Also I realize that the choice of Proposal to try and do this with is slightly ironic but here I go again... I have recently Transferred 2 P-Notes to the Bank for the sole purpose of raising the Priority of My Proposal "Secret Proposals" by 2. [ Message-Id: <199911171750.RAA02105@renko.ucs.ed.ac.uk> 17 Nov 99 17:59:57 +0000 egroups number 2956 ] Also Rule 1771/6 (Power=1) Changing Priority A Player may increase the Priority of a Proposal in the Queue, by indicating in the Public Forum that e does so, naming the integer amount by which the Priority is to be increased, and transferring to the Bank a number of P-Notes equal to the amount of the increase times the Priority Cost of that Proposal, provided that the transfer is not executed for any other purpose. In recent events Promotor Wes allowed me to increase the Priority of Proposals by posting messages to the PF *some time after* I originally made those TOs. If I was to now attempt to increase the Priority of "Secret Proposals" by 2, it would succeed as I would have indicated that I am doing so in the PF, and have transferred to the Bank "a Number of P-Notes equal to the amount of the increase times the Priority Cost of that Proposal". Also that TO has not been executed for any reason other than increasing the Priority of "Secret Proposals" By 2. It is clear from Wes' previous decisions that the TO does not have to made in the same message that of the Priority increase. There may be those who argue, that the transfer was executed for the purpose of increasing the Priority of "Secret Proposals" once and once only. However, the is nothing stated in the Rules that this is explicitly the case, and I don't think that this (exactly) has ever been tried before so game precedent doesn't come into this. So, I don't see why a TO that is made to allow a certain action can't allow that certain action repeatedly if nothing states otherwise Also, people may argue that, this would be increasing the Priority of the Proposal by more than one and that was not the reason why the TO was executed. This best way I can see to argue around this is that... If I was to make another TO to increase the Proposal by some amount , would the first Priority increase then fail as it indirectly caused the Priority of the Proposal to be increased by an amount above the level the TO was made for? This isn't exactly the same, but the same principle applies. The steps occur individually, thus what has gone on before and what is about to go on afterwards does not matter. So...

Think of one increase as "getting the Proposal closer to making the next Batch", the second as "getting the Proposal into the next Batch", and the third as "making it tough to knock this Proposal out of the Batch". These are different on a conceptual level. More objectively, think of one increase as "increasing the Proposal's Priority on November 18", and the second as "increasing its Priority on November 19". These are different on a chronological level. And putting them all into one message doesn't help; see Rule 1527. ======================================================================
