Proposal: Spring Cleaning, Now With Properly-Labeled Brooms

Reached quorum, 17-0. Josh

Perform the following changes, in order:

1) In “Ruleset and Gamestate”, change “Section Three contains the glossary” to “Section Three contains the Appendix”, and rename the glossary to “Appendix”.

2) Move the entire rule “Dynasties” to be immediately below the rule “Farmers”.

3) From “Proposals”, remove “A Proposal may not also be a Call for Judgment.”

4) From “Victory and Ascension”, remove the paragraph that starts with “A Declaration of Victory may not also be…”

5) Move the entire rule “Gamestate Tracking” to the newly renamed Appendix, immediately below the Keywords section.

6) In “Farmers”, change ‘Rules 1.1, 1.2, 1.8 and 1.10’ to ‘Rules “Ruleset and Gamestate”, “Farmers” , “Dynasties” and “Fair Play”’.

7) In “Voting”, change ‘for the purposes of rule 1.5’ to ‘for the purposes of rule “Resolution of Proposals”’.

8) In the newly renamed Appendix, change both instances of ‘rule 1.4’ to ‘rule “Voting”’.

That should cover Kevan’s concerns from my earlier proposal. With these changes, all references to rule numbers in the ruleset are replaced by the title of the corresponding rule.

On a completely unrelated note, it turns out that idle Landlords can still use their veto due to an interesting interaction between “Farmers” and “Dynasties” (they still count as Farmers for the second rule).

for I’m not even sure if idle Landlords being able to veto is a bug. (If it caused a problem, they’d just be replaced by CFJ anyway, and if the Landlord idles, a dynasty is typically either in trouble or already has a contingency to deal with the circumstance.)

for @ais: IE, when Wak had to idle in his and put me in charge yes?

@Darknight: it’s happened more than once, but the Wak->you transition was probably the cleanest. (It happened in my third dynasty too, but it was set up in advance to survive without an Emperor for a few days and then end.)
