Call for Judgment: Rotten Fruit Ruining My Life

Quorumed, with 13 for to 1 against -Bucky

Adminned at 30 May 2009 10:20:58 UTC

In Rule 2.10.1 Rotten Fruit, change the text:

that Contestant treats whatever DICE roll they roll as if it were a 10.

to:

that Contestant treats their next DICE roll for the Fruit Effects Table as if it were a 10.

This is simply a clarification of the existing Rule, so I can CfJ it.

This is clearing up the Rule so that it can’t be interpreted as applying ad infinitum. Otherwise, it might be interpreted as “All of a Contestant’s future DICE rolls count as 10s.”

Tempted to against this solely because it’s a legislative CfJ.

for to get this one out of the sidebar; legislative CFJs are bad in multiple ways, generally (they can get stuck in the sidebar for days, they don’t use a slot, they don’t respect DEFERENTIAL votes).

I wasn’t about to use a slot for this, but it seemed a good idea to fix.

I thought you didn’t like DEF votes anyway, ais?

@Qwaz: Well, I don’t really; it puts a lot of pressure on me, and I don’t believe that I can run a nomic by myself better than a consensus of everyone else can. However, that’s a sort of selfish want; they’re certainly good for BlogNomic in that they help dynasties go the way the emperor wants. I suppose it depends on how open-ended or closed-ended the dynasty is; some are aiming somewhere in particular (like arthexis’ was), some aren’t. As for mine, I know where the flavour is going, but am only going to try to force the rules in a particular direction if nobody else has good ideas, and we’ve had plenty of good ideas so far.

for It is a legislative CfJ but I think we all know this was the original intent (or at least we will if this gets a quorum of For votes), so I don’t see a reason to vote against this solely on formal grounds.

for huh, I never considered the legislative CfJ distinction.

spikebrennan: Idle

The reason for the distinction—well, one of them, anyway, is to make people use one of their limited number of proposal slots to take an action that ought to be taken by proposal.
