I deregistered to test non-player participation via the AFO, but if you're eligible via your recent CFJ (I doubt it, the intended reading is reasonably obvious) then so am I.

Heh, is c. arguing for what it's "supposed to mean" rather than what it says? :) I see the general linguistic arguments that you and Wooble have made, but logically the conditions: 1. Has been a player for 3 months continuously; 2. Was not a player before that continuous period; 3. Has not made an award; can all be logically satisfied even if the three month period is long in the past and even if that continuity (after the three months) was broken. Which is often enough for this Nomic, although, yes, of course I know what the rule is really *supposed* to say. -G.
Re: DIS: Re: BUS: Re: OFF: [Promotor] Distribution of Proposals 6583-6589
I think "has been a player continuously for X" is supposed to mean "is a player, and has been so continuously for X". e.g. if I deregister, I wouldn't say "I've been a player of Agora for three months."

That's not the way the rule reads: When a first-class person has been a player continuously for at least three months, was never a player before that period, and names another player as eir mentor (and has not named a mentor in this fashion before), the named player earns a White Ribbon. This seems to grandfather in everyone who was a player before the rule came to have this form. -G.

Not that I'm likely to have a No Confidence card fast enough to fulfill my pledge to try to become Registrar again, but consider this a campaign speech anyway. Anyway, previous mentors: pikhq named WALRUS, 20 Dec 2007 ais523 named Wooble, 15 Aug 2008 coppro named ais523, 21 Aug 2009 comex named Murphy, 24 Nov 2009

This is a nomic. We went out of our way to make voting manipulation cards. Make the win worthwhile: Kill a Bill or something. -G.

Funnily enough, the game is not run according to letting you get the ever-present next win you're always "so close to getting". Then again, maybe it is; that would explain the slow crawl of the game lately.

I vote FOR each proposal x my voting limit. I'm really annoyed at your attempt to repeal Ribbons (as part of 6586; mostly, I'm not annoyed) when I'm so close to a second win by Renaissance. There's a nomic thesis that I'm planning to write by the end of the month because it would be useful for things I do in RL as well (and that's the deadline for it); and the only other ribbon I'm missing is red, which I'll get as soon as last week's first distribution is assessed (I did a bit of a timing scam at the end there to force the proposal through for the ribbon; I treat my wins pretty seriously, and Renaissance is IMO the most interesting and difficult of them all to get in a non-scam way (apart from the scam-only ones). -- ais523
