Nomic Proposal #312

First, let me confess that I have not run this by my partner. This is because my partner seems to have disappeared. Should he show up on the scene, he may suggest improvements or alterations.

My proposal is that rule #107:

No rule-change may take effect earlier than the moment of the completion of the vote that adopted it, even if its wording explicitly states otherwise. No rule-change may have retroactive application.

Be transmuted from immutable to mutable.

I like it, but I'll hold off on an official vote just yet until I at least give Jared a chance to disagree with me first :)

I like it to, but I need to track down Mistress Babbles. I think she is off flirting with the Bands of Lollapalooza (with beer in hand). Every year Lollapalooza turns her into a beer drinking rock-on groupie. I'm willing to bet that butterfly isn't the only new ink she's got. :) If Mistress Babbles approves, I'm OK with it.

Yes! I approve.

I only wish I were still drinking beer with band members. I'm back to the daily grind at this point, and actually thrilled to have gotten off work early this evening so I could come home and do laundry.

*sob*

Edit: hang on.... I have a heavy head-cold this morning but didn't we already agree to this?

Yeah, check it out: passed.

Now it's mutable perhaps you want to mute it, C.?

Oh, crap...I really am a brainless wonder, these days (can I blame the headcold, too?). For some reason I thought that failed, and of course I didn't bother to check...*sigh*

OK, yes. I now that it is mutable, I would like to repeal it in its entirety.

    Dammit, that Doppelgänger I have been chasing through the space time continuum must have voted for me. The bastard. I mean, if this is a vote to repeal, I, not the Doppelgänger, vote "yes". That is as long as Mistress Babbles votes yes to repeal (of course).

    OMG, I don't even know what the hell is going on. That'll teach me to respond to something without reading the entire thread.

    I vote yes to whatever it is my partner voted yes to.

    Dammit, now there's a Mistress Babbles Doppelgänger! I have got to close the damn space time continuum portal before this gets out of control.

    I'll vote yes on the repeal tentatively. I see no reason why Myk would oppose it, so if he doesn't respond, it's safe to say he agreed with my vote.

    So I take it the motion passes unanimously? Is everyone aware their vote is to repeal the rule, rather than to transmute it?

    312 - 291 = 21, unanimous = +21 for Celestina & oldfogey.

    Um, has there been no playing of this game since 8-11-08?

    What? Real-world politics diverting your attention, everyone?

    Please continue!

    Maybe I should start my own game......

    Okay, I will.

    First I want to give Celestina a chance to regroup.

    I think Synthesis would be up for it too.

    Suggestion:: When this does come together, make an announcement article in which we can post some stuff. Like a call for who's interested in another try, and when we're available, and what time zones we're in, etc. It'll help team-making along.

    Go for it, guys. I would love to play but I hardly ever come by NV anymore so I would probably slow the game down. Do let me know when you get it going, though, as I would love to check in on it and see how it goes.
