Proposal: Insert Veto Icon Here

Self-Killed.  -Bucky

Adminned at 02 Dec 2009 18:03:56 UTC

If the Proposal titled “Veto Express, Now With Absolutely No Scam Whatsoever” failed, this Proposal does nothing.

Add the following to Rule 1.5 Enactment:

When the Artisan votes to VETO a Proposal, any Admin may fail that Proposal from that moment on, even if it is not the oldest Pending Proposal.

Remove the bullet point reading:

The Artisan has voted to VETO it

from Rule 1.5 Enactment.

If at least half of all EVCs on this proposal also contain the text “OVERTURN”, replace the text:

The Artisan may vote to VETO any Proposal.

in Rule 1.8 Dynasties with:

The Artisan may vote to VETO any Proposal, unless at least a Quorum of Apprentices have voted FOR it.

I fixed the complaints from the last proposal.

imperial OVERTURN

The veto power exists so that an emperor has control over their dynasty. Letting it be over turned by a simple majority weakens the emperor’s power. If the emperor is abusing the veto power, the CfJ exists as a means for fixing that, but why prematurely limit the emperor’s fun?

Oh: major flaw.  This will add the same sentence to the ruleset twice, or no times, depending on how your other proposal turned out.

It’s sometimes important for the Emperor to be able to veto an otherwise popular proposal - we occasionally don’t notice that something will break the ruleset until after it’s had a lot of votes, and it can take a while to put the brakes on. CfJs are always an easy way to overturn the edicts of a veto-crazed Emperor.

against As it happens, I like the veto rule as it is, end-of-proposal-queue-reolution and all.

@Wak: It’s an optional thing. You have to include OVERTURN with your EVC for it to take effect.

Or, you know, not include OVERTURN, but have four other players include it. If the half-EVC clause is damaging enough that a player doesn’t want it, they won’t want an unknown chance of it either.

This proposal now does nothing, since the other prop failed.
