Proposal: Who’d bring rotten vegetables to a Theater?

7-0. Timed Out.—Chronos

Remove the phrase “and any role that is not an Acclaimed Role is an Unacclaimed Role” from Critic Acclaim

Add to the end of the main text of Critics:

For any purposes any role in an Actor’s Filmography that is neither an Acclaimed Role nor a Tomatoed Role is an Unacclaimed Role.

Add a sub-rule Rotten Tomatoes to Critics

An Actor is “Tomatoed” if both of the following conditions are true:
- e is not, at that time, disqualified from earning a Tomato, and
- e makes a Proposal that passes, but both Critics vote “AGAINST” the Proposal (or cast votes that have the effect of votes AGAINST the Proposal).
Upon an Actor earning a “Tomato”, e must select a role in eir Filmography and add the text “Tomatoed” to eir Filmography in reference to that role. This action is defined as earning a Tomato with respect to that role. A role that has earned Tomato is defined as a Tomatoed Role. An Actor may not earn a Tomato more than once with respect to a particular role. An Actor may not earn a Tomato for a film in which e was an Extra.
An Actor is disqualified from earning a Tomato for so long as any of the following are true:
- there are fewer than two Critics, or
- e has no Unacclaimed Roles in eir Filmography.

As written, a particular role can become both an Acclaimed Role and a Tomatoed Role.

untrue actually.  Only an “unclaimed role” can become tomatoed.  the last line of the rule.

Not so, Amnistar.  “e has no Unacclaimed Roles in eir Filmography” doesn’t mean that only an unclaimed role can become tomatoed—Assume that I’ve got two non-extra roles in my filmography.  One is acclaimed, and the other is unacclaimed.  If I become eligible to become tomatoed, nothing in this rule prevents me from choosing to apply the tomatoing to the acclaimed role rather than to the unacclaimed role.

Oh…that’s true.  YOu’re right Spike :p.  Well, it happens…different critics with different opinions…

for I was going to vote against this, but reading spike’s comment about the strangeness intrigued me… I want to see someone try to break the game with this rule. (Muhahahaha….)
