Proposal: The Seven Shards of the Key to the Hand of the Dimension of Something

Reached quorum, 8-0.—Kevan

Adminned at 25 Jul 2006 01:59:09 UTC

[ Reproposing with a delete-existing-keywords clause, and a self-repealing paragraph to make it watertight; I’m not sure if we have any precedence on taking game actions halfway through the enactment of a proposal… ]

Delete from the Timeline any keywords which are Travellers’ names.

Add a subrule to “The Timeline”, called “The Grand Scheme”:-

If a Node Event has a Traveller’s name as one of its keywords, then the Event has been engineered to benefit that Traveller - perhaps the Traveller has stolen a valuable object from that day, or has made some change of subtle or sentimental importance. (A new Traveller may not choose an existing keyword as their name.)

A Traveller’s name may only be added as a keyword by that Traveller themselves, and may only be added as a Trigger Event, not as a side effect.

If a Traveller’s name ever appears as the keyword for exactly seven separate Node Events, then they have shown their worth in manipulating the Timeline (or have saved the world, or destroyed it) and may declare Victory.

Nobody may use this rule to declare victory before the 28th of July 2006 (real time). Any admin may remove this paragraph from the ruleset, on or after that date.

for even though if Keitalia or Lyndse unidled they’d be at an advantage.

for If anyone is worried about Keitalia or Lyndse, we can fix that up at the same time we add the word “achieve” into the last two paragraphs.  Rule 1.9 already tells us when a Traveller may declare victory.
