For now. They have plans to change the GAS acronym, causing support amongst some and outcry amongst others (I'm in the latter group).

The insane population creep is the only part of the game that breaks all models and I've known strong stat players who flat out ignore it because it just makes no sense, so mechanisms that adjust it would actually be kinda cool.

I didn't think this would go anywhere but apparently it has. And looking at some of the members in this Council I guess my only question would be if appeal to the moderators is still permissible, given the obvious bias and history of feuds with large segments of the General Assembly community that is present among certain of those chosen.

Unlike many players here, I generally agreed with mod rulings (the honest mistake rule was an exception). I would like to know the likelihood that the Council will revisit some of these decisions and possibly reverse them.

That is still being discussed. The consensus seems to be that we'll use previous rulings for non-binding instruction, but most previous precedent will not bind us. Take that with a grain of salt for two reasons: 1. this is not set in stone yet, and we might not end up going down that road and 2. if we do go down that road, radically departing from precedent is probably not terribly likely in most cases. When we have reached a final conclusion about how we plan on treating past rulings, we'll let you all know.

Alright. Well, when you guys have decided, let us know. There are a few positions that Secretariat members held positions on that contradicted the mods and my own position.

Is this an issue players will receive the opportunity to comment on, given the immensely deleterious effect on the WA that encouraging private legality challenges has had?
