The ruleset has no floors, walls, or ceilings, so I thought we could start
from the ground up.
Also "Each time a player fulfills a scoring condition, the officer
associated with the condition CAN once by announcement, and SHALL in an
officially timely fashion, add to that player's score the associated amount
of points, rounded down" just sounds strange to me.

I submit the below proposal, and then pay a pendant to pend it:

Title: Scoring Integer Points
Author: secretsnail

AI : 1.0

{

Amend Rule 2657 (Scoring) by replacing "add to that player's score the
associated amount of points" with "add to that player's score the floor

of

the associated amount of points".

(This would let players score points for proposals with non-integer

AIs.)

im telling on myself here but idk what 'the floor' means in this

context. i

assume it's mathematical?



"The floor of X" means "X rounded down to the nearest integer". Ceiling is
the same, but rounded up. They pop up in math and computer programming.

-Aspen



i'd prefer it written out like that because i wouldn't really understand
its meaning if i read it in the ruleset. but it has been pended already so
no big deal, it's just me being a word person instead of a numbers person.

obviously its a very necessary bugfix anyway.


I knew the meaning from both math and programming, but I still think it 
would look and flow better to express it as "rounded down".

"The floor of X" means "X rounded down to the nearest integer". Ceiling is
