Proposal: Vandalism!

Times out and fails 4-4 with one abstain -Bucky

This Proposal is considered to be Spam.

Create a new rule, “Stitch Doctor”:

As a weekly action, a Healthy Survivor can attempt to heal another Survivor that is Fallen. To do so, the Healthy Survivor makes a Fitness test and reduces the Food and Water by DICE10. If the test is passed, the Fallen Survivor’s status is set to Wounded.

 

As you see, this proposal has a perfectly valid effect on the game, and thus cannot be considered spam. Except it makes itself spam upon approval. PARADOX.

against .  A passed proposal being ‘considered to be spam’ isn’t relevant once it has already been enacted.

Spam, as in the food made famous by Monty Python?

If this proposal fails, it will be my last attempt to try to make fair rules for the living (they don’t seem to appreciate it!)

Also: There should be brain-flavored luncheon meat.

for The proposal is reasonable; the paradox attempt is weird, though. (It fails to cause a paradox as changes made by a proposal don’t affect the proposal’s enactment unless the proposal specifically says otherwise, by the way.)

@ais: but this proposal specifically affects itself with it’s effect. It says “This Proposal”. That sounds very specific.

It’s not a paradox, because “this proposal has a perfectly valid effect on the game, and thus cannot be considered spam” is false. Just because something has a valid effect on the game does not mean it can’t be spam.

Or have you forgotten your own dynasty?

Also, what exactly is “luncheon meat”??? Is that a British/Canadian/Australian/New Zealandic-only term?

No, it’s a non-Darth Cliche term.
