Proposer's summary and declarations
This is my long-awaited plan for making the population dynamic - under this rule, the Citizens of Nomicapolis will be born, live, and die in a pseudo-realistic cycle. Once again, this is just framework for whatever purpose these people are going to have. Debate will end on this proposal at 9 p.m. (EST) Friday, January 12, 2007.

I originally tacked this on to the Judge's duties because he already has the duty of keeping up with population - then I remembered the clause I put in at the end of 330. Check out the modifications to this proposal on the article page... Applejuicefool 10:20, 11 January 2007 (EST)
Debate
Not that I really want added responsiblity, but I think the population should be a function of the Scorekeeper. I make this suggestion because this is more a statistic and sort of out of game. Where I see the Judge's sole responsiblity being maintaining the rules and any "in game" problems. And then could we make this an amendment to 330? Might just rewrite 330 and then add this at the bottom or something. I'd just like to avoid the situation of rule 303 and 313that we had a while back. Where while neither rule by itself is bad together it just creates more to deal with. --Dayd 20:28, 9 January 2007 (EST)
I have to agree that I see the population as not falling under the Judge's jurisdiction. If not the Scorekeeper, maybe we should have a dedicated 'Census-taker' for the supervision of our little people. Its a minor quibble though; I'd probably vote AYE for this as it stands. --Finisterre 08:14, 11 January 2007 (EST)
Having little to nothing to do at work I entered the proposed population data into a mathematical model and crunched some numbers- the proposed figures will give the following results:
- month 1: 52,500
- month 13: 343,125
- month 25: 2,829,492
- month 37: 23,183,035
Thats a population growth rate of 16% per month! So there you go, now you know. --Finisterre 12:18, 11 January 2007 (EST)
- My thought is that Nomicapolitans live on a somewhat accelerated life scale - they are born, live, and die in 7 months after all. That means 1 Human month is approximately equal to 12 Nomicapolitan years - somewhere in there anyway. Also, Nomic citizens are fat and happy right now - they don't need anything or have any problems. If we give them some needs (Food, etc.) or some problems (crime, war, etc.) to deal with, their population explosion will slow down (Page, shred this document before it is released to the public!!! lol).

- As long as we have some intention of checking population growth in the future...16% seems a little steep --Tucana25 21:43, 11 January 2007 (EST)
Debate is closed, this proposal must now be voted on. Applejuicefool 10:36, 14 January 2007 (EST)
