Proposal: Timeliness

3-8.  Timed out, failed by Excalabur

Adminned at 08 Jul 2006 12:36:33 UTC

Substitute the last 2 bullets in the Timespans section in the Glossary with:

* An action which may be taken ‘often’ may be taken once per day, but not more than once every six hours.
* An action which may be taken ‘frequently’ may be taken once each 48 hours, but not more than once every twelve hours.
* An action which may be taken ‘occasionally’ may be taken once each 72 hours, but not more than once per twenty-four hours.
* An action which may be taken ‘seldom’ may be taken once per week, but not more than once per fourty-eight hours.

In The Continuum, change “no more than once every seventy-two hours” to “occasionally”.

In Microjumps, change “each Traveller may set eir TL to any date within eir Range once every 48 hours” to “each Traveller may frequently set eir TL to any date within eir Range”

If more than 2/3 of the counted votes in this proposal says “Daily drift”, add “Often,” before the first sentence in Microjumps.

for Explicit “Daily drift”

against because it causes two redundant bullet points.

against Having to remember the definitions of four similar and arbitrary words seems too much.

against What the heck do your definitions for “frequently” and “occasionally” even mean???  The point of the current “often” is that it restricts action during both a duration which depends on the exact time used (i.e. must wait at least 6 hours), and during a predetermined timeframe which does not depend on the exact time used (i.e. must wait until tomorrow).  Similarly for the current “occasionally” (since “week” is defined as the period from Monday to Sunday).
