Proposal: This is really hard.

Passed 10 to 2.  Since ‘The Man of the Hour’ is likely to be passed anyway, I won’t bother doing anything with this, since it is arguable whether or not it should be changed.  If anyone wants to bring up a CfJ, go ahead.  Yarrr!  - Jack

I savour the smell of the sea,
but dull and too quiet she be.
So here is my tip:
an NPC ship,
which is tracked in the GNDT.

Its name is “The poisonous Flower”,
Its captain “The Man of the Hour”.
For voting ingore him,
(he won’t count for quorum).
His flavor is equal to sour.

Why it’s posted in the future ?
should be “For voting ignore him”
but for limerick - bravo

Too bad it wont do anything…. It doesn’t say to add it to the rules.

Good limerick for sure.

against great limerick, useless proposal

This proposal I sadly forget
Though it’s the first limereck yet.
You see, there’s this flaw
(which Yoda just saw)—
It doesn’t amend the ruleset.

For the record: proposals may alter the gamestate directly. As far as I can see, this proposal is perfectly fine in that regard, so the NPC will be created if this passes.

I don’t mind passing it, but it won’t do anything!

Proposals can indeed change game state directly, but we will require further proposals to determine what this Man of the Hour can do.

I read what the other folks wrote
And the conclusions therein I note.
The proposal is fine
‘scuse me for my whine
Instead, now I’m changing my vote.

for COV. It may not do anything but thats what we’re here for. One of us makes a rule mold and the rest flesh it out. PB gave us the mold, so lets flesh it out into something cool.

The GNDT is only a reflection of the ruleset.  If the ruleset does not create the entity and say that it is tracked in the GNDT, it does not legally exist in the GNDT.

While, obviously, I’m not playing and thus don’t really have a say, I shall just point out that rule 1.3 says quite explicitly that “Any Captain may submit a Proposal to change the Ruleset or Gamestate”, my emphasis; as such, and with the GNDT being part of the gamestate (as defined by the ruleset), it should be legal to propose to edit it directly.
