[Bnomic-private] Synopsis

[Baron von Skippy]

> >> ====================================
> >> [A summary]
> >>
> >> Seems like bd ought to be getting a Mithril Buttplate from all the
> >> kicking he's getting.  Basically, several people kick him, a lot.
> >> Thousands of times, even.  Wonko enjoys it, and BvS points out
> >> if bd really could be kicked once for every CFI (it's been called
> >> Unbridled Hostility by some), it would be a very interesting way to
> >> win (5 points per kick).  Of course, this can't happen, because even
> >> if what he did was kickable, you can only get kicked once per forum
> >> message.
> >
> >But we're not kicking em for eir forum message - we're kicking em for
> >actions taking therein. E may not be kicked twice for the same action
> >taken,
> >but the per forum thing is for issues where the kick is delivered not for
> >what game action e took, but for what message e sent (for example, if e
> >were
> >to send an HTML message).
> >
> >I believe I can kick em 1001 times, once per offensive action taken.
> >
> >The Baron, however, cannot perform all those kicks, as I already kicked 
>bd
> >for all those actions.
> >
> >I would then like to point out that the buttplates rule does not 
>supercede
> >the kicking rule; therefore, while bd does gain the attribute 
>'buttplated',
> >it does not stop me from gaining well over 1000 points (5005, to be 
>exact),
> >or from gaining the attribute 'Supreme Kicker of Asses'.
>
>From Rule 260: "Multiple Kicks in the Ass may not be given in response to a 
>single Action or Forum message."
>
>Guess we need a ruling on whether that's an inclusive "or" or an exclusive 
>"or".
>
>Aside from that, we might have a problem kicking bd once per action taken, 
>since any single one of those 1001 actions (Scheherazade Nomic?) isn't all 
>that offensive...just stupid.  It's the amassing of them that's offensive.  
>For example, if I take my portion of them (70-some, wasn't it?), I could 
>regard it as a shitload of judgment work I'd probably be stuck with, a 
>massive insult to my intelligence, a waste of perfectly good email archive 
>space, etc.  But any one of those 70-some wouldn't be that much work to 
>judge, might be funny in a retro-uin sorta thang, wouldn't consume that 
>much space, and so on...
>
>Aha!  Now I see it.  "Action" was redefined in the context of Rule 260: 
>"Whenever a player performs an action that is on the List of Generally 
>Abhorred Stuff in a public forum, any player may respond in a public forum 
>to the forum message containing that action, indicating that e is giving 
>that player a Kick in the Ass, and the reason why."  So even though that 
>message contained 1001 game actions, the collective mass of them produce a 
>single kick-in-the-ass action.  And since Unbridled Hostility against the 
>collective body of players is sort of part of the game, I'd say this body 
>of game actions resulted in one kick-in-the-ass action of Unbridled 
>Hostility (insulted intelligence, spammage, etc) against each player 
>individually.  So whoever feels offended by bd's game-action collection 
>gets eir own kick.  One kick apiece.
>
>That's still, what, 14 kicks?  Works for me.

-[[Pardon me while I grin massively. Even if there won't be two wins and/or 
blowups, I've still kicked bd for everyone else. That's what, 70 points? 
Cool, I'm not in last place any more.]]-
