Proposal: Zenith

Withdrawn. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 08 Oct 2021 08:41:28 UTC

Add the following paragraph to the beginning of the rule “Earthlink”:

If this rule is not at the top of the Dynastic Ruleset, any Citizen may move it there at any time.

In the rule “Earthlink”, after “This is publicly tracked.” add the following:

If every Floor in this Zone is Shorted Out, the Earthlink is always Unstable and cannot be made Stable. If every Floor in this Zone is a different Current’s Breaker, the Earthlink is always Stable and cannot be made Unstable.

In the same rule, replace the paragraph that begins “Each first time a Citizen changes location after the Earthlink becomes Unstable” with the following:

Each first time a Citizen changes Floor after the Earthlink becomes Unstable, their Doppelganger appears at their former Floor. Each subsequent time a Citizen changes Floor, their Doppelganger’s Floor is set to the previous Floor the Citizen was occupying. A Citizen is considered to be occupying their Doppelganger’s Floor for rules other than this one.

Move the rule “Earthlink” to the top of the Dynastic Ruleset.

Remove the Zone Rule “Blockade” from the Dynastic Ruleset.

Move lemon to Floor B4. Add a Taser to the Inventory of Brendan.

i think it’s very thematic if the earthlink system is always located at the top of the tower/ruleset; that way we’ve got our two fixed points set!

EDIT: added a rules fix, the repealment of “Blockade”, and the arranged-upon taser requested by my good pal brendan!

As the only occupant of the Floors zone, and thus the current wielder of a veto option on this proposal, I’d like to see provisions added to it that a) repeal Blockade and b) grant me a Taser.

my goodness! threatening my very own proposals!!

i accept your offer, so long as u also permit me to add a fix to some of the messy wording of the rule. i’d rather not make us all deal with an unstable earthlink while it’s still unclear how doppelgangers interact with their own locations. the fabric of spacetime would be in jeopardy!

Was thinking of proposing something like this myself. Kinda like Blockade though….

@redtara consider: if u were to make your own proposal to similar effect, brendan would still either have veto rights, or be freed from the blockade by zone movements! i dont think that we can afford to keep him barricaded up there much longer, considering he’s occupying some critical rules infrastructure

If the citizen is occupying their doppleganger’s floor, isn’t that the (one) floor that is publicly tracked as per:

“Each Citizen is on a Floor of Earthlink Tower, defaulting to Floor 1. A Citizen’s Floor is publicly tracked.”

so you wouldn’t have a doppleganger, just a delayed movement rule, because it doesn’t say ” A Citizen is *also* considered to be at…” [emphasis added] as does the former version.

I guess all I’m saying is that you could stand to throw in the word “also”.

Well, four hours are up, I was late to the party. I don’t like this proposal, it has words but doesn’t do much of anything. against

against Does look like “A Citizen is considered to be occupying their Doppelganger’s Floor for rules other than this one.” is going to immediately give everyone a null or default location.

against withdrawn then, bc given kevan’s point it would be much cleaner if the enaction of this proposal was a part of the enaction of the followup proposal :0
