Proposal : IYRAPOTSTINGMTBMIPTP. [mk2]

Paraphrasing a clever poster:
"If You're A Part Of The Solution, There's No Good Money To Be Made In Prolonging The Problem."

Do we all agree that work in our glorious corporation is getting a little slow?
It's time to discover, point out and eradicate the problem!

In the 48 hours following the enactment of this proposal the District Manager shall make a post with the word "Meeting" in bold in its title.
Every Teamspersons, excluding the District Manager, can post their opinion on how to speed-up work (ie: make this dynasty more interesting, set-up a winning condition, repeal dense or boring rule/s, etc)in comments to that memo.

After 72 hours of brainstorming (read: after 72 hours have passed from the posting of the "meeting" memo), the District Manager shall choose what he deems as the best solution and cut&paste it as a new memo.

If more that 4 people agree with the chosen solution, indicating so by replying with comment that includes the vote FOR within 48 hours from posting, that solution can by enacted by an admin.
The enacting admin may claim 3 dignity, and its original proposer may claim 20 dignity

Basically, it gives us a lot of power by creating a one-shoot half-quorum proposal, and encourages posting with a double dignity reward.

Proposal: Modernize [Trivial]

Should the proposal entitled IYRAPOTSTINGMTBMIPTP. pass, replace all instances of the word "Health" with the word "Dignity" within the proposal, and set all game variables to the state they would have been had the updated wording be the original one.

Proposal: Embarassment to the Company

Create a new rule, Firing

If at any time a Teampersons's Dignity is 0 they are considered Fired, and "Fired" is added after their name in the sidebar.

Fired Teampersons' Dignity is always zero. Fired Teampersons are not considered Teampersons for the purposes of non-core rules other than this one.

If all but one of the Teampersons are Fired, the remaining Teamperson may declare victory. If all of the Teampersons are Fired, the last Teampersons to be Fired may declare victory. (If the last remaining Teampersons all were fired at the same time, then any of them may declare victory.)

Outsourced

It appears that my position as Head of Sales has been replaced by a team of workers in India. I'll be Idle until I can find work elsewhere.

BTW, we're getting close to post #2000.

Is it just me, or is Blogger taking a very long time to show any updates? I've also had trouble getting it to load consistently (I get a lot of 404s).

Proposal : It's Rough Down There

Change the first two sentences of Rule 11 - Efficiency to read

Each Teamsperson may belong to a single Department - Sales, Marketing, Research, Accounts, Mailroom, or Management. Each Department except Mailroom has a Department Head, who tracks that Department's Efficiency as a GNDT variable next to their own name.

Add Mailroom to the list of Departments in the GNDT.

Create a new GNDT column, Rage.

Add to Rule 19 - Departments' Special:

If the Mailroom votes against a Project, the Teamsperson who casts the Mailroom's vote may, in the same comment as his or her vote, include the text "Spite: X", where X is an integer greater than 0, called the Spite Toll. If the TOS created by that Project is Approved, when the TOS is added to the Ruleset, it shall have its Cost increased by the Spite Toll.

To declare a Spite Toll, a Mailroom Teamsperson must pay (5 times the Spite Toll) in Rage. If this would reduce that Teamsperson's Rage below 0, that Teamsperson may not declare that Spite Toll. A single Mailroom Teamsperson may only declare one Spite Toll on any given project. If multiple Mailroom Teamspersons vote against a Project, and if the most recent Mailroom vote cast was AGAINST the Project, and if that Project is Failed, the final Spite Toll is equal to all legal Spite Tolls declared in all Mailroom votes on that Project.

Add a new rule, Mailroom:

If this Rule and another NCR are in conflict, this Rule is considered to have precedence.

If at any time a Teamsperson's Dignity drops below 50, he or she immediately loses his or her Department (and any non-Personal TOSs), then becomes part of the Mailroom Department. The Mailroom has no Efficiency, Budget, or Department Head, and no Teamsperson belonging to Mailroom may take any actions normally reserved for Department Heads. No member of the Mailroom may create a Project.

Only Teamspersons in the Mailroom have Rage; when a Teamsperson becomes part of the Mailroom, his or her Rage is set to 0, and if he or she ever leaves the Mailroom, his or her Rage is set to "-". All Teamspersons who are not in the Mailroom have a Rage of "-".

If a Proposal posted by a Teamsperson in the Mailroom fails, that Teamsperson may add 3 to his or her Rage. Once a Teamsperson has gained Rage in this way, he or she may not gain Rage from failed Proposals for 24 hours. A Teamsperson's Rage may never fall below 0 or rise above (200 - that Teamsperson's Dignity). If any effect causes a Teamsperson's Rage to be greater than (200 - his or her Dignity), any Teamsperson may lower that Teamsperson's Rage to the highest legal level.

No Mailroom Teamsperson may voluntarily change his or her Department, or leave the Mailroom. If a Mailroom Teamsperson's Dignity ever reaches 100, that Teamsperson may leave the Mailroom and subsequently apply to other Departments as normal.
