Proposal: Twin Sleds

Reaches quorum 5-2. Enacted by pokes.

Adminned at 17 Jun 2017 12:40:55 UTC

Amend rule “Using Supplies” by substituting “2” for the default value for the number of Dog Sleds.
Set to 2 the number of Dog Sleds of every Explorer who has less than 2 Dog Sleds.

It’d be okay if we had actually accomplished the mission to get the extra dog sleds. Instead, we just Proposed that the mission be over ( https://blognomic.com/archive/and_nobody_donated_to_boot ). So basically, we Proposed to each get 2 Dog Sleds instead of 1, which sounds unjust to newcomers.

That mission’s completion difficulty was way higher than the participation level and should be an important lesson to people creating missions. for

It wasn’t so difficult.

An Explorer could contribute 20 Supplies in their first day, by donating their default 10, then taking a debt of 10 from Base Camp.

We never implemented any penalty for debts, and the reward of a second Dog Sled seemed high enough a motivation.

The problem was, everyone thought “meh, I’ll just contribute 1 Supply, and let someone else do the hard job”.

When I posted the Mission, I hadn’t realized taking a debt was a daily action. If it wasn’t, then a single Explorer could have completed the Mission, and be the only one to get the reward.

Proposalling to win isn’t alright but a watered down version of it is alright? (proposalling to get profit in stuff with positive connotation which contributes to winning)
