The office of Tailor is really kind of obnoxious. Here's something that I hope will help.
Proto-proposal: Pragmatic ribbons AI=2 Amend rule 2199 (Ribbons) as follows: 1) Replace the text: Ribbons are gained as follows, unless the player already possesses the color of Ribbon to be gained: with the text: A player becomes eligible for a ribbon as follows: 2) Replace all instances of "gains" with "becomes eligible for" 3) Before the last paragraph insert the text: When a player has become eligible for a ribbon within the last 7 days and does not already have that ribbon, e CAN award emself that ribbon by announcement. Any such announcement is ineffective unless it clearly and unambigiously specifies the event that made em eligible. -- Taral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Please let me know if there's any further trouble I can give you." -- Unknown
