UN representatives: please post your team's vote in this thread after gathering their opinion. The admins will cast a tiebreaking vote if necessary.

Do you agree to the following amendments to the rules:

Current 2.4:

2.4 - Misleading through Renaming

Description: No team or individual is permitted to rename a unit or city with the intent of misleading or confusing opponents.

Definition: Cities can be renamed to names of tech or sums of gold or anything else in an effort to not trade what that opponent agreed to. Units can be renamed to other units and appear to be something else entirely.

Purpose: To prevent the misleading or confusion of another team through malicious use of in-game features.

Verdict: Using this 'feature' or any other feature or exploit that allows misleading or confusing another team is a violation of this rule.

Punishment Level: Once – Red (5-Expulsion and forfeiture of double what was not legally traded)

Proposed amendment (changes are in bold and italic):
2.4 - Renaming Units and Cities

Description: Teams are permitted to rename their units and cities as they please.

Definition: Cities can be renamed to names of tech or sums of gold or anything else in an effort to not trade what that opponent agreed to. Units can be renamed to other units and appear to be something else entirely. For this reason, we encourage teams to formally write out their trade proposals and submit it to the admins to prevent this from happening.

Purpose: To prevent the misleading or confusion of another team through malicious use of in-game features.

Verdict: Using this 'feature' or any other feature or exploit that allows misleading or confusing another team is a violation of this rule.

Punishment Level: Once – Red (5-Expulsion and forfeiture of double what was not legally traded)

Option 1 - Yes, my team supports this amendment.

Option 2 - No, my team does not support this amendment.

Option 3 - Abstain.

Oops -- must have been interrupted after posting our internal team vote on the other (fairness) amendment and before posting this one.

We (Doughnuts) now have a team poll scheduled for 2 days. You can expect the team vote to be posted promptly after our internal poll expires.

This amendment fails.

There are no current amendments in progress.

And hopefully it will stay this way for a while...

Sorry to dash your hopes but rule 2.4 stinks and I will make a new proposal soon. If the new proposal fails I'll write another and keep at it until this rule is fixed.

Fine by me, the above was my opinion on things.
