BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

The actual issue behind the notive is that some Groups aren’t adding their new Visitors to the Stamps table at all.

as the final sentence is ineffective, so this proposal’s actual effect is to leave some Visitors with a stamp they didn’t do anything to earn but that new Visitors can’t obtain.

I don’t agree that the last clause is ineffective; once the rule text that defines Z-stamps is repealed, three tracked marks are no longer Z-stamps, as those don’t exist. They can at that stage be removed by anybody without the clause being present in this proposal just as a matter of gamestate cleanup but it doesn’t hurt to have the line in here as a reminder for the enacting admin.

*three -> these

They’re still defined. They are stamps. They are in collections. They have the Z letter, which is currently the default letter associated with stamps, associated with them as allowed by the ruletext defining stamps.

If Bucky is tired of tracking default stamps, he can raise the Proposal he needs. Otherwise, I don’t care either way.

[Jonathan] The act of awarding a Z stamp isn’t performed by any particular player, it happens automatically when the Visitor is created - so, implicitly, it should really be noted by the creating player. But if people are forgetting and it’s adding no additional information to the game (as it applies to all Visitors), maybe we should drop it.
