Election Year

Create a new Dynastic Rule “Election” With the text:

Each Candidate has a statistic ‘Votes’ tracked in the GDNT.  A Candidate’s Votes can be any whole number.  The default value for any new Candidate is equal to the ‘Votes’ of the Candidate with the lowest number of Votes.

Each Candidate also has a statistic GDNT ‘Endorses’ which is tracked in the GDNT.  ‘Endorses’ can be the name of any active Candidate.  A candidate is said to Endorse whichever Candidate is listed under their Endorses.  If at any time a Candidate is Endorsing anyone other than an active Candidate, that Candidate then is set to Endorse themselves.  A Candidate may, as a weekly action, change their Endorse to any active Candidate.

A Candidate’s Total Votes is the sum total of the votes of all Candidates that Endorse them.

On the date 10-4-2008 at 00:00:00 GMT the Candidate with the highest number of Total Votes has achieved victory.

Set each Candidate’s Votes to 100 and set each Candidates Endorse to themselves.

This comment would include a for vote if this post were a proposal.

Since this will need to be reposted, I would suggest that we call “Votes” something else (such as ballots, supporters, or electorates).  Vote has a specific meaning in the Core ruleset rule 1.4.  Unless of course, President Trog is looking to possibly open loopholes in the core ruleset.
