DIS: Rule 2481: "Imminence"?

Hey, another newbie question for you all. Rule 2481, point 3 reads: "Non-Festive players cannot flip the Imminence of any proposal;". However, a simple text search does not find the word "Imminence" mentioned anywhere else in the SLR (nor does the string "immi"). Are my text-searching skills fail

Thanks, that's an interesting history. I suppose this would be an issue easy to fix (by just striking the bullet point), right? Jason Cobb On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 12:05 PM ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk < ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk> wrote: > On Sun, 2019-06-02 at 11:57 -0400, Jason Cobb wrote: > > Hey,

So I gather that if a Rule refers to an Entity that was previously defined by the rules, but no longer is, that section of the Rule just has no effect? Is that correct? Jason Cobb On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 12:16 PM ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk < ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk> wrote: > On Sun, 2019-06-02 at

That makes sense. Thank you. Sorry for all the questions, I obviously haven't been interpreting these rules for as long as you :) Jason Cobb On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 12:49 PM ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk < ais...@alumni.bham.ac.uk> wrote: > On Sun, 2019-06-02 at 12:40 -0400, Jason Cobb wrote: > > So

Re: DIS: Rule 2481: "Imminence"?

I wonder if imminence if not defined as a term of art just bears its ordinary meaning; i.e, nobody can change " the state or fact of being about to happen" of a proposal if a festival happens. Presumably that would prohibit non-festive players from removing proposals somehow? On Mon, Jun 3, 2019

Re: DIS: Rule 2481: "Imminence"?

One issue with that interpretation might be that "to flip" is a term of art. Jason Cobb On Sun, Jun 2, 2019 at 9:19 PM Rebecca wrote: > I wonder if imminence if not defined as a term of art just bears its > ordinary meaning; i.e, nobody can change " > the state or fact of being about to happen

CFJ 1500 finds that a term of art reverts to its English meaning when the rule defining the term is repealed: https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?1500 On 6/2/19 9:19 PM, Rebecca wrote: I wonder if imminence if not defined a
