Temporary Ammendment 213/214:A

The following is a temporary ammedment to the R.O's, since what it 
attempts to accomplish cannot be done by an Overrule Proposal.  As such, 
its voting period is 7 days.

-----------213/214:A---AMMENDMENT TO THE REGULAR ORDINANCES------
Duration of Effects:
1) This ammendment shall be considered to have retroactively applied 
from the time when Matthew Schuler first announced the theme for round 214.
2) This ammendment shall delete itself and leave the Regular Ordinances 
just as they were at the end of round 212, as soon as three things have 
ALL happened:
    a) Round 213 has officially ended.
    b) Round 214 has officially ended.
    c) This Ammendment has come into effect.

Main Thrust: That rounds 213 and rounds 214 be played simultaneously.

Fine print (hopefully just clarifying the obvious):
 Both rounds shall be deemed to have started when 214:1 & 213:1 were 
posted by Chris Huston.  Rules of one round embedded in rules of the 
other round count in both capacities.  R.O. 3 is suspended in the part 
where it talks about beginning a round until the part beginning "All 
members are eligible...".  Rules, Eligibility, Style, Overrule 
Proposals, and End of Game are reckoned for each round separately.  The 
Judge and Wizard of Round 214 is determined from Round 213, and hence 
cannot be known with certainty until Round 213 ends.  Nevertheless, they 
were the Judge/Wizard of Round 214 from the beginning.  When both round 
213 and round 214 end, the Judge/Wizard of Round 215 will be determined 
from round 214 in the usual manner.  Thus 5c should read "becomes Judge 
for the next round" where it says "becomes Judge".  The Judge/Wizard of 
Round 213 are the same individuals who they otherwise would be, 
initially both Matthew Schuler.  Each judge is responsible for the 
interpretation of what happens with respect to the round they Judge, and 
who the Judge and Wizard are for the next round.

A Final Necessary Additional Rule: R.O. 8's Default provision shall not 
apply to round 214. Thus players need not Judge all rules in Round 214 
while unsure of their Judge status, unless they want to.
-------------END OF 
AMMENDMENT--------------------------------------------------------------
