I am curious as to why you folks didn't like this proposal?
If there was any thing about it that could be changed that would make you
like it, please let me know.

 Proposal 4322
 Belly Up to the Bore, Boys
 Slakko
 Due: Fri Aug 20 15:01:33 1999
 Sphere: Wombles of Wibbledon
 Status: rejected

 Create a new Rule, numbered 2-1-5, with the title "Bore Bets", and the
 following HAH-delimited text:
 
 HAH
 
 If a Proposal currently under consideration is not the subject of a Bore
 Bet, any player other than its author may make it the subject of a Bore
 Bet as a public action.  The player who makes the Bore Bet shall be known
 as the Gambling Bug of that proposal.
 
 When proposal voting results are announced, if a proposal is boring then
 its Gambling Bug, if such exists, shall receive 10 points, while if a
 proposal is not boring then its Gambling Bug, if such exists, shall lose 5
 points.
  
 [Only accepted proposals are boring, so there needs to be a smaller
 penalty for guessing failures.]
 
 HAH
  
 [I just feel that someone should be able to get some points when we have a
 boring proposal.  Note that there is a Hubert condition, but if people get
 sick of those who Hubert Bore Bets there is a simple solution - either
 kill off the proposal or vote more than 60 on it to make sure it isn't
 boring.]

Proposal 4333
"Slightly more truth to be sought"
A German Dog
Due: Fri Aug 27 17:02:42 1999
Sphere: Hypnotist of Ladies

Amend rule 7-14-10 (Otzma Card of Type Truthseeker) by replacing the
following CURRENT delimited text
CURRENT
   The Scholar of *ping* shall, within 3 days of the Card taking effect,
   privately post T words from the Machine's truth, undisguised, to the
   player who played the Card. Such post shall also unambiguously specify
   where each word is located in the Truth.
CURRENT
with the following BETTER delimited text
BETTER
   The Scholar of *ping* shall, within 3 days of the Card taking effect,
   choose T different words at random from the Machine's undisguised truth
   and post them privately to the player who played the Card.   Such
   post shall also unambiguously specify where each word is located in
   the Truth.
BETTER

{{[
    This makes even a low cost (ie 1 word) truthseeker card potentially
    able to give useful information.   Higher cost cards are still more
    useful.
