> *7342 2.0 Machiavel Vvloppiness If I'm not mistaken, since Proposal 7342 "Vvloppiness" was resolved *after* Proposal 7348 "Fixed vvlop fixes?", which was intended to clean up after it, we now have two rules titled "Ordinary Chamber" that very much contradict each other. The fixed version of "Ordinary Chamber" takes precedence over the unfixed version, but does not completely nullify it. The consequences of the unfixed version are:
* For every proposal enacted, its author and co-author gain twice as many VCs as they're supposed to. * A person may increase a second-class player's VVLOP by spending only one VC. (However, this is ultimately inconsequential: second-class players are not eligible voters on ordinary decisions, and by Rule 683, non-eligible voters cannot submit ballots *and* have a voting limit of zero.) Ultimately, there is no huge effect. Nevertheless, I'll submit a proposal to repeal the unfixed "Ordinary Chamber" before I next distribute proposals. I notice that even in the fixed version of the rule, it is possible in theory for a player to gain an arbitrary number of VCs by creating a large number of golems and declaring them co-authors of a single proposal. In practice, such a proposal seems unlikely to pass. I recommend that Murphy be granted the Patent Title "Vvloopps". —Machiavelli
