The Monk named James Mullard is holding up the game without reason, and has shown no intention of actually playing it.
Therefore, I propose e be immediately idled if e isn’t idle already, and that each Declaration of Victory and Call for Judgment e has posted, including any posted by ‘Call for Judgment’ from eir IP-address, be failed.
E’s been randomly changing values in the GNDT as well as posting a useless DoV and CfJ. E’ll be idled in about an hour, but I thought I’d stop em from posting more CfJ’s and holding up the game even longer.
given that e can be idled anyway, and I don’t want this kind of precident on the books.
This is exactly the kind of precedent I want on the books.
Thelonious: An idle Monk cannot unidle emself unless e is Admin Staff.
Purplebeard: Still, this CfJ takes care of the case when e posts a legal DoV or CfJ before we can idle em.
I was talking for Kevan about this sort of thing just last week—it’s clear that we lack a mechanism for dealing with antisocial players.
Thelonious, if you’ve missed anything else, you haven’t been minding the GNDT.
Hix: In hindsight, I doubt e had that knowledge. Anyway, e’s idled now.
COV (for no reason, really)
It’s already been dealt with, but even so:
Helps clear the queue, at least.
Oh sorry, you’ve answered all my objections so I’ll do a CoV to .
I do want te register a certain discomfort with the idea of using this mechanisim to get rid of peoplw we simply “don’t like”. I would like to see a proposal for a rule that would create a procedure for dealing with “antisocial” players.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Thelonious:
1. The only vandalism I’ve seen is the recent DoV. Could you provide evidence for the other vandalism?
2. If e has been vandalising then e should be thrown out and blacklisted - not just idled. (An idle monk can unidle emself so there’s not much point in just idling an offending party.)
