BUS: [Proposal] MMI
I create and pend the following proposal. Title: Nicer Definitions AI: 3 Text: Amend rule 2152, "Mother May I", by replacing "SHOULD NOT, DISCOURAGED, DEPRECATED: Before performing the described action, the full implications of performing it should be understood and carefully weighed." with ""SHOULD NOT, DISCOURAGED, DEPRECATED: Before performing the described action, the full implications of performing it ought to be be understood and carefully weighed." and also by replacing "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the described action, the full implications of failing to perform it should (in the ordinary-language sense) be understood and carefully weighed." with "SHOULD, ENCOURAGED, RECOMMENDED: Before failing to perform the described action, the full implications of failing to perform it ought to be understood and carefully weighed." [Explanation: The word SHOULD is currently defined as meaning the word should. This is not technically recursive because the upper case terms are terms of art, but it looks awful. This proposal means that it becomes "ought to", which just looks better. I also get to remove a terribly clunky parenthetical.] -- >From R. Lee

BUS: [Propopsal] Glitter is too valuable
There was a consensus on discord that glitter is too valuable. For example,
judging a CFJ gets you like 11 boatloads in addition to the regular reward
boatloads. How's that fair? I propose making all glitter grant 5 boatloads
of coins.
I create the following proposal.
Title: Reduce Sparkle by 50%!
AI: 3
Text
Amend rule 2438, "Ribbons' by removing the last paragraph (for clarity, I
mean the list item beginning with "- Otherwise")
[there's no reason for the part about glitter to be in the Ribbons rule.
The power 1 glitter rule can grant coins and it can take the definition of
what ribbons are from the higher power rule]
Amend rule 2602, "Glitter", so that it reads, in full
{Each type of Ribbon has a corresponding type of Glitter with the same
name. When a person qualifies for a Ribbon of a type they already have, any
player CAN award them the corresponding type of Glitter by announcement.
That notwithstanding, a person cannot receive glitter if e has already
received it five times in the last 24 hours, or if e has not come to earn
or qualify for that Glitter since the last time e received that type of
Glitter. When a player receives a type of Glitter, the Tailor CAN and in an
officially timely fashion SHALL once award them 5 boatloads of coins]
