>receipt of both sets of words, each Round shall consist of the following

>
>1) Each players posts a Salvo.  In the first round, this shall be a
>   6-word Salvo; in subsequent rounds, the base number of words for
>   a Salvo is 5 for the second round, 4 for the third round, and 3
>   thereafter; however, for each error noted by the Referee in the
>   other player's reply for the previous round, e may add another word
>   to eir salvo.
>2) Each player posts a Reply to the other player's Salvo.
>3) The Referee verifies that these Replies are correct, or, if a Reply is
>   not correct, posts the correct Reply and announces how many errors
>   that Reply contained.  (The number of errors in a Reply is how many
>   numbers must be changed in the salvo for it to be correct.  If the
>   correct Reply for a word is "5,1,0", then "2,1,0" would contain 1
>   error, "2,2,2" 3 errors, "3,2,1" 2 errors, etc.)
>
>It is permissible for rounds to overlap; for instance, if one player
>has already received a Reply to eir salvo for one round(verified by
>the Referee), but has not yet replied to the other player's salvo, e
>may post a salvo for the next round if e wishes, without, for instance,
>waiting for the Referee's verification of eir Reply.  Each round begins
>once the Referee has verified both player's Replies for that round,
>and shall last no longer than three days.
>
>If the time runs out for a round, then: Any player who has not posted a
>salvo has forfeitied eir Salvo for that round.  If any player has not
>posted a Reply to a Salvo, then the Referee shall post a Reply, and
>the number of errors in the Reply is considered to be the number of
>words in the Reply.  (That is, if one player posts a 4-word Salvo and
>the other player does not reply, then e gets 4 extra words in eir next
>Salvo.)  A player may not post a Salvo until after the Referee has
>verified their opponent's Reply for the previous round.
>
>Each time a verified Reply to a player's Salvo indicates that some word
>has crashed 5 times with the opponent's target word, and this word
>has never been part of a previous salvo, then that player receives a
>Gamepoint.  If, at the end of a round of Replies, one or both Replies
>indicate that a player has received eir third Gamepoint, then the game
>has been won.  If only one player has three Gamepoints at the end of that
>round, then that player has won the game.  If both players have three
>Gamepoints at the end of that round, and one player's third Gamepoint
>was awarded for a word higher up in eir Salvo than the other player's
>third Gamepoint word, then the former player wins.  If both players'

>then the player who was first to post eir last Salvo wins.

>The Referee shall then announce the winner and reveal the Target Words

Proposal 3697
Let's try a different tack then
Rambo R Minuteman
Due: Sun Nov  1 18:45:36 1998

This is a modest proposal.

[I don't think it's any secret that I would like to see rule 1060
repealed. Wild Card however, continually claims e will start one up.
This puts a time limit on this. If it's still lying useless next year
then it would be repealed.]

Create a new rule numbered 1061 entitled "Should I stay or Should I go?"
reading as follows.

"At one second past midnight on the first of January 1998, if there is
only one rule with the base rule number 1060 [i.e. the rule suite head
exists but there are no other rules in the rule suite] then that rule
shall be repealed.

At two seconds past midnight on the same day this rule shall repeal
itself regardless of whether it first repeals any other rule."

 Fine vote for this.  I agree with this.  If I can't get one working by
then then that is fine.

Create a new rule numbered 1061 entitled "Should I stay or Should I go?"

reading as follows.

"At one second past midnight on the first of January 1999, if there is
only one rule with the base rule number 1060 [i.e. the rule suite head
exists but there are no other rules in the rule suite] then that rule
shall be repealed.

At two seconds past midnight on the same day this rule shall repeal
