Having everyone say in a thread that they want to adopt the rules is just as good as a vote. If need be, I can go back and copy those posts.
The rules were posted as is because the semantics were discussed in the thread where they were proposed. One of which said that the post must involve the entire team in some way. The teams and characters mentioned in the rules were merely examples and not the only ones that they apply to. Maybe we should have added TTT's suggestion of the No nitpicking rule to get past all this.
Anyone who blames the rules for the lack of posting is full of shit.
Since Gooz has effectively cut off the one active roster member of the team (only active because Gooz just started writing him again) in his plot, this isolates the story he's writing from the one that involves the rest of the team over a thousand miles away. There is no way that it can affect them now. Maybe later, but not now. It's a solo story and should be treated like one. Despite the fact that Gooz hates solo threads.
I'm not trying to kill Gooz's story. On the contrary, I'm trying to make sure that it is given its own room as well as not take away attention from the main story, which is already waning in the absence of active posters.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
