Summary of what's on the Docket

2 actual bills are currently under consideration:
Bill Zero proposes that Intent should trump Wording, such that spelling mistakes and mis-titling do not invalidate posts. It also prevents the unscrupulous from exploiting loopholes that may have been unintentionally rendered by sloppy verbiage in bills and rules.

Bill 63 seeks to keep Nomiblog simple, by paying extra QI'yaH to those whose bills are short and sweet. Bills 12 lines or shorter score a large (8 QI'yaH) bonus for their maker, those 13-15 lines long score smaller bonuses.
In addition to these bills, there is a technically non-bill post that was clearly intended to be a bill. Should Bill Zero pass, this non-bill would be immediately and retroactively deemed a bill by the Administrator. If that happens, votes could be tallied without warning. I recommend casting votes for or against it as if it was a bill, just to be safe. Here are the link and summary of the non-bill:
non-Bill 55, part 2 seeks to expand the Smithy's duties and responsibilities. It's intent is to deprive that position of it's free supply of QI'yaH, though it also adds numerous tasks to the Smithy's to-do list.
I am happy to bring you this summary. Note that should this summation conflict with the rules, the rules happily win.
