Oh wait a second. Lets see: You're ENACTING IT BY YOURSEF? Piss off, mutherf**ker. Edit that post now: You are proposing the enaction of rule 308.

Any reason for my banishment, Jalathas?

And, I vote against your proposal.

The rule says that we can take a vote to banish you. I'm enacting the rule, therefore we take a vote. Also, why does the accused even get a vote? He'll obviously vote against. Anyways, here are the charges:
1. Continuous straying from the game's genre, even when warned against doing so.
2. Continuous swearing, usually unprovoked.
3. Pointless insulting of other players' play style.
4. Disruption of other players' enjoyment and suspension of disbelief.
5. The beginning of what appears to be a similar incident to that of the previous game.

For these offenses, I propose the permanent and retroactive removal of Coral and his character from the game of Nomic.

[Coral]

So you aren't enacting rule 308 anymore, but a completely different proposal because rule 308 does not include any sort of removal of posts, retroactive or otherwise.

[Fargo Squire]

Or rather, Jalathas is both enacting rule 308, which states: "A player can be ejected from the game by a majority vote." and he's also proposing an amendment to that rule that adds to it removal of posts, though if a player is removed from the game and the character isn't used anymore, I think a removal of that player's posts is a given.

[Coral]

ARRGHHHH, IM MAD.

I OWN YOU JALATHAS! =D. J/k

[Aikanaro]

I don't want all his posts retconned, but maybe a nice gentle phasing out of the elements he introduced after he's gone.

1. Continuous straying from the game's genre, even when warned against doing so.

Breaking rule 303. And playing by the rules is the most important rule...

If you want to check if copyKatt is still playing, feel free. Otherwise, I think you should stop posting and consider yourself officially kicked out of the game.

Edit: Feel free to make your character leaving or something, otherwise, we'll consider him an NPC as per rule 308.

Also - KC, did you vote on Jalathas's earlier proposals? If not, we need it to continue playing normally.

[kiltedcrusader]

I did - I think the last ones were on page five.

[Aikanaro]

Ah, okay, I think we can call that passed then. The order is now: Aikanaro, Coral, Jalathas, Kilted Crusader, Fargo Squire.

In which case I propose the following:

312. The introducing of further main characters will be rewarded by the player receiving a 'token'.

313. Tokens can be spent in order for the player to gain an extra vote on an issue.

314. If a player is perceived to be in breach of rule 101, play stops until the matter has been dealt with.

315. If a player doesn't post within two days after a person's turn has begun, they forfeit their right to vote on the current proposal or to propose new proposals if it is their turn.

[Coral]

I vote against your first two rule proposals. I find them stupid because well, people will try to make as many characters as possible--even subconsciously--so that they can get their way in votes.

Otherwise, I vote YES for this proposition!

[Jalathas]

I actually agree with coral on this one, though not because it's "stupid" as he put it. I just think that one main character per person is enough for now.

[Coral]

Then is this proposal passed because it has recieved three votes, and there are five players? Copykatt seems to have quit.

[kiltedcrusader]

I vote against the first two as well - the game could get cluttered with extra characters. Although that might be fun trying to find out who's character is whos

I vote for on the other two.

[Fargo Squire]

Just... I have to say it. First, both of those should be "whose". Second, the character would be played by the person whose character it was, so there'd be no mystery (unless of course I completely misunderstood you, which is a definite possiblility).

[Jalathas]

So which do you vote on?

[Fargo Squire]

Oh, er... Hey, wait. I'm going to gripe about a subject on which I again may be wrong. Wasn't Jalathas the one to take a turn before Aikanaro? And since the turn order didn't actually change, doesn't that mean that KC should have gone rather than Aikanaro? But I digress.

Now, I'm going to vote for the last three, but I have a suggestion about the criteria for earning a token. Here's my idea: A player (not char) may nominate another player for a token based on the nominee's performance in the IC thread. For example, if we go into a slump where nothing at all is happening in the game and I come along and post a freakin' awesome plot twist that gets the game moving again, Jalathas can nominate me. Then we take a majority vote, and if most people think I should get it, I have the *option* of accepting. Here's the catch: One token per character.

So that's a suggestion on the first prop. and an OK on the last three.

[Jalathas]

I agree with that. I think it makes more sense than the new characters idea.
