Add new rule, 318-FEE

[audiodude]

I've noticed that scores are not being updated particularly consistently, and decided to add some incentive for players to update each other's scores.

Also please note in advance that the rules of ACRONYM do not require that that words constituting the acronym make any kind of sense.

This is brilliant and much needed and I love the title, I vote 👍

Sorry I forgot how to nomic.

It seems by the new TIMER that this is older than 48 hours and the majority of players who voted voted in favor. Therefore it is "acceptable" and can be merged?

The rules of FAST still seem to imply that someone has to tally the vote (which I believe I am doing with this comment) and someone else has to merge the PR.

@audiodude yes, but not until your turn. If a sufficient number of 48-hour periods has elapsed since the last person who took a turn (I haven't checked), you can resolve all the turns in between theirs and yours yourself by doing merges (or penalties) for the absentee players, and then you can take your turn, merging your own.

Or, at least, that was the intent of my changes, I'm not sure I accomplished it with my prose. I'm still working on expressing that in a simpler way.

Sorry, the last turn was @bigjust. So I think it is currently my turn? Or my turn ends automatically once this is merged by any player?

@audiodude

• the timer script definitely needs to be updated for the new rule but i suppose it's still good enough for counting off 48-hour periods
• yes, (i think) we are currently within the 48-hour window in which you may propose a new rule if you wish but
• since this proposal is both acceptable and has existed long enough to give everyone who wants to a chance to comment/vote, anybody can now merge it, thus ending your turn
• if you don't act within your 48-hour window you can still take your turn as normal as long as nobody else gets around to resolving it for you
• there should be new language in the TIMER rule explicitly allowing you to merge your own commit and taking precedence over FAST

[audiodude]

Any player may accept (merge) The Player's first acceptable proposal.

So it sounds like I can already merge my own?

[datagrok]

Yes
