Tonight, it is crucial that the Doctor is successful in upholding this part of his oath.  If he fails, he should be considered at least a little suspect, and another should be given the opportunity to take up this duty.

The proposal creates self-repealing ruletext so that I don’t have to make special cases for the (admittedly unlikely) possibility that this proposal is enacted before the next nighttime is over, which would also have required the proposal to possibly have a delayed effect; I know that some small number of you don’t approve of such proposals.

its abit confusing

Should we take this to mean that you believe the good Doctor has inside information on who’s going to die tonight?  He only gets to protect one person, and I’m not convinced it’s fair to demote him because he failed to guess the correct random number from 1 to 14.  If I were him I’d be fervently targeting myself.

Speaking of which, uh, there are apparently only 19 active Villagers.  I’ll fix that.

Elias IX has now been savaged by wolves. The Doctor was in another part of the village, and did not save him.

Note that I’m dead and can’t vote on this, so deferential votes are genuine abstentions here.

Town meetings shouldn’t make rules; they should do something.

The only way to legally enforce a “do this thing on this future date” mechanic is to enact it as a self-repealing rule.

Damn it, Jim, I’m a Doctor, not a Clairvoyant!
