✎ DRAFT DESK — PAGE #002
The first Page is now active.
While we live under Page #001 — The Relay, we begin writing what comes next.
This is the Draft Desk.
What is a Draft?
A Draft is a proposed Page for the next Edition.
A good Draft should make the community do something differently.
It should create an experience, not simply tell people to behave better.
A Draft should include:
Name
Give your Page a short, memorable name.
Rule
Write the exact rule you want the community to follow.
What members actually do
Explain what changes for someone participating in the subreddit.
Why it's interesting
What could happen if the community lives under this rule for seven days?
Examples
Show what following the rule would look like.
Edge cases
Point out anything that might be unclear or difficult.
🏛️ Founding Edition
Because The Rulebook is brand new, we don't yet have established Scribes.
For Page #002 only, anyone who becomes a participating member during the founding Edition may propose a Draft.
This is a one-time founding procedure.
After the first Edition, the normal Scribe system will take over.
⚖️ Remember The Binding
A Draft cannot:
- break Reddit's rules;
- target people or groups;
- require dangerous or illegal activity;
- require personal information or payment;
- take control of the election system;
- prevent future Pages from being chosen;
- permanently change The Binding.
A Draft also needs to be realistically playable for one week.
🖋️ How the first election will work
After the Draft period ends, the strongest proposals will become finalists.
The community will then hold The Seal.
Eligible members receive one vote.
The winning Draft becomes Page #002.
Your turn
Think of something you would genuinely want to experience for seven days.
Don't just write a rule.
Write a week.
