Proposal: Metastasis

Reached quorum 12 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

In the rule “Next Emperor Showdown”, replace “if there is a tie in which option is selected by the most non-blank Ballots, or the option selected by the most Ballots is “Meta”” with:-

if the option selected by the most Ballots is “Meta”

And add another bullet point before the first:-

if there is a tie in which option is selected by the most non-blank Ballots, the date “Friday 30 April” shall be replaced with a date two days after it, throughout this rule

Not sure that a tied vote should trigger a Metadynasty - if pro-Meta players are in a minority, they’d just have to engineer a tie to get the result they want (and even a single pro-Meta player could force a tie in a close race). This proposes extending the election by two days, each time we end up with a tie-break.
