Proposal: The Theme, Unabridged

Passes with Quorum—arth

Adminned at 15 Jan 2009 11:58:27 UTC

Create a new rule “Theme”:

There exists a Dynastic Theme (also known as The Theme) which is a part of the Gamestate, but which may not be changed through Proposals or other Rules. The Theme is described by a single sentence which is only known to The Writer, and whose MD5 hash is “997e169d477054d6f23621e83e46e127”.

Create a new rule “Guessing”:

Each Staff member has a non-negative integer number of “Guesses” which are tracked by the GNDT. New Citizens start with 3 Guesses. As a daily action, a Staff member may “Take a Guess” by spending 1 Guess and making a Story Post whose subject starts with “[Guess]”. The post shall contain in it’s body a text that will be compared to the Theme by the Writer.

If the text to compare has roughly the same words as the Theme, disregarding punctuation, capitalization and exact order of the words, the Writer shall comment that the Guess was correct and the Staff member who took the Guess may achieve victory. If one of the words used in the Guess is a synonym of a word in the Theme, the two words shall be considered effectively the same.

In any other case, The Writer shall comment that the Guess is wrong and may include some reasons as to why it was wrong on the same comment.

Give 3 Guesses to each member of the Staff.

Yes, I know the guess is really hard at first. But I’d prefer if you’d also propose some way to making it easier for yourselves, like making me give you hints or something. Think of it as a more challenging Wheel of Fortune.
