Minor changes before we begin

(Note: This post is neither a rule nor a bill. It is merely a summary of changes made to the starting rules. Should this post and a rule conflict, the rule wins.)

Several potential players told me they'd take part, if they can post on their lunchbreaks. Since we haven't started the game yet, I revised rules 4 (specifically subsection 4d) and 6 to accommodate that. Now the game week begins on Thursday at noon, and ends sometime Wednesday (or pre-noon Thursday), whenever within that window the Administrator (currently me) finds the time to tally votes.

Previously, rules 4 & 6 had stated the game week matched the real world weeks, which I'd thought would be convenient. But that would have meant the best time to post a bill (so as to increase the odds of getting enough positive votes) would be Tuesday, and the best time to actually vote (so you don't miss any bills, and have maximum time to consider your options) was Saturday. But if people want to use this as way to goof off on their lunchbreaks, that set up was sub-optimal.

Now, the best time to post a bill is Thursday afternoon, as that will give you the most time to lobby and result in the most players seeing it before the game week ends.
Likewise, the best time to vote is now Tuesday, as then you'll have minimal chance of missing someone else's last-minute bill proposal. Wednesday's are just straight out. That's hump day. Like you people need any more distractions on hump day. You certainly can place votes on Wednesdays, but there's a good chance it'll be too late to matter.

Rule #4: One bill per player per week

Each player may propose one new rule per game week.
4a. New rules are proposed by means of posting to the blog. The title of the post should start with the word "bill", as in the legal term for a proposed law, and must include a Number that has not been previously used in any other proposal/bill/law.
4b. When a bill is posted, it should be given the label "current bill". That way all the currently pending bills may be searched for using that label.
4c. Posts that do not begin with the word "bill" are not bills. But bills without the current bill label are still bills.
4d. A game week is defined as starting Thursday at noon and ending sometime after Wednesday at 8 am, whenever the hell the administrator gets around to tallying votes. It's not a normal week or work week.
4e. This rule in no way limits what kinds of rules may propose, only the number of rules they may propose within a given week.
4f. If posting something to this blog that is not intended to be a bill, make sure not to start your post with the word "bill". Please never start your posts with the title "rule" either.
