Proposal: Tidy up

Passes 13-0. - Qwazukee

Adminned at 07 Jun 2010 01:34:57 UTC

Replace the following words in Rule 1.9

Voter and Returning Officer

with the words

@ and RNG

Not sure if this proposal is strictly necessary at this stage. “Voter” and “Returning Officer” should have been replaced by “Blognomicker” and “Victorious Blognomicker” at some point, which then in turn should have been replaced by “@” and “RNG”. Note that the particular instance of “Voter and Returning Officer” that was overlooked is in exactly the rule that allows the Emperor to change those terms next time! So, given that this rule has never read “Blognomicker and Victorious Blognomicker”, nothing in the rules allowed DC to replace those terms with @ and RNG in his ascension address… If the ruleset is not amended correctly according to the rules, is it regarded as being out of step with the current gamestate in the same way as the GNDT? Anyway, if this proposal is redundant, let me know and I’ll nix it. At least it breaks my proposal virginity, what a relief.

These should have been replaced at the start of Ienpw III’s dynasty, yes; he seems to have forgotten to do so. Technically that’s the official, platonic form of the ruleset anyway.

In theory, if the published Ruleset doesn’t actually match the actual rules, you can just change it; if the wiki is wrong it doesn’t actually change the rules, just makes it harder to figure out what they are.

for So according to ais the rules exist separate from the wiki ruleset. Interesting idea.

Galdyn: If they didn’t, I could edit the ruleset to make it include the sentence “The @ named Darth Cliche may edit the ruleset and gamestate in any way at any time.”, and that sentence would actually be in the ruleset, no questions asked (or CfJs raised).

Darth: I think if that happened CFJs would be raised anyway.
