Create a new rule numbered K21 with the following WORROMOT-delimited text. WORROMOT category: Rules about the Game State. Players may make changes to the Game State, as they are described in the rules, via a Public Message. All passages of text describing actions of the player are considered to be the attempt of performing the action. The player is successful, if and only if the intended action does not conflict with the existing rules. The change to the Game State is then applied. Several changes are checked against the rules and applied in the order of their description. Any action is considered to happen after that the player has sent eir respective message. WORROMOT [I discovered that the rules don't even describe how a player may perform the actions, he is allowed to do. (with a few exceptions like joining, leaving, CFJs, fiddling) This is why I included this part in the proposal. The most importanst part however is that messages are considered to be descriptions of future, not past, actions. This will clarify the Texas/heat-problem. Note that it would have required Thomas to describe his fiddling in a separate action.] ------------------------------ Subject: Acka: Proposal 107 accepted From: ackabot+kernel@ackanomic.org Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1999 14:53:59 -0500 (EST) Proposal 107 Yes/No vote totals: 9-2: proposal accepted Yes: else...if (4) Dragon Mage (1) relet (2) IdiotBoy (2) No: ThinMan (2) Abstain /dev/joe (2) Calvin N Hobbes (1) 404 Not Found (1) rufus (1) Robert Sevin (1) two-star (1) null (3) Fortunato (1) Malenkai (2) Reductio (1) 3.14159...
