Round 9/History: Difference between revisions

Line 166:

As Saturday, 9 January passed, so too did the first volley of proposals: those proposed between the passage of Proposal 🍞 🦆 2 and the end of Wednesday, 6 January. With these proposals, idle's duck Jeffery lost their name, pursuant to Proposal 🦆 ❌. Sunday was rather uneventful for a change. We worked on some proposals for the next week as we welcomed the madness.

== The Era of Experimentation (11 Jan 2021 - 13 Jan 2021) ==

As we all got our ducks, gameplay began in earnest. The next few weeks of the game carried the community into experimental territory as we tried to shape the ideal future for the round. Some ideas stuck, some didn't. This section explores those ideas. By the end of the Era of Experimentation, fewer massive proposals were being passed as we discussed the next big idea to explore. This section does not talk about that as much.

Line 216:

One small proposal that caused a surprising amount of change was Proposal 🗨️ 🦆 (Wotton, 13 Jan 2021). This proposal mandated that all game actions end with either "quack" or "uwu" or be invalid. This would lead to several breakages in the future.

== The Age of Fracture (21 Jan 2021 - 10 Feb 2021) ==

Starting with a burst of energy bringing the community back from a short hiatus in late January, this period overlaps a bit with the next one. "Age of Fracture" is meant to imply that the round was beginning to break but hadn't utterly shattered yet as it would later on. Instead of describing its own period, this section instead focuses on the proposals that would lead the ruleset to fracture, making way for the Break Ages. Within this time frame we experienced a rise in textualism and the first instances of duck hoarding.

~~== The First Break Age (21 Jan 2021 - 24 Feb 2021) ==~~

The First Break Age started with the rise in activity at the end of January and concluded with the first major breakages of Round Nine in the middle of February. Within this time frame we experienced a rise in textualism and the first instances of duck hoarding.

Line 301:

Reflecting the recent trend toward more textualist interpretations of the rules, the official position of Judge was created with the goal of centralizing and officializing legal interpretation.

The Judge's rulings are stored on the wiki at [[Round 9/Rulings]].

== The First Break Age (1 Feb 2021 - 24 Feb 2021) ==

The First Break Age was the culmination of previous proposals that led to the first major breakages of Round 9 in the middle of February.
