By an overwhelming 3-1 vote in Discord, a rule golf contest has been selected. Proposed rules follow:
UNOFFICIAL RULE GOLF CONTEST: Contestants shall select between 1 and 5 rules and submit a revised version of the set of rules. The selected set of rules should be cohesive. The revised version need not have the same number of rules as the original. Submissions can be submitted within 7 days of the contest beginning. A player cannot make more than one submission. Submissions should not alter the behavior of the rules in any way. Removal of clarifications does not constitute an altering of behavior, so long as the rule functions the same way without the clarification. CFJ precedent may be used to determine this, so long as the precedent does not rely on text of the rules that was substantively altered by the revision. Submissions will be tiered as follows: 1. Those which do not alter rules behavior. 2. Those which do not significantly alter rules behavior. 3. Those which significantly alter rules behavior. All submissions in tiers with lower numbers outrank those with higher numbers. The tier a submissions is in is determined by the Rulekeepor, but eir decisions should be mostly based on the public's understanding of the revision's affects. Within a tier, submissions are ranked by the total number of words removed by the revision. Submissions with more removed words are ranked more highly. The Rulekeepor shall publish a complete list of submissions and rankings within 7 days after the submission period closes. Ties shall be broken at the discretion of the Rulekeepor. The Herald should please attempt to award the winner a unique patent title. -- Jason Cobb Assessor, Rulekeepor, Stonemason
