Not sure if @arthurbik ever picked up Japanese again (he did start it, iirc?), but he might not like this rule much ;) Also can we add to the rule that it must be unique, i.e. we can not just copy your message from this PR every time? |
|
I specifically formulated it as such that another player can comment with a message and it doesn't have to be the initiator of the PR. Edit: Also, fixed uniqueness. I considered that, but let it go in the first place, but if you'd like it, I have nothing against it. |
|
Alright, well I will abstain from voting for this (though I am in favour) to ensure that @arthurbik gets a deciding vote ;) |
|
Japanese or Turkish, that's specific... I can't say I have become any better, but I will one day learn Japanese. So I like this idea. What happens when the Japanese/Turkish or translation contains a mistake? |
|
Ahh, and thanks @MrHug |
|
I purposefully chose "a translation", so I'd suggest something that is in some way defensible as a translation is okay. If it's just blatently incorrect (ie. not a spelling error), then I guess a #18 might be in order. If that gets adopted. Edit: If you'd like me to I could add something in that explicitly states it. Also, the Turkish is because Jesse is learning that currently. |
|
But who broke a rule when the initiator of the PR is not the one who wrote the Japanese/Turkish + translation? |
|
Mmm. In it's current formulation, it would be the person who merges the PR. (Since casting an invalid vote shouldn't really be a problem, but adopting rule-change without a valid majority would.) I'm tempted to make this say "possibly incorrect translation", but that enables abuse in the other direction. |
|
Other players may suggest amendments or argue against the proposal before the vote. A reasonable time must be allowed for this debate. There are no sanctions for voting when this rule disallows it, regardless of what other rules specify. Isn't this a conflict? |
|
By 110, unmutable rules always supersede mutable rules. Hence the "no sanctions" clause can only apply to other mutable rules. (So it will result in a conflict, but the resolution-rules state that the rule you quote must be used.) It's mostly a pre-measure against 311, because I want this rule to be for fun and education, and not disrupt the rest of the game. I do see how you're reading it though, so I'll add in a change that will make this less wide of a clause. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I am not sure why there is a comma after "disallows"?
|
Fixed. |

Hmm I see I forgot that I would not vote on this. As @arthurbik is in favour regardless, I guess it doesn't matter. |
|
With 3 votes in favor, among 4 players, a simple majority has been achieved, so by rule 203, the suggested rule-change is adopted. As prescribed by rule 314, I will merge this pull request, since the last commit satisfies the exception mentioned in the rule. |
