Proposal: Two can play at this game

Times out 3-6 and fails. -coppro

If the ruleset contains the text

When a Driver drives an Active Golden Route, if they have at least four other Golden Routes in their pool, they achieve victory.

change it to

If a driver has driven at least five golden routes since he last requested assignment he achieves victory. Golden Routes become blocked instead of inactive when driven.

Considering Bucky made a proposal that failed, and then proposed the same thing again to try and have more time to convince people to change their votes I have no problem in doing the same to get it repelled. There is no good reason for this change. The theme of the dynasty is about being a taxicab driver and *driving* routes. This turns the goal into merely *having* routes. Both goals fit the theme, in my mind, but one was there first and effected people’s playing style. Bucky’s only complain was that having a more limber pool is mandatory, but the rule had been long enough for anyone to limber up their pool. All this does is just reward bad playing styles.

against This is ridiculous. I want to play a game, not fight an edit war.

Well, apparently Bucky’s second proposal had been timed out for 12h before ais523 voted for it…
Well, I still have a bit of a dilemma: I’m apparently of those you say have a “bad playing style”, but it wouldn’t seem fair for me to vote against this time.
Urrrrrrrrrrh
Let’s say my change of vote counterbalances Pavitra’s, and I’m not taking any side in this.

(And yeah, I, as well, want to play a game, not fight an edit war. Is there a :DOWNARROW: ?)

@Pavitra if this proposal fails I’m not going to keep pulling a Bucky and propose it again, but its not like there are currently a ton of proposals, nor does this stop you from playing the game. All it does is fix a bad rule change.
