[RULES DISCUSSION] Fixing a typo? Bicker for months

[Separatist Peoples]

Added votes so far (Tinfect being latest). Also, anyone putting in a number other than the options given, gets put in option 4 (*glares at SP and Banana*). If someone starts putting in strange numbers like the pi or e or such, I'll just ignore them. If we want any changes made, we need to actually be serious about making them.

I don't want option 4. I want option J-5. If it doesn't exist, then I abstain entirely!

I don't have a horse in this race, so don't count my vote.

[Bananaistan]

Option 2. That whole first bit is extraneous and redundant.

[Bears Armed]

Option 1.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Option 1, absent removal of the stupid etymology filler from both the contradiction and duplication rules. Snout-counting should not be necessary for a change this simple.

[States of Glory WA Office]

Option i.

[Wallenburg]

My vote is option 2

Option 5 for me.

I support Option 1

So much for "A change we can probably all agree on".

You were saying?

[Auralia]

In addition to the proposed change, I would like to suggest the addition of a 'Repetition' rule:

'Resolutions are not allowed to repeat the mandates of prior resolutions, render prior resolutions redundant through their active clauses, overlap with prior resolutions or repeat the mandates of prior resolutions.'

I just want to be on record as opposing this proposed change for the reasons I outline in this post.

[Cekoviu]

Option 1.

[Araraukar]

Added votes for up to Cekoviu (though I've no idea who you are, your vote's been counted anyway), moved Banana's to an actual choice and removed SP's (and sent it back to him with extreme prejudice).

Just wondering if I dare to poke Fris for a vote... Wrapper's not as intimidating.

I'm offended. Though I'm a leftist, so I'm technically offended by everything.

Not necessarily a good thing to post, it sounds a bit baity either way. And in any case, my memory with names is so bad that me not remembering you isn't any kind of offense.

Baiting myself? :thinking:
I was just joking anyway, I'm new here.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Still nothing.

[Desmosthenes and Burke]

Option 2, though Option 1 is second best.

[Excidium Planetis]

Still nothing.

Bureaucracy at its finest.

Iron cage, amirite?

[Kenmoria]

Option i.

Option e^iπ+2

It equals one

[Cekoviu]

Option i.

Option e^iπ+2

It equals one

Personally, I prefer option ((Σ(x/σ+ x̅))/n²)/(x̅σ) - √n̅.

It's also approximately 1, if I did the math right.

[Imperium Anglorum]

I don't understand the point of Ara throwing in a bunch of red herrings (well, beyond his famed obstructionism) so there is a majority against any one option. Effect the changes noted in the OP.

It seems like most of us are agreeing with your changes anyway, albeit using complex mathematical equations and imaginary numbers.

My exquisite sense of humor is entirely wasted on you people, I swear.

[Imperium Anglorum]

You should be oriented, perhaps to the east. Anyway, I agree that it is extraneous and redundant. But it is consistent with the text of the contradiction rule. Propose elimination in both rules, and then I will happily support such a change.

Happily.

According to the ol' map, I am facing some degrees north of east this very moment, though not directly toward the Orient. (I can't give an exact measurement because there must be a godawful huge electrical conduit or something about a meter to my right which is throwing off my phone's compass entirely).

[Mallorea and Riva]

What is the upside of making the change?
