LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Uh, you realize it's impossible for two proposals to actually end at the same time, right?
Why couldn't they? Proposals end when the final vote has been cast and a player could easily cast final votes for both at the same time. If everyone else has voted for both proposals that is.

Uh, no, even if you do it in a single post, you have to write one of them before the other in your post.
I don't think that counts. Both votes are posted at the exact same time, regardless of where they appear in the post.
What if it's just everyone's turn all the time? With a limit of one proposal going per person?

What you think counts is irrelevant, unless it was your turn previously and thus you're currently the judge.

Anyway oh my god just figure out what you want to do with it and start the vote.

Yeah, Ive already got a proposal in mind for my turn, But I can't very well do that while it's his turn...
Alright. New revision that should avoid my disagreement with LockeZ and also solve the problem of players waiting for others to vote. I'm putting it up for a vote immediately.

Proposal 310: Amendment to rule 201: New turns will begin according to the following procedure:

1. When a player puts a proposal up for a vote, that player's "Next Turn Players" shall be determined as follows: for each player currently taking a turn, select the player whose username alphabetically follows that player.
2. Following the end of a player's turn, each of that player's "Next Turn Players" that is not currently taking or concluding a turn shall begin a new turn.

Following the passage of this rule, the next two players in alphabetical order by username will begin their turns simultaneously. Turns may not be skipped or passed, and parts of turns may not be omitted. All players begin with zero points.

I vote nay. This still has the possibility of the following scenario:

meustrus and Shinan are each taking their turn. They put their proposals up at roughly the same time; meustrus' "next turn player" is Shinan, and Shinan's is TangledLion.

Shinan's proposal goes to voting first, and the turn concludes. TangledLion starts his turn. Then meustrus' proposal goes to voting and concludes. Shinan gets another turn.
Nay! Like I said, We have enough convolution as it is, Since I can't do anything about that, I'll stop this!

You all make me very sad. Well I at least vote yea to end the round of voting.
Well, this voting piriod seems to be done, can we get a Tally of Points Trihan? I assume you did not see the last post and this is why you have not done so yet. if the reason is that your life is too busy right now, then I'm sorry if this post came across rude.

Okay, the proposal is defeated four nays to one yea. Nobody gets any points. meustrus is sad. Trihan apologises to the players for neglecting the game.

Shinan, I choose you!
My proposal is this.

I will need help in writing it in proper legalese but my propsal idea is to forbid the letter "s" (and "S". Anyone using it in a post automatically loses 1 point per instance (up to a maximum of say 10 per post).

Instead alternatives are encouraged. Like z or * or whatever else you might put instead of an s in writing so that people still understand what you are saying.

Basically censoring the letter s.

Thi$ iz okay with me.
I'm okay with funny ridiculous(What? it's not passed yet!) rules. But I have too few points to vote for anything that can take more away at this point...

My only advice for the "legalese" is to specify "the body of any post in the game thread made after the passing of this rule." You probably don't want to penalize yourself every time you post just because your name starts with an S, for example.
