So, here are the official rules so far:
1. No jackassery or analogue thereof.
2. No threats. Except, of course, in the form of rules.
3. You must raise your hand to speak.
This is the extent of today (Wednesday)'s productivity, after an
estimated twenty-five minutes or so. Not to mention the previous few
days. We don't have punishments for breaking the rules yet. We
haven't, in fact, decided on the leader's official authority or limit
thereof. And none of it has even been put on paper in any case...
Pardon the rant, but to get the rules written down during this
semester, I think we have to do at least one of a few things:
a) Get a (probably large) sheet of paper on which to write the official rules.
b) Get everyone's email and tell them to check it for all rulings. Or
make an official website. Probably impractical to look up rules on
the internet when there aren't any computers in Limberg's room.
c) Be really excessively harsh and despotic about non-hand-raised
yapping. I don't like this option, and I'm not good at being evil,
but if that's what it requires, I'll make some attempt at it.
d) Anything you can think of?
In the meantime, here are my rules suggestions...
1. If you really have to make some numbskulled off-topic comment, you
can whisper.
2. The leader can be voted down with and only with a 2/3 majority.
Only do it, though, when it's an obviously jackassed abuse of power.
3. Possible punishments for jackassery (or stuff in general): Loss of
leader privileges, or... ooh ooh! Skillz!
Punishment: Being forced to calculate the number of seconds until
something the leader thinks up. (Like, until Christmas. Or the
weekend.) To the nearest hundred seconds or so.
As an aside: I supposed it would be prudent to put your emails in the
bcc thing, in case you don't want [insert a name] to stalk your email
address or something. Alert me if you guys want to start officially
existing. (Yes, Michelle, the word "guys" disregards gender.)
Any comments, ideas, questions, or whatever?
