Proposal: The Bench Acknowledges

Timed out, 3-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 21 Apr 2024 18:59:22 UTC

Add the following to the list of Upgrade Criteria in the rule Upgrades:

* Post three consecutive Snaps each of which was posted at the earliest possible point (to the nearest day) that they could have been under the poster’s Development Interval at the time of posting
* A Snap which was provably taken in a different time zone from a previous Snap taken by the same Seeker
* A Snap, posted after 19 April, to which the Observer has responded saying that he finds it aesthetically pleasing (for the purposes of the rule No Cooperations, this may be considered a co-operative mechanism, although the Observer is encouraged to evaluate each Snap on its aesthetic merits rather than persuing any actual tacit or explicit co-operation)

At present, Excellence in War Photography is impossible as a Development Bonus of 3 requires 6 upgrades and only 5 are available. Just rounding out the list a little.

Okay, I was wondering when we would get around to allowing the Excellence in War Photography to be awarded.  These seem as good as any other upgrades.

Should we make the a last one a little more challenging?  Maybe two snaps?

Or not, perhaps the observer has a good eye for the aesthetically pleasing.

I have yet, I think, to find a snap aesthetically pleasing in this dynasty.

Well, you did find Night Blossom to be aesthetically pleasing.

Mm, good point - have amended in a date check on that one.
