Proposal: take two

Create a new GNDT field entited paradoxes

Add a new impulse entitled “The points of paradox” with the following text

The Ego can only stand so much paradox before his head explodes into a big pile of goo and is finally taken over by one of the rampant voices within his head.  Whenever a voice, not including the Ego, is experiencing a paradox of any form e may make a post Entitled Paradox: ‘thing’ describing the voices current paradox or paradox e experienced up to 24 hours prior to the post, with ‘thing’ being replaced with a title as if it were a proposal.  Voices and the Ego may make only FOR or AGAINST votes to a Paradox post, with a FOR signifying that the mentioned paradox is, for that voice, a unique instance of that particular paradox.  A voice may only make one post about a particular paradox even if they are experiencing a paradox for a second time. A voice may only make one post about a particular paradox even if they are experiencing a paradox for a second time.  If a quorum of FOR votes is reached within 48 hours, or after 48 hours at least half of the votes on the paradox are for then the paradox is indeed a paradox and the posting voice may add one to their paradox field and one to the Ego’s paradox field.  ANGEL DEVIL and FRED may not vote on paradox posts, nor do their votes count towards quorum on paradox posts.  This rule is only valid if there are at least two identicle sentences within it.  If there are not two identicle sentences in this rule, then no paradox posts may be made.

If a voice doesn’t have anything in it’s paradox field, set it to zero.

Set the paradox field of all voices, and the Ego to zero.

Add an inclination named “Someone please eventually come up with a better number than 666” with the following text:

The voice who legally increases the Ego’s Paradox field to 666 will have ended this dynasty.  Once this has happened whoever, besides the ego, has the most paradox points is considered the paradox queen.  The paradox queen may declare victory.  The second to last sentence of this rule is only true if this rule is an instinct.  This rule only needs to be followed if it is an instinct.  Because this rule is not an instinct it is not valid.

Change the color of the last word of rule 2.4 to orange, and if it is orange, change it to a different color orange.

delete the text of proposal paradox points, and pretend it never happend

Note - two instances of chicken protection at the moment, the double sentences and final sentences of the first rule, and the last few sentences of the second.  Thus unless we get 4 chickens, they can’t be exploited, and i think that being able to make infinate paradox posts that would all be legal would get annoying.
