Question - I don't understand what I did wrong.
Modern Diplomacy II Map - I'm Spain, I have a fleet Seville, Sea of Gibraltar, and an army in Gibraltar. The UK has a fleet in Morocco and that's it. Our fleets bounced in the South Atlantic Sea, I attempted to convoy my army from Gibraltar to Algeria... but it failed.. So why did it fail if the other player didn't touch my unit in Gibraltar & the Sea of Gibraltar?

anyone up for a game of nomic?
from wikipedia: "nomic is a game in which changing the rules is a move. in that respect it differs from almost every other game. the primary activity of nomic is proposing changes in the rules, debating the wisdom of changing them in that way, voting on the changes, deciding what can and cannot be done afterwards, and doing it. even this core of the game, of course, can be changed."

The rule states 24 hours from when suggested. Time to look back and find that post.
alas, vashta is right, and your proposal was suggested a good 25 or so hours ago. it's a problem of a queue and lurkers stopping us getting through proposals, but i think it's a blessing in disguise, as we can add some anti lurking legislation to make things run smoother. anyways, onto the next proposal.
ghug (5068 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
Damn, you're right, that's no good.

I propose that rule 10 be amended to start the 24 hour clock at the point when a proposal reaches the top of the queue and becomes active rather than when it is actually proposed.

We can pass Vash's anti-lurking rule, fix that issue, and then I can repropose my coalition legislation.

in favour of ghugh's proposal, if it's on top now.
kasimax (243 D)
01 Aug 14 UTC
and yeah, 24 hours for total expulsion is a bit short. it would work though if one could declare absence for a given amount of hours and takes his right to vote for that time (but is allowed to come back without drawbacks).
ghug (5068 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
Current proposal is SD: any future proposals must be accompanied with an explanation of how the proposal, if passed, would contribute to the good of us, the nomic members

Yea: SD
Nay: ghug
Expires in 3 hours 36 minutes

I don't think this is needed. If there's not a clear motivation, people will explain or it won't get passed. All this does is add unnecessary verbage.
semck83 (229 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
I oppose. I agree with ghug.
pfft, i think a lot of proposals may be aimed at self-gain, and this way we can properly see if the proposal is for the general good or not

This is a site full of Diplomacy players...

kasimax (243 D)

i think it is a viable rule (even if i won't vote for it right now - better wording needed.) for example, jamiet earlier suggested giving me 1000 D for setting this game up. all of you would most certainly vote aye - since it gives all of you a better position.
ghug (5068 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
@SD, so really this is you thinking you're going to be better at justifying your self-serving proposals than everyone else and trying to take advantage of that?

@kasi, We voted nay on the +501 proposal, and hurting the current leader does help the community as a whole.
No, it was a polite way of saying that even though this is a site of diplomacy, none of us are madmarx, and i doubt we would easily hoodwink the crowd if forced to explain our proposal. I don't think I'm an especially good diplomacy player, so I wouldn't be able to gain from this rule in a malicious sense.
ghug (5068 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
I just don't see how forcing people to provide justification makes it any harder to hoodwink the crowd. If you can provide a proposal attractive enough that people will vote for it, surely you can easily justify it with whatever the other players would be using to justify it to themselves.
semck83 (229 D(B))
01 Aug 14 UTC
SD, if I'm proposing a rule that is for self-gain and I don't provide an explanation, then it's my own fault when it fails.
I think it would just force people to think more about is a proposal actually good, instead of just being like "hmm seems aiite". And, Jamie's 50 nomitz point rule for instance, that passed, people were happy to get their 50 pointz, but I doubt jamie just thought let's give these points away for no reason. My proposal would force an explanation in such a situation.

I vote in favor of the current proposal. Even if you have to explain why it is good for the general whole, it doesn't mean you can't add riders to the proposal, you just need to make the riders just not quite as self-centered, add enough riders for enough people and you'll get your proposal passed anyways. (Isn't that how the current government works at any rate?)

Nay to Sd's proposal
Atrum (458 D)
01 Aug 14 UTC
So, the current proposal has the following votes:

Yea: SD, Atrum, Jamiet
Nay: ghug, semck, erza


Sidenote: Who hasn't voted on a proposal in the last 24 hours? I'm curious if anyone is keeping a running tally?
Nay on SD's proposal.
guak (3381 D)

nay on SD
Atrum (458 D)
01 Aug 14 UTC
Current Proposal has the following votes:
Yea: SD, Atrum, Jamiet
Nay: ghug, semck, erza, Vashta, guak

So, either 4 more yeas or 1 more nay to pass / reject the proposal, right?
i fear it has elapsed on the time front anyways. i think it would be great if we could get rid of most of the items in the queue (perhaps by the 24 hour rule in play), and make a rule so that lurkers don't stop us being able to pass resolutions.
Atrum (458 D)
01 Aug 14 UTC
Seems reasonable, what's still left in the queue, and how long do they have to pass?

(Excluding the Revision Proposal which we can get to after the lurker proposal)
@Soc Dis: Well there is my proposal which is last in the queue, it was brought up a page or two ago. If the time ran out? What's next?
