Money is not relevent for us, were superrich hollywood stars

I liked this in its first form, so

.

I nominate ‘Dollars’ for our currency. How pedestrian!

Megabucks sounds like a good unit name. And it’s just vague enough to work!

I recommend “Grand” for the currency name.

I recommend that this rule is silly. 

Currency makes perfect sense for a Hollywood-genre game.  In the real Hollywood, there are several ways of keeping score: how much money you have, what’s your asking price for your next picture, how many awards or nominations you have, who you’re banging, and how quickly can you get a table at Spago.

I propose we name the currency…influence within the Church of Scientology…just kidding folks. This looks better than its predecessor.  I’m for the pound sterling or the yen. Just for fun, you know.

I like megabucks too.  Like he said, doesn’t really have any concrete meaning (yes mega, a million, but…) and it sounds Hollywoodly.

I’m changing my nomination to ‘megabucks’!

nomination: the pound sterling

I dislike having a unit for currency. I’m unsure that there are ways to use it that haven’t been seen before.

MEGABUCKS ARE GO!

It should be about Fame, not Wealth.

I’m fine with money as long as it is not the ultimate goal. Actors who move to Hollywood are generally extremely poor, and they would have to work a job on top of auditioning for bum rolls to try to make the rent check every month. Money won’t help make you a star really, but it would help you survive.

Fine, Megabucks, for the sake of unamity.

You have incurred my wrath for arbritrarily trying to disallow those of us who vote from having a say in the naming of the currency.  Fortunately (as I assume that Excalabur noticed), you do not require the comments to contain _counted_ FOR votes.  I nominate “Spam” for the unit of currency.

  I nominate “Spam” for the unit.  Oh, my….  Things could get messy in this proposal.

But I now nominate ‘cuttlefish’, which will eat Hix’s ‘Spam’, bwahaha!

Think you’re tricky, eh Hix? ;)

The leader of the pack for currency names is “megabucks”, with 4. Next, we have Pounds Sterling, with 3 (that’s my nomination). I’m not counting “spam”, because that’s dumb and doesn’t come from people who voted “for”.

  Spam.

I was also agrivated by the people voting against not having a say.

If you don’t want it to happen at all, what’s the point of your voting on what to call it? “I don’t want it to happen, but if it does happen, I want it to happen this way.” Sort of weakens your position, doesn’t it?

I dont want it to happen, but if it HAS to happen, I should have some say in what its called.  Since If it does happen Im still going to be playing in a game with it in.

Spam is a protest vote, since the proposal was deliberatly written so that those who dont want it done get a say in what it is called if it does pass.

  Spam, and it should be counted.

  Spam, and it should be counted.

  Spam, and it should be counted. (thrice)

Cuttlefish!

Wheeeeeee

Cuttlefish!

Cuttlefish!

There. I’ve nominated ‘cuttlefish’ in these last three votes.

Multiple votes don’t count either.

Not sure about that. The text reads

All comments containing For votes should also contain a nomination for the unit.

not

All comments containing counted FOR votes should also contain a nomination for the unit.

Read it literally. ;)

Actually by the definition of the rules a vote is any vote at all.  It is just not counted if there is a more recent one.  Since we have not been limited here to counted for votes, I think that this is valid

Yeah, ChinDoGu, that seems right to me. One may of course raise a Call for Judgment if there is any disagreement on that bit afterwards.

Oh.

I think our currency should be yen.

  Disney Dollars (seems very hollywood to me)

  No actually monopoly money.

  Or beads, we could measure wealth in beads.

Fame > Wealth

Okay, seriously, people stop posting multiple comments or comments with a non-counted For vote. I think you could make a case for these people being called trolls—they’re clogging up a vote by voting multiple times and making joke nominations for currency name.

As far as I can tell, so far, it’s 8-6 against. People have confused the vote with multiples and CoVs, so tell me if I’m wrong.

Uh, I’m not sure that that’s entirely fair, alethiophile - they’re performing a valid game action, and this game in particular has a long history of exploiting unintended consequences of hastily written proposals / rules. Furthermore, I think that Grasshopper and Chronos both have a substantial enough play history to make accusations of trollishness faintly absurd. If you don’t like their joke - and admittedly it’s lost some of its charm for me, too - then simply self-kill it and re-propose it, with tighter wording.

You are right though Josh—it is getting a little silly at this point.

This is hereby self-killed. There are enough people here who are willing to disrupt the process in order to get their way that I see I have to leave no room for interpretation.

Haha. This topic made me laugh. I read late last night after the superbowl, and didn’t get it due to being tired. Now I am inwardly cracking up. Don’t leave loopholes in your posts!

I wonder if this thread hits our record for greatest number of comments. ;)

Still a and I’m with Spam now!
