((you guys want to pass that topaz proposal immediately for convenience?))

[[Don't be ridiculous, that would require Topaz's proposal to be passed to be feasible]]

[[I'm fine with it.]]

[Kilojoule Proton]

I think I have already voted on all the proposals and really have nothing to add (at the moment). Is there any disagreement among the remaining Stones on any of the issues? Right now, it seems like this turn will be a bit of a blank turn.

Spoiler: (Variations on a theme) (click to show/hide)

I got a bit impatient (inclusive) or bored, so I decided to make my own variation of XXXXYYYY's code from scratch. The results, as you can see, are nowhere near as pretty because I have no idea how much luminosity or hue variation is enough.
Also, the code is probably messy and bug-ridden because I have not actually taken any programming course of any sort.

Yours looks great, and I would tinker around with it if I had python 3.0 (or any knowledge of such). As a small side note, I made a couple changes to my web version, like making the text input multiline.))

((This kind of code seems like it could be a useful resource for FG&RP. Perhaps make a thread for it~?))

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Regarding the code, I am a bit flattered, but to be honest, the only difference I have noticed between 2.7 and 3.x is that print is a function an will raise an ExceptionError if used as before. My own code got a bit muddled after I decided to use YUV colors for the backend (not that there is much of a separation between that and the frontend) for their better basis in human perception and most of the time spent on the script was spent on removing errors in the conversion functions. Your code is a lot neater and less bloated, from my somewhat limited perspective.

Regarding the FG&RP resources, I release my own code to whatever is the most permissive license possible under the constraints of the forum TOC and copyright law. Copy, modify, and stuff however you like for whatever you want even without attribution to Kilojoule Proton.

Finally, for anyone wanting to use my code who does not want to have to learn Python to modify it, vel controls the random variation from character to character (bigger -> more variation), h_len controls how slowly the color cycle progresses (bigger -> slower), and amp controls how much the cyclical change even affects anything. They all have three values. The first is the brightness, the second is the difference between green and blue, and the third is the difference between green and red. Thus, you can actually make the output have constant luminance and varying hue or constant hue and varying luminance or anything in between.)

[XXXXYYYY]

((I guess I might make a thread for these in the Creative Projects section. I'm not really sure where it would go. CP seems like the right place, even though it does more closely relate to FG&RP, so IDK where to put it. Any thoughts/advice?))

((Thank you! The main reason (I think) mine is smaller is that I just used two RGB numbers to make a simple linear gradient instead of your YUV magics that allow it to go between multiple colors not in a linear progression.))

If you want to make a proposal, preface the comment with "Proposal;" (or pm me for anonymity). and I will put it here, Preface a comment with "Priority;" (Or pm) in order to give someone priority, or change who is receiving yours. Changing who receives your priority can only be done once in a while.

1 priority is basically a semi-permanent +1 for proposals only.

-Laws-

Seniority adds an automatic priority.

Gems gain priority to Proposals relating to their specialty.

Ministers gain 1 priority to creating Proposals within their field, and lose one to Proposals outside of it.

Cannot self-nominate for a minister position.

2 turns must proceed before any vote is counted.

A proposal now requires 70% agreement to pass

A vote of at least 30% can now be put forth to allow for delaying of a proposal for a specified amount of turns.

Who are you? Why were you locked in there in the first place?

((Yes.))

((??))

((Also, I drew a thing:))

((It did not scan in well. :/ But yeah, I was bored and drew some of the easier ones to draw using descs and affinities. I'm not really satisfied with Kilojoule's, but whatever.))

I suggest that we learn more about this being before freeing it on the world. It said it has been here for multiple cycles of creation and destruction, but could it be that it is the one responsible for the destruction itself? We may begin by asking it of whether any other CONSTANTS of reality exist, what they do, where they are, of their power, and if it has met anyone or anything with a name remotely close to the LANDLORD OF THE MAIN TENANT or the LONG NOW.

(@XXXXYYYY: That actually is quite nice, but a cross section of Topaz would probably be closer to a rectangle, and up to eight striations would be visible. It does still carry the theme well, though.)

This merits consideration. But what could it do if it joins us? Could it take our power, or usurp us? I suppose we should ask more of it.

Proposal: Ask for a small demonstration of the being's powers inside the cage, so that we may have more information when we consider whether we should let it join us.
