Round 9/History: Difference between revisions

Line 695:

Jumble wanted to know whether "enact" meant the same thing as "take effect." If not, then perhaps EP-9-1-1 hadn't been effective and the game was months behind what we thought it was. Upon closer inspection, if EP-9-1-1 did do something, did it take effect in the context of the Round 9 Ruleset or the Metaruleset? The answer here wasn't clear-cut either. This, along with other concerns about what exactly the emergency proposal had actually done, ended up calling for an Emergency. Round 9 entered its second state of emergency on 25 April 2021 after a ruling from Random Internet Cat concluded that "enact" and "take effect" do not mean the same thing.

Random Internet Cat drafted what would become EP-9-2-1, which did a number of things to cover our bases. It also removed the Smoothie Scam and reverted the gamestate to a point before the Smoothie Scam took effect. There was a lot of debate over how far the proposal should reach and more stuff that I won't bother you with because it ended up not doing anything to the gamestate anyway. EP-9-2-1 was proposed on 25 April 2021, then self-killed in favor of EP-9-2-2, which was the same thing, but ending with the word "quack" (which may have been necessary because 9-1-1 never took effect and thus duck words were still very much a thing). Finally, on 26 April 2021, the ruleset was back in working order and the mods ended the State of Emergency~~, hopefully allowing us to finish the game correctly and concisely~~.

While all this was going on, however, Random Internet Cat brought up an interesting question: should we just end Round 9<ref>https://discord.com/channels/515560801394753537/518856008605499402/835692910610743316</ref>? Most players argued for a more ceremonious end to the game. There was an active base of players, disgruntled though they may have been. Even if the win condition was lame, most of us wanted to see one take place. And so it was that we decided to play it out for just a bit longer.
