For the former had a flux fabrication facilitating flight to the future.

X's avatar stood on the sideline, holding an amorphous book of definitions in his hands.

At least, according to one interpretation.

"Follow him!" cries Ashley as the explosives detonate. The monster rears back but seems otherwise unharmed by the explosion.

There was more, but Stick had forgotten.

No, it only specifies if the fine is odd.

But you would if the fine was odd, correct?

...if the point is to avoid non-whole sphere increments, would you not need to round both down?

No, an odd reward would result in a half sphere being awarded. If the reward was, say, nine, there would be a lot of .5's going around.

The King has absolutely no need for spheres, since he can't win. And also, your own rules are contradicting each other. Also, I very much have a problem with fabrial proceeds going to anyone. Especially if it's only one person that controls the price, controls any buyers, and gets all the money from it. That is too much control over something that has the potential to be quite powerful. I stand by my affirmation that the market should be a free one. At best the Captain of the Radiants should set the prices. Oh! @Experience, this is most definitely a loophole. A rather critical one at that. As it stands, the Captain of the Radiants could set the price to something like 0.01 spheres and just buy an endless supply of whatever item he chooses. With the spanreed this isn't a problem, since having a lot of those is pointless, but it would be a big problem with the Half-Shards. Because of this, I will make an proposal amendment to my amendment The Law of Fabrials: A fabrial can be purchased for a price set by the Captain of the Radiants and approved by the King. ...No, it's not. I've worked for just as long, if not longer, making up these censuses- and I've only gotten 30 spheres so far. Like I said, I need a raise. Plus, 3% isn't a rate, it's a number. A rate needs to be an amount over time. And once again, bribery with spheres is (probably) not what you should be going for. I don't think Exp wants to win (at least, I hope he doesn't want to win ) since he won last game. I certainly wouldn't. The fun of being the GM is in the making of rules, not the earning of spheres. As it stands, all this rule will do is prolong the game unnecessarily. While I'm thinking about it, though, I'll make a proposal suggestion on my amendment to Rule of Commerce: The Highprince of Commerce shall have the responsibility of keeping track of sphere counts for all the players and princedoms in the game. These counts must be posted once per day ten pages at least by the Highprince or another member of his princedom. You're right, this isn't really needed. The penalty for 10 pages elapsing between sphere censuses is ten spheres per set of ten pages missed: the reward for each census posted on-time is five ten spheres. If this is too much, I can lower it. The penalty for major errors in listing princedoms/titles is five spheres, and the penalty for incorrectly listing # of spheres is ten spheres (unless a correction is posted along with a public apology, in which case the penalty is reduced to two.) *exaggerated gasp* How dare you? Insulting people is my job! () If you want to reduce the punishment from getting a rule rejected, amend the rule outlining punishments. You don't need an entirely different item purchased with spheres to do that task. Alternatively, you could just write better rules. I mean, we made the spanreeds. Those are a fabrial. Yeah, but there's nothing stopping the large law-maker from misleading or outright lying to you about what the rule contains. I've noticed a slight error in the Law of Amendment reward/punishment. It only specifies what happens if the fine is odd, not the reward. Law of Amendment reward/punishment: All future amendments that pass have a reward of 1/2 of the reward of a law that passes, rounded down to the nearest whole sphere. All future amendments that do not pass have a fine of 1/2 of the current punishment, rounded down to the nearest whole sphere. If the fine is odd, after dividing by two you round down. There are currently THREE (3) things in need of review in this post.

I'm going to say yes, you can do that. I really need this census out. Also, we need an rule to deal with amendments that occur to the same rule or become obsolete in some other way. I propose the Rule of Obsolescense: If the King wishes, he may declare a proposal obsolete. This will remove the proposal from consideration but otherwise have no effect. It isn't really fair to reject a proposal if a new proposal renders it obsolete. I mean, he could just ignore it, but then we get a backlog of useless proposals. And nobody likes that. Name Title(s) Sphere count @Experience King of Alethkar 9 @Danex 20.5 @Somebody from Sel Highprince Roion 51 @Chasmgoat Highprince Sadeas, Highprince of War 54 @xinoehp512 Highprince Kholin, Highprince of Commerce, King's Wit 137 @Aspiring Writer Highprince Sebarial, Regent 39

Truly, no true form could be attributed to the ghanderflaffles.

