Proposal: Welcome to the Randomocracy

Quorumed, 13-2 -Darth

Adminned at 03 Jun 2010 14:58:54 UTC

If a Rule called “RNG-Man” exists, add a subrule to it.  Call it “Dictation” and give it the following text:

Whenever the RNG is required by the rules to make a DICE roll, the RNG may elect to specify a result.  To do so, the RNG replaces the string “DICE” in the roll with the string “FIAT”, then appends the desired result to the end of the roll.  The RNG may not choose any result that was not a possible result of the original roll.

As written, this doesn’t apply to rolls made by anyone besides the RNG.

Although, I think that that should be “must specify a result” as allowing a Random Number Generator to use a random number generator seems like cheating, somehow…

against I think it’s too early for this, as it severely limits what we allow the RNG to be able to do.  This might end up allowing the (human) RNG to decide who does well and who fails, which is probably not fun.

imperial  Abstaining. I like the idea, but I am, like Hix, afraid that I might be biased. If this passes, I’ll try to only use this for rolls that affect the entire community.

against I favor a more limited emperor, myself. :)

Narya: But that’s no fun for the emperor…

(Note: What this actually means is that I think that the emperor should, even when there’s a G-Man rule, have stuff to do. After all, eir emperorhood is a reward…)

CoV for  since I just noticed that I can only do it to my own rolls.

for on the basis that it sounds cool, and if the RNG isn’t an @ (per the previous proposal) then he probably can’t abuse it too much.

(Note: this is ineffective until an admin unidles me)

coppro: It’s ineffective anyway, you’ll need to revote. Do not use voting icons unless you’re active.

imperial I have faith that Darth should know whether we should have faith in his fairness.

imperial I have faith in faith of faithy faith..faith.

COV -> imperial per Put, since I have faith in his faith in Freezerbird’s faith in Darth’s faithfulness to fairness. Or something.
