Lerner 2001-09-05 19:20:04 INVALID +0 Full judgements: 168:1 Alan Riddell 2001-09-05 15:11:09 VALID +1 >>>> > Help me please! Build me a house, to be filled with lots of shiny things. > All future rules shall either help in the construction of my house, or with > the collection of shiny things to put inside it. >>>> Validity: No problems. Style: A nice, simple start to the round, in an appealing style. +1 168:2 Jeremy D. Selengut 2001-09-05 15:34:20 VALID +1.5 >>>> > When Alan calls for help, we of the FRC help, of course (isn't this the > Friendly Relations Club, after all?). Of course, beggars can't be > choosers, so watch out what you get, Alan. My dog Franc and I dig out the > cellar, and pour the concrete for the foundation. Of course, we've never > done this before, so I really hope it doesn't shift later on... > > Of course, since we are also the Fiscally Responsible Corporation, any > shiny thing or piece of work which is of high quality (will not break, > tarnish or malfunction in any way during the round) must be paid > for. Anything of high quality which is contributed to the house and not > paid for before each of Alan's rules must be paid for in the next rule by > Alan. Anything not paid for prior to or in Alan's rules are necessarily > not of high quality. > > Should the owner of the building site (presently Alan) become ineligible, > the author of the next valid rule becomes the new owner of the building > site and takes on all the responsibilities given to Alan in this rule (i.e. > final responsibility for paying for high quality items). >>>> Validity: No problems. Style: A good balance between narative and restriction, close to the limit of what I like a single rule to do at this stage. The fiscal responsibility requirement for high quality work promises to be an interesting dynamic in the round. +1.5 168:3 Richard S. Holmes 2001-09-05 16:01:44 VALID +1 >>>> > It'd be a shame if Jeremy's foundation were not of high quality and > started to shift or crack. Likewise the floor joists now being > installed by the Floor and Roofing Corporation. Good thing Alan can > have one or more construction items and/or shiny things removed in his > rules -- if he can pay the cost of removal, and if no other unremoved > item has been installed more recently than the items being removed. > > The floor joists cost 8000 frocloos, Alan. Or if you don't like them, > it's 1000 frocloos to remove them. >>>> Validity: No problems. Style: Removing things isn't much in the spirit of building, but it could be better than shoddy workmanship. I like the limitation that removed items must be paid for. Of course, so far Alan's budget is unlimited. FRC references tend to get tedious, but I rather like "Floor and Roofing Corporation" - very natural. +1 168:4 David L. Lerner 2001-09-05 19:20:04 INVALID +0 >>>> > Naturally, Alan's house must conform to all local regulations. And, in this > area, all construction is overseen by the Fabrication Regulations Committee. > > In order to boost local business the Fabrication Regulations Committee > requires all individuals and agencies involved in constructing a building to > have associative ties. Therefore, every rule, starting w/ the second rule, > must mention at least one group w/ the initials FRC. >>>> Validity: This rule helps with neither the construction of Alan's house, nor filling it with shiny things, as required by 168:1. INVALID. Style: Doesn't have anything to do with building, and the connection between the restriction and the Fabrication Regulations Committee is weak. +0 -- Rule Date: 2001-09-06 14:07:24 GMT
