Taral's not eligible (was previously a player from 3 Apr 00 to 13 Dec

fulfill my pledge to try to become Registrar again, but consider this

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.

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.

To be precise:
 I was (had been) a player from Feb 2001-May 2001.
 I was never a player before that period.
 I have never named a mentor.
 I name Taral as my Mentor.  I create a white ribbon in eir

I call the following CFJ:  Taral has earned a white ribbon.

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.

 Cool, a c.-only distribution.  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).

 Mm, I think Ribbons should go, though.  They weren't a bad idea, and
 Renaissance has been interesting, but they've been around way too
 long.

 Proposal: Honorary Renaissance (II=0)
 {
 [If More Citrine Repeals passes, then Ribbons will be repealed
 probably shortly before ais523 would have won by Renaissance.]

 If ais523 has been awarded a degree in the last month, and did not win
 by Renaissance in the last month, then create a new Rule with the
 following text:

      ais523 continuously satisfies the Winning Condition of
      Renaissance.  When ais523 wins by Renaissance, this rule
      automatically repeals itself.

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.

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