As the next person to post, I choose to fail this proposal.

That makes:

Ric: -5
Minichef: -2
Monty: 12
Moontide: -3 (13*(1/2))-10

[Moontide]

And it is Ric's turn.

[minichef]

I am confused with moontide's points. What does all this jumbled mess of numbers mean?

[ric]

Yes, I'm confused as well...where does 13 come from?

[Monty]

His proposal was #304 and 291-304=13.

[ric]

Oh...I thought it was 202... or something. I get it now though.

Can I propose 2 rules at a time?

#301: It costs 5 points to make a proposal.

#302: A player can take out a loan from a fellow player, at an interest rate of their choosing, or take out a loan from the bank. Bank loans will have 5% interest. All interest will take place after one round of turns [I'm not sure of the exact terminology, but I mean to say that the amount to be repayed will increase by the interest rate once every round of turns]. The person who played directly before the player requesting a loan will be in charge of keeping track of the loan, and making sure the player pays it back.

[Monty]

No, you can't.

proposing one rule-change and having it voted on

(Emphasis mine.)

[ric]

Okay, so forget 302, let's just stick with 301. Since loans among players are not prohibited by the rules, they are allowed. (116)

I propose to make this rule:
#301: It costs 5 points to make a proposal.

[Monty]

Remember, there is a penalty if your proposal doesn't pass, and because no rule has been made to say otherwise, you have to make one proposal per turn.

[ric]

Hmmm, yes, good point. Never mind, lol. New rule.


#301: Every turn, each players points increase by 10%.

And would that be called #301, or number #305?

[Monty]

It would be rule 305.

[Moontide]

Would that mean that if one has -100 points, one would then have -110 points or -90 points next turn?

[ric]

Would that mean that if one has -100 points, one would then have -110 points or -90 points next turn?

-90, because it's an increase of 10%. If it were an addition of %10 it would be -110.

[Moontide]

Then I vote Aye.

[minichef]

I vote "aye".

[Monty]

I feel a need to vote "Nay," because of the confusion when taking into account negative numbers. And, whenever I read your proposal, it seems as if you want to give every player an extra 10%, every time a rule is proposed.

[Moontide]

Then the bill passes. The score is now:

Ric: -4.5 (-5 + 10%) + 10.5 ((305 - 291) * 3/4) = 6
Minichef: -1.8 (it is a non-integer because rule 305 says nothing about rounding)
Monty: 13.2 + 10 (per rule 204) = 23.2
Moontide: -2.7

[Monty]

Sorry, I meant the addition to rule 202 regarding mail and computer games.

[minichef]

Whose turn is it now?

[Moontide]

It is minichef's turn.
