Proposal: For the love of Ambiguity
I humbly submit that the first paragraph of Rule 10 be changed from:
There is a Disciple who is called The Gadfly. The Gadfly uses a distinct Veto icon, with which e is allowed to veto in the same manner as the Philosopher-King, which is called The Gadfly's Seal (the icon may be added here by The Gadfly). Each seal icon may only be changed by its wielder.
to
There is a Disciple who is called The Gadfly. The Gadfly can perform any game action that the Philosopher-King may perform unless the rule describing that game action states otherwise. The Gadfly uses a distinct Veto icon, with which e is allowed to veto in the same manner as the Philosopher-King, which is called The Gadfly's Seal (the icon may be added here by The Gadfly). Each seal icon may only be changed by its wielder.
If the majoriy of comments casting votes for this proposal contain the word "limit" then instead change Rule 19 from:
Occasionally, the Philosopher-King may issue an edict in which e details some sort of formatting limit to what counts as a legal proposal (e.g. All legal proposals must not exceed five hundred words). The edicts shall be displayed as a list in the last paragraph of this rule.
to
Occasionally, the Philosopher-King or Gadfly may issue an edict in which e details some sort of formatting limit to what counts as a legal proposal (e.g. All legal proposals must not exceed five hundred words). The edicts shall be displayed as a list in the last paragraph of this rule.
This clarifies the issue presented in the CfJ in favor of the Gadfly, but does it in the plain text of the rules. The limited version is in case people feel the unlimited version is too powerfull or opens a loophole.
