I vote No to all.

[Tylui]

Can somebody propose a law so that I can rejoin when someone wins? I don't want to be out forever .

You aren't even out yet.  If you noticed, you left before the "327 Amendments" Rule was passed, and therefore you never technically "lost".

[Cheeetar]

Oh good. Is anyone interested in a three-way Mentorship?

Turn 7

OH SNAP!  I just realized that I forgot to give the 3 lowest players their points last Turn!  What should we dooo?  I think we should just forget about it.  It was an accident and hopefully it won't happen again.

Something I fear:  mistakes in the new status system.  I have a way of fixing that, but it's going to take some time to get the system in place that I'd like to... If you notice any mistakes anywhere, don't be afraid to alert me... That would be quite awesome of you.

[Pandarsenic]

So, uh, I'm still able to participate/win at this, right?

[webadict]

I, webadict, hereby submit the following proposition dubbed "EXP Share", for the court to judge:

I. If a Protege has less point than his or her Mentor, then one of the points the Mentor would normally receive is given to the Protege.
II. If a Protege has an equal amount or more points than his or her Mentor, then the Protege gains an extra vote towards the Mentor's proposition.

I respectfully ask all members of the court to carefully consider its merits and cast their vote accordingly.

Hey, why wouldn't the Mentor help out his Protege? Or vice versa?

[Servant Corps]

I thought I have ~55 points. Why is that there is only 5 points on my schedule?

[qwertyuiopas]

I, Qwertyuiopas, hereby submit the following proposition dubbed removal of mentor loops, for the court to judge:

A mentor gains half points for mentoring someone if they themselves have a mentor.

I respectfully ask all members of the court to carefully consider its merits and cast their vote accordingly.


I would also like to start a sub game of Whatever-that-game-was-called-with-the-Xs-and-the-Os-in-the-3x3-grid with the following rules:

1: Anyone can join or leave at any time.
2: Bets can be made by donating to the "pot" any resource allowed by the rules of other sub-games or the main game.
3: Leaving during a game counts as losing, and all bet results are carried out before the leaving player leaves.
4: Anyone in the sub-game may challenge anyone in the sub-game.
5: Being in the sub-game does not imply being in the main game(of Meta-Slature), although it would allow more options in terms of betting.
6: Bets may not be negative.
7: A player may not gain resources from the pot after a successful bet if they are not in a game that uses those resources and allows for them to be gained through external means.
8: Players may not bet on both players in a single round.
9: In the case of a draw, the pot is held either until one player wins, if they continue until one wins, or is distributed to all betters if the players decide not to play again, or more than two days have passed since the draw with no decision.
10: The location of these games may be either in this thread or the official thread for this game, and if so, there may only be one, and it will be the first created. The other alternative is an external site or page devoted to this, on the condition that it keeps track of all prior games for review with a period of at least two weeks.


Please remember to vote on the acceptance of this game(321 F. Creation of a sub-game requires a majority vote.)

Also note that all of the betting stuff does nothing until a game exists that allows it.

[Servant Corps]

Yeah, I'm going to need to drop out for now. I think I'm swamped, and I can't really think of good proposals. However, I am not going to go out and leave the game by using that rule that you can give free points to other people. Just in case I would want to play again in the future.

qwertyuiopas, I give you all of my points, regardless of my total.

[Tylui]

So, uh, I'm still able to participate/win at this, right?

Of course!  What would have changed?

EDIT:
My Proposition!

I, Tylui, hereby submit the following proposition, dubbed Win/Loss Conditions, for the court to judge:

   A. Two new status objects with obvious names shall be added: Win Count and Loss Count.
   B. Wins
      I. Any Player with a Win Count greater than 0 shall receive the following benefits:
         a. They may make n time the number of Propositions during Phase I, where n = (Win Count).
         b. Their regular votes count n times, where n = (Win Count).
   C. Loss
      I. Any Player with a Loss Count greater than 0 shall receive the following malefits:
         a. When all marked status objects are reset according to Rule 328, the Player's Points will start at -(100*n), where n = (Loss Count)

I respectfully ask all members of the court to carefully consider its merits and cast their vote accordingly.

[qwertyuiopas]

Fortunately, there is no way to lose yet.

[Tylui]

Servant Corps, you were right, your point total was way off.
