Some corrections

I’m making some corrections, since some actions were taken based upon incorrect assumptions.  I don’t think we have to declare them all illegal, but to fix them up, I have to employ a certain amount of mind-reading as to the Traveller’s intent.  I’ll post my changes here as I make them, along with rationale.

1) aran isn’t allowed to Modus Ponens again today, so eir TL is still 1419/11/29, and e doesn’t get the Beacon bonus (yet!)

2) The Focus Date should have been 1879/12/31.  When it got changed to 1/1/1 (by epylar), I assume it would have been legally changed to 0/12/31 (just one day off).

3) I assume that Elias (and companion) would have continuum jumped to 0/12/31 and continuum swirled to -253/12/31 (just one day off).  Elias’s Node event also gets a date correction by a day.

I suppose marking all illegal actions as illegal and having everyone try to sort out at once would be a pain.

Epylar, just to make sure you understand that this isn’t a proposal and doesn’t require your vote.  Hix is the “Arbiter” and the rules give him the power to change node events at will.  We all have to power to correct GNDT errors.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with adding a comment to something like this to mark your approval (or otherwise).

Thanks for the advice.  I’m new to blognomic and just recently found out about nomics in general.

(I meant the vote mostly as whimsical approval.)

(indeed, I took it as such, and I thank you for it)