Alright, an amendment to The Rule of Amendment Format: An amendment must state the name rule they are amending, then copy the entire rule, with the suggested alterations being either highlighted in red to add a clause or struck-through to remove a clause. Any Examples or explanations must be highlighted in blue. Things highlighted in blue or struckthrough will not be copied into the rule book. Anything highlighted red will be unhighlighted when copied into the rulebook. Also, I propose The Rule of Typos: If a rule contains a spelling or grammatical error, the King may correct it. The council may reject such a modification with unanimous approval. Do we have a Highprince of Information yet? In addition, I propose an amendment to The Rule of No Paradoxes: If a Rule is found to contradict another Rule, the Rule that has existed longer is the one that takes precedence. who’s effect is taken into account. The other rule is completely disregarded. If the two contradictory rules were placed into effect simultaneously (i.e. approved in the same post) the King decides which one takes effect. The King may not approve a rule that nullifies completely the effect of another approved in the same post. This way if only part of a rule contradicts another, the whole thing isn't automatically invalidated (like what happened to the Rule of Amendment Format). I won't post a census this post, as I think this starts a new page and therefore gives me my Wit bonus. Edit: Nobody has posted, so I guess my next post will be a continuation of this one. That last line is a problem- what if we don't have enough players to fill all three positions? We still need a Highprince of Information, and that leaves only two people without a Highprince title, one of is already the Regent. Also, this doesn't prevent you being assigned a Highprince title afterwards, which doesn't seem fair. I will propose an amendment to The Regent: The King must select someone to become a Regent and must always have a Regent at all times. He may change who is Regent whenever he chooses to. If the King is aware he will be unavailable or absent for longer than three days, he must announce and appoint the Regent during his absence, who will take over the duties of the King until they return. If the King is absent for more than five days, the chosen Regent will automatically take over until his return. The King can reject any rules that the Regent approves in his absence upon his return, and vice versa. The Regent has no other powers other than taking over for the King. Responsibilities of the Regent will include all of the responsibilities of the King, as well as keeping track of all proposals and amendments and whether or not they approved or rejected them for the king upon their return. Failure to do so will culminate in a fine of five spheres per proposal and amendment not kept track of. The Regent must also announce a replacement in the case he also is made unavailable, where that person will become the Temporary Regent until either the Regent or King has returned. Temporary Regent has all the powers and responsibilities of the Regent upon the Regent's absence. If a Regent and a Temporary Regent are both not chosen or available, the players can vote a Voted-Regent into place. The Voted-Regent will carry all the responsibilities of the Regent and can keep power even if the chosen Temporary Regent returns, though they must give back power once the Regent or King returns. The Regent, Temporary Regent, and Voted Regent cannot earn spheres in their time in power but will be given ten spheres for each day of keeping track of proposals upon the King's return. Every proposal that Regent, Temporary Regent approves and the King rejects or vice versa will result in a fine of one sphere per proposal. The King can decide to offer more or fewer spheres to the Regents for their time in power and can mitigate the one sphere fine, but cannot increase the fine. Highprinces of (insert element) cannot be made into Regents, Temporary Regents, or Voted Regents. Failure for a Regent to announce a Temporary Regent will result in a fine of ten spheres. Simplest solution. First of all, I think the King of Urithiru should be called Captain of the Radiants (sort of the title Dalinar gave to Amaram in WoR). I really don't think we've found Urithiru yet. And if that wasn't enough, having two Kings would just get confusing. I will propose an amendment to King of Urithiru: Captain of the Radiants: The King of Urithiru Captain of the Radiants has control over the Knights Radiant (powers, abilities and duties to be determined in a later proposal or amendment) is a title gained in the same way as the title of Highprince of Enter duty here; by asking for the title and then being approved by the King. The King of Urithiru Captain of the Radiants also has control of the fabrial technologies (also to be determined later). I also think that people shouldn't have to run purchases by the Captain of the Radiants. That's too much control. I advise amending The Law of Fabrials: A fabrial can be purchased for a price set by the Captain of the Radiants. King of Urithiru, as long as the King of Urithriru approves the purchase *internal screaming* I'm sorry, but no. People have a hard enough time keeping track of rules that are public, the last thing we need is private rules that force you to review the OP constantly and will undoubtedly lead to many headaches on everyone's part. I propose we redact The Spanreed.

Oh, shoot... @Experience, there were seven proposals in my post but you only made five approvals. It seems that you missed Proposal Disambiguation and my amendment to Commerce. (As a side note, can I have a pay raise? I've spent upwards of an hour on this census already).

This has exploded and I'm not at my normal computer... ! For now, an amendment to The Rule of Pre-Approval Amendment: Players may propose amended forms of proposed rules that have not yet been accepted. Said "proposal suggestions" are not proposals in and of themselves. Proposal suggestions should be composed of the original text, with suggested removals struck through and additions in italic (color may also be added or the italic removed to distinguish alterations if necessary: incorrect formatting should be corrected, but will not be punished). The proposal suggestion may be accepted in stead of the proposal it amends (in which case the formatting will be adjusted to match current guidelines), and the author of the suggestion will receive whatever reward said proposal entails. The original proposal is removed from consideration if the suggestion is accepted; however, the original proposer will still receive a reward half that of what they would have earned otherwise, rounding up to the nearest whole monetary unit. If the original proposal is accepted, any amendment suggestions to that proposal are similarly removed from consideration, and the authors receive no effect. If both are accepted, the proposal suggestion takes precedence. The King may accept suggestion proposals made concurrent and subsequent to the proposal of this law. Also, the amendment formatting rule conflicts with the Rule of Proposal Format: it says that additions "must be added in blue", despite the Proposal Format rule outlining normal text as a guideline. Therefore, according to the Rule of No Paradoxes, it must be disregarded. I'll fix the issue when I have time.

X had the brilliant idea that ghanderflaffles were shapeshifters.

But he wasn't wrong.

Because he was Null.

As it was supposed to be impossible.

Entering the Null.

They appeared once every year.

Truly a haunting sight.

So they accidentally possessed the cookies instead.

(They were also ghosts.)

Ninjas sprang out, shurikens at the ready!
