The Council of Wyrms

[Zooko]

There is also a new Proposition, the Fateful Proposition 13.

Might a humble human make a suggestion to the august Council of Wyrms regarding Proposition 12? If only the winning Wyrm gains from the event then only the Wyrms in the most powerful position (in terms of humans eaten) will have any motivation to pass this resolution. My guess is that this would only be a handful? Which means that it is unlikely to pass.

My suggestion is to change it to a betting pool so that all of Wyrmdom can participate. Allow Wyrms to declare themselves contenders and allow all others to place bets on said contenders based on some set of odds you all can work out on your own. Then the give the winning Wyrm some % of the betting pool and pay out all the winning bets from the sums given in all the bets which were placed on losing contenders.

Turn 17 has been sent out. Next deadline is Tuesday at 8 PM MST. News:

1. Atlantis staled. I am sorry about that, for I know hotmail was down when the last turn was mailed. I did post the turn file on the forum, but I guess Atlantis does not read the forum or he is out. There has been plenty of time for Atlantis to have taken sufficient action to avoid the stale.
2. Zona Nyl has died for the second time. I suppose that means he now joins the ranks of magic-less wyrms.
3. A Death Match has been scheduled for the very bravest of the wyrms.

Any Wyrms want to bet on who will win the Deathmatch?

[Wish]

I bet it is the dragon, or his people. (bet: 1 gem)

[Morkilus]

Aren't deathmatches... dangerous? I doubt there will be ANY pretenders participating, especially since it kills your voting status (not that we've been voting on much). Well, I'm about to come up with a doozy of a proposal that may get some debate.

I was updating the web page, which included noting that propositions 12 and 13 had been defeated. However, it appears that two dead wyrms (Grundle and B'hemet) voted on proposition 12; without those two votes, the proposition would have passed. Unless I hear that those wyrms have rejoined us, I will change prop. 12 to indicate its passage, and the human-eating contest will commence! Given that Grundle acknowledges his unfortunate state in a comment, it seems like this will be the case.
Cheers!

Um - were they dead the whole time the voting was open? Remember, due to voting rules (24 hour votes), a Wyrm might be both dead and alive during that voting time frame.

Were any other Wyrms a little bit dead during the voting, who voted yes?

Not that it matters - Vyrmin can out eat any of y'all.

Actually, the voting period is not yet over. Recall that the rules specifically state that wryms have 48 hours to vote on weekends.

I guess B'ang!Pat'h will have to weigh in on prop 12. Don't think I have enough free time to come up with a suitably bombastic tirade, though, so he may have to vote in silence for a change.
