Proposal: Something to Brag about

reached a quorum, final vote 9-2—Yoda

Adminned at 05 Mar 2008 20:01:31 UTC

Add this at the end of rule “Sailing”:

There exists a section of sub-rules within this rule, called “Bragging Rights”. Each Rule within that section will apply only to Captains who’s rank is one specified in that rule, and will apply to no one else. No sub-rule may be created in this section that affects more than three ranks at once. Each rule will be noted down in this fashion, replacing words within parenthesis with the appropriate value:

(Rule Name) [(Ranks)]:  (Rule Text)

All such rules will be noted below, within this rule.

Create this new sub-rules in the Bragging Rights section:

Plunderin’ [3rd through 6th]: Pirates may, as a weekly action, add three times DICE10 to their Gold.

Lethal Skillz [3rd through 6th]: Ninjas may, as a weekly action, reduce a single Pirates Army Size of their choice by DICE4.

against Doesn’t this contradict itself? (the proposed subrules affect more than three ranks)

Mmm, got me. If the proposal is enacted, the first rule change would be valid but the sub rules would do nothing as they are written.

for Since the sub-rules would be useless as written, it doesn’t hurt to just ignore them for now and allow the proposal to pass as is (provided you approve of the mechanic proposed).

for The first two subrules would be valid in my opinion as it states:
“No sub-rule may be created in this section that affects more than three ranks at once.”
and not:
“No sub-rule may exists in this section that affects more than three ranks at once.”

Technically, this proposal is creating the sub-rule, so it the clause does apply.  Therefore, this proposal, if enacted, would make itself illegal.

But, as per the glossary, the proposal does not affect itself; rather, it affects all proposals hereafter.
