be putting the redundancy back in again

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
msbelle's currently working on assembling the votes results into a rules document -- prefacing that with a "how we vote" seems sensical. I think rolling the etiquette into that is a bit much, though. A lot of stuff.

What is even happening?
I remember with the first draft of the lawspeak there was a lot of redundancy we cut out, so it would basically be putting the redundancy back in again and reinserting it.Because redundancy is what Buffistas do best. Also, of the things Buffistas do, redundancy is that at which we're best.

So are we also good at doing the same thing again and again?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wait. The Rules should be WAY less prominent than the Etiquette. People need to not be assholes every day, but hardly anyone has to put forth a proposal.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
What jesse said, and not just to be redundant.

On a similar note, the Etiquette is getting kind of long. It was originally drafted as a short and easy--to-read alternative to the filky one, but now it's practically three full screens. Is there any way we could trim it to one or 1.5 screens? Most of the stuff in there can be boiled down to "don't be a jerk" anyhow.

So are we also good at doing the same thing again and again?Only in the sense that we do a good job at repeating ourselves over and over.
What jesse said, and not just to be redundant.Or repetitive, for that matter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, the FAQ is horribly out of date, while we're here.

So it sounds like the task list is:
1. Turn Cheesebutt into something called Rules;
2. Edit Etiquette to a reasonable length;
3. Update the FAQ;
4. (Maybe) add Rules to the links at the bottom of each page.
Am I missing anything?
