Proposal: Garrymandering Deadlock Prevention

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 24 Sep 2016 17:07:18 UTC

Append the following to the rule “Gerrymander”:

* If a Councillor attempts to Gerrymander a block to a Constituency represented by that Councillor, they attempt is successful only if this block have not been Gerrymandered this week

If a majority of EVCs to this proposal contain a word ‘MOAR’, replace ‘8’ with ‘7’ and ‘12’ with ‘13’ in the rule “Gerrymander”.

against Due to not knowing how the EVC rider will turn out; I don’t want the numbers changed and can’t commit to thread-sitting.

imperial I do want the numbers changed, so, MOAR and whatnot.

I prefer EVC riders to mandate a regular quorum, really, just so that people don’t have to vote AGAINST it out of worry for the EVC clause; yes, it means that even with a majority of the EVCs naming the clause and the proposal passing, it might not trigger, but someone could always just repropose it separately in cases like that.

(I mean I guess a vote FOR without the EVC trigger could lead to the trigger… triggering, in a case like that, if there was a vote AGAINST naming the trigger, but I digress.)

for Intentional exclusion of the EVC trigger word.

against Because the Gerrymandering limit change doesn’t seem necessary, and this proposal is asking me if four players should decide whether that change occurs.

OK, my bad - didn’t thought about it.
Limit change aside, what do you think of the main addition (preventing the players from capturing the same block over and over)

If flips the current timing issue (taking the action as late as possible in a week) into the opposite, and I’m not sure how much difference that makes. It’s also a bit awkward to have to remember who’s changed which square.
