vetoed—Yoda

Add the following to the end of the core rule call “Enactment”.
If a proposal fails then not part of it, even if part of the proposal says “if this fails then”, can be enacted.
Add the following to the end of the fourth paragraph in the core rule called “Victory and Ascention”
Only if a DoV passes and is not failed can a Character Ascend.
To nip a little issue in the butt before it bites back.
Say I make 2 proposals
Proposal one:
“This is a proposal.”
which fails because it is utterly useless.
Proposal two:
“This does something useful.”
(Pretending that these four words could do something useful). When I go to enact the second proposal, i cannot ennact the word “This”, as it constitutes a part of proposal one.
umm… two could because even if the same words in both if two isn’t dependent on the first one passing it. idk whats going on in ya head, no offence
Obviously I’m being a bit simplistic and pointing out an extreme case, I’m just demonstrating that your particular wording can be abused. What if an entire paragraph was copied from proposal one into proposal two, could that paragraph be enacted?
It’s just a small mistake in the way you worded your proposal, i don’t mean any offence.
none taken. If its two sep proposal postings the second would be able to be enacted. my wording is based one proposal at a time
. The first section is (a) meaningless, as the changes cannot happen anyway, and (b)is confusingly worded.
oh ik that buck lol. tell ovangle though. I tried to explain it on the cut short proposal. s/k
i never said anything about proposals, I could see they weren’t a problem, because they could be vetoed.
For what it’s worth, “Ascend” isn’t a term used by the ruleset, and there’s a loophole of any DoV (“Why, a DoV was passed and not failed only six months ago!”) being enough for a character to “Ascend”.

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.
