Proposal: Trademarks

Vetoed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 27 Jul 2025 06:48:56 UTC

In the rule “Food Trucks”, after the text “Each Truck has a Name” add the text “that when not empty is unique among all other Trucks’ Names that are not empty”.

If there is more than one Truck with the same non-empty Name, for each of those Trucks in the set of Trucks with the same non-empty Name, roll DICE1000 and add the result as text to the end of that Truck’s Name.

I don’t know if a Truck’s Name is going to be significant, but might as well stop any trickery now while we have the chance.

(At the very least, if you regret it, you can add a number to *yours*- but I’d prefer to keep mine, thanks.)

A Truck may change their own Name at any time.

you could just keeping changing the Truck name to the last DICE1000 generated version and soon you’d have something like Pokes’ Rice and Beans46320929392939…...

alas eternalservererror, the rule would prevent you from changing your name to one that already exists

veto Actually going to sneak in with a rare veto here, under my Scam-Averse Imperial Style.

This amendment would give us “Each Truck has a Name that when not empty is unique among all other Trucks’ Names that are not empty (a flavour text string)”, arguably saying that only the list of other names is flavour text, not the Truck’s name itself.
