made by a player, and acertain that player’s identity, should it be necessery. And I don’t believe abuse should be an issue. BTW, were you the one to remove it? Simply curious.

If curious admins can (legally) poke around to discover the player’s identity, that would seem to remove any benefit from the account existing. And I was never very convinced by the need for anonymous CfJs in the first place - remind me?

While you’re here, Wakukee, are you aware that you’re unidle? You don’t seem to have been playing or voting for a while, but your occasional blog comments are keeping you from timing out.

(And what’s with the overflow-auto you decided to add to the proposal list? Saving space in the sidebar is definitely useful, but it seems important to show at a glance how long the proposal queue is.)

@Kevan: Anonymous CFJs are useful in dynasties with hidden factions (e.g. werewolves or cultists), but not much elsewhere.

Which doesn’t work if any curious admin can check to see who made the CfJ.

I don’t know how the Cultist Dynasty did it, but if we had another Werewolf type dynasty, I’d try “Werewolves may email proposals and CfJs to the Emperor, who reposts them with a [Werewolf] tag”.

The whole Cultist thing collapsed, in the end; it wasn’t really thought through, and people just weren’t using the relevant rules. (Doing it as an add-on to another dynasty didn’t really help…)

I strongly disagree with the scrollbar on the pending proposals list.

Wakukee:

Allright, I’ll undue in when I have time. I thought it was just space saving, as the proposal list was getting out of hand. Perhaps we can make some personal buttons for visual options? I can draft it up when I have some time for players to choose the visual options they want.

Yeah, don’t over-flow auto the proposal list.  The iPhone browser chokes on it.

Also, what happened to the links to archives by month?  I actually used that.

I’ve now removed the overflow on the proposal list.

The archive links are still there.
