A Semantic Game

@Leira has been elected to frolick.

I’m frolicking. So I’ll fulfill my campaign promise and enact the rule as stated before.

Additionally, I delete rule 9. I was thinking of sniping something at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, when it would have become a free-for-all, but decided against it.

I would like to be elected to propose the following rule:

If this rule is deleted, the game is terminated and every former winner loses.

In true democratic fashion, I’ll leave setting up the election to an independent faction.

Also, I just made an oops and will do my duty.

1… 2… 3… 4… 5…

@Vsotvep has asked for election. I’ll set up a 20 minute poll

Should Vsotvep be allowed to frolick?

  • Aye
  • Nay

I’m sad that rules #7 and #9 no longer exist. D:

Those were my fav rules.

You could reinstate them. I don’t think there are any rules against that.

Actually, now that I think about it, by rule 16 they cannot be reinstated…

but then I would have to remove a rule

If I may be very pedantic (and @yebellz does not sue me for it), the rules that were deleted were simply deleted. They don’t exist anymore (kept only for historical purposes). So they can’t be reinstated, instead they’d have to be created again? At least that is my legalistic interpretation.

However, not all rules were deleted, some were revoked, which I guess could potentially be reinstated as such. However, the ones that were revoked all contain someone’s name, so they’d have no effect.

I’m adding a subclause to rule 16:

16a The only exception of this rule is rule number 7.

Since rule 9 was deleted, it doesn’t exist anymore, so sadly there can be no consequences of rule 7.

I have been elected to frolick, but I am no despot. I will propose the new rule I promised.

Also, I will go to bed now.

I will amend the Original rule (because there are no rules against that) by adding a subclause:

Any change in the ruleset can only be made if a rule explicitly allows it. Wiki edits may only reflect legitimate changes.

But before I do that, I’ll put rule 17 “On hold” (meaning it is an enacted rule, but is not yet in effect). That’s right, I have finally become a filibuster :no_mouth:.

This is scandalous! How dare you obstruct the democratic method? I have been lawfully elected, my rule should be active!

I demand that the arbiter will look at this blatant abuse!

Are you tired of being lawyer’d to the ground? Have your favorite rules been legalise’d into oblivion by out-of-touch politicians?

Join the NLP now.

I am Leira, and I’m announcing the creation of a new party. In order to do so I step down from my referee position to become a regular player.
The NLP (No-Loopholes Party) runs on the following platform:

  • No loopholes.
  • Perpetual game.
  • Equality under the rules.

Registrations are open

  • I want to join the NLP.
  • N/A

I see that while I was away a plan was ordealed to take down my benign reign of peace. I attribute this hateful act to the preposterous formulation of rule 16 by Leira, who supposedly means to institute a new, preternatural reign of terror under the appearence of a democracy. But We won’t be fooled by their mischievous words, and declare hereby the birth of a new party, the NLP (No-Leira Party), also known as the PIG (PiggyStardust Is Great).
I know, the creation of factions in a peaceful community is always lamentable, but the last seditious events bring me to say that hard times require hard measures. Therefore I’ll propose you a democratic election:

  • I want to join the PIG (PiggyStardust Is Great)
  • I want to join the NLP (No-Leira Party)

Make Piggy great again!

After being informed in detail about what happened, I came to know that the real responsible for the attack to Our greatness is Vsotvep. This doesn’t mean that We were wrong, though, since Leira’s rule only reinforces this despicable affront. And as it’s clear that this new union of forces is already threatened by internal disagreement, why join it?

Join the PIG!

Democracy by vote does not reflect the will of the mass, but the will of those with enough means to influence the mass. Down with parties! Down with elections! Representatives shall be chosen by Lot, so everybody may assume responsability; decisions shall be reached by consensus instead of bribing of lackeys!

Stick with me, and you shall never go hungry again!

I wish to be elected in order to establish the following proposed rule:

Whenever you read this rule, you must write at least one post in this thread!! (Yes, I mean you!)

… is anyone willing to run my election campaign?

Edit: I added two “!” to make it 78 characters :slight_smile:

Justice is being threatened, as you can see. Alliances need to be made to reestablish order. This is not the time to say no to the just claims of the people! If you support the PIG, you’ll have a powerful and generous ally who shall advocate your cause.
