Proposal: Thermonuclear Spuds [Superpower - well, sort of]

Create a new power: Hot Potato

Hot Potato is always the last Superpower in a hero's list of Superpowers. A Hero with Hot Potato may get rid of Hot Potato at any time by making a post in the GNDT: "Handoff to [Other Hero]" and moving Hot Potato to the other Hero's list of Superpowers.

If a Hero does not handoff the Hot Potato within 72 hours of receiving it, any other Hero can make a post to BlogNomic announcing that the Hot Potato has detonated. The hero with Hot Potato then forfeits 5 power and Hot Potato to the Hero announcing the detonation (who can immediately handoff Hot Potato to another Hero), and is considered idle until they apologize for scattering mashed potatoes across the Blog. (Any admin can switch them to idle at any time.) This paragraph has no effect until 15:30 GMT on Friday, 5 Mar 2004, and any Admin can delete this sentence from the ruleset after that time.

If no hero bids on Hot Potato, it goes to the Admin who enacts this proposal, who may immediately hand it off to another hero.

There's no real reason to bid on this, unless you want to begin by giving it to your nemesis, but I certainly didn't expect anyone to bid very much for A Healthy Diet, either.

This is a simpler alternative to having admins search through a week of posts to find out who didn't vote. Obviously, this is open to comments, especially regarding the time limit.

Passed 11 to 1 by Brendan at 8:05 pm GMT on 3.1.2004. +10 to Damanor, +2 to Brendan. Brendan gets Hot Potato at a cost of 1 Power.
