I like the spirit of this, of us going through language contortions when playing as a way to distinguish that we are playing a game. I'd love a different honorific than "the right honorable", since that has connections to legal trials and senate hearings and I personally want nomic to feel different than that. Perhaps something distinct, but silly, like "My kind nomic neighbor".

For the penalty, you could do this exquisite corpse style and put in some detail that isn't defined yet, so the person after has that as an inspiration for their rule. For example, "If this honorific is not given, then the speaker is given one(1) snub disk, the effect of which is covered in another rule."

a hearty aye

Because of 108 and the confusion around how the rules combine it seems to me that amendments should be submitted by changing the ordinal number of a rule as well as changing the text of it rather than as a separate line item.

I agree with this, @soggypretzels. A fair amount of the confusion is the medium in which we're playing this game. I read Mix's call for voting within Patchwork, which said "I've gone for something simple to keep us moving." So I approached Rule 304 as a change to 301 to simplify it. If 304 passed, 301 would no longer exist as a rule. I mistakenly forgot the importance of 301' first sentence about which rules take precedence and assumed 304 would take precedence over 203.

My ideal would be for 304 to amend 301 and 203 and in the end only 304 exists, so we would not have to worry of precedence. These rules, to me, are way too similar to be useful(if they all exist together).

As a general note: personally, I am not seeing this game as being an infinite sustainable thing. I do not mind if the rules get so convoluted or contradictory that we've made the whole game unplayable. When that happens, we just end it, start over, and try again. But I want this game to be strange and wonderful and fun--morphing into some unique beast that only this group understands cos we grew along with it. Any rule that simplifies the current state so we can reach that faster I will be all for. Right now it kinda feels like we said, "Hey! let's go grab a drink at a bar." but then instead of picking a place we decided to first learn every municipal zoning law so we could theorize where a bar could exist.

I vote aye, mostly because this is simply written, while still leaving some creativity between "active players" and "people who voted". I feel like this helps keep the game moving without us spending a lot of time discussing the voting rights of any particular player. I also like, if I understand amendments properly, that this would remove the 24 hour time frame from 301--I feel this gives more flexibility for discussion around a vote.

I like it. And will vote aye for it!

Aye

(this is my first time using git-ssb. I apologize for that accidental close!)

Just for clarity's sake, does the 24 period start the moment a pull request is created? And so, if a turn is defined in #202 as 1.) proposing a rule and voting 2.) calculating points, then would a player's turn(and the 24 hours) begin the moment they submit their pull request? In this case (if I'm reading the timestamp correctly) it looks like we are about 4 hours into our 24 hours.
