Well, that was quite fun to write :)
This proposal is setting up a wiki page for tracking of public cult information, taking into consideration that the proposals “No overstuffed GNDT” is having an impact on that and on the “Infamy” rule.
Also, I think, the Auspex should also track the Headquarters of a Cult, so I added that to the rule “Cults”, in case the proposal “Free Personality Test Inside” should pass. (Remember, that that proposal does nothing, should the proposal “The End is Near” fail)
I hope the wording is understandable and contains no flaws I might have overseen :)

Wait, that timestamp is incorrect, I just submitted that post seconds ago, why is that the case or rather, how can it be fixed?

The time is tracked from when you open the “make new post” window, not from the time of posting. It’s completely unavoidable, and to date we have gotten around it by pretending it doesn’t happening and hoping the ruleset doesn’t notice.

against Because I still prefer the info to be in the GNDT.

Well, I think that while it stays simple, like with only storing the Infamy of Cults in the GNDT, that causes no problem, but should there be more information about the cults, it might be pretty much for the GNDT and just clearer and easier to read.

for  I’m all for simplicity as a new player, its easier for me to track a wiki page

against I’d prefer the GNDT or just Rule 2.1. Minimising the number of tabs you need to open to browse the entire gamestate is an important thing, I think.

against I know it’s self-killed already but I wanted to voice my opinion that the whole [STUFF_PASSED] / [STUFF_FAILED] thing could easily obfuscate some scam - I remember some C code with a lot of comments, and some apparent comments actually being code and some apparent code actually being comments; the scam was made obvious by any syntax-highlighting text editor, but I don’t have that for blognomic :)
