[SombreChapaeu]

Respectfully If at all possible I would like to join this meta-slature
If this is allowably then,
 I, SombreChapaeu, hereby submit the following motion for the application of punishment for this game, this motion will be dubbed dubbed Slative Punishment, for the court to judge:                             
   This motion is set forth with the principle of creating a commitee of 3 members to form rules to bring up the Accusation, Trial, and Punishment of members of the group for various criminal acts to be defined by the Legislature.                       
   I respectfully ask all members of the court to carefully consider its merits and cast their vote accordingly.

I respectfully ask all members of the court to carefully consider its merits and cast their vote accordingly.

Heyy everyone.  I'm going to be super busy for about a week or two.

I don't know whether you'd rather put this game on ice until I get back or elect a new Judge.

I'm really sorry about it all, but I have a lot on my plate after/during the holidays and stuff.  I'll be back eventually though!

It's been awhile.  Thank you, qwerty, for the bumps.  I might not have come back except for that. -_-

qwertyuiopas
"alternate home"

I have the perfect place for it... But as I said earlier, my concerns are the fact that we might not get the same continued inflow of traffic like before.


Tylui
"Clean Rules"

This is the first step in my plan to massively restructure the Rules for ease of reading and ease of extendability.


Serg
"Masonry"

I guess it would be nice to do something with the random resources...


Frelock
"Withdrawal"

There's not really much of a point for this Rule.  If people use this, then they lose all of their stuff in case they ever want to come back...  Who would want to do that?

I think a completely different solution we need is to purge old, inactive people from the Player records.  Maybe 3 or 5 Turns old...?


Pandarsenic
"Icon"

I like it.  I'm totally putting it in my sig everywhere I go. :3


webadict
"Type Additions"

These are okay.  Maybe you could describe them a little more to help me understand the full impact and implications of the Proposition?

[Tylui]

So I realize I was gone for a long time, but I was hoping that at least qwerty would keep goin' with it, since he was bumping it.

[Pandarsenic]

So how 'bout that Icon size, guys?

[qwertyuiopas]

I don't know...

[qwertyuiopas]

Bump and an answer:
No more than 80 pixels tall, but could be shorter(DF forums sig picture rule)

[Tylui]

Alright so I wasn't going to advance until more people participated in the discussion phase, but I might just go ahead and skip it if nobody responds in awhile...

[Tylui]

Alright, I guess I've waited long enough. I suppose there won't be any more discussion!

352. yes
353. no
354. yes
355. yes
356. no
357. no

(I think that was how voting worked...)

[Tylui]

Oh boy... Right back to my denying ways...

So I guess 80 by 80 was the agreed upon Icon size? Also, I'm putting in 15 points for the winner of the icon suggestion. We should have filled those out in the Discussion phase...

And as for the Withdrawal Prop, I'll say 3 turns. Any objections to those decisions just let me know and we can discuss.

352. Yes
353. Yes
354. No
355. No
356. Yes
357. No
