Proposal: Pre-Position

Quorums 5-0. — Quirck

Adminned at 07 Oct 2012 14:22:01 UTC

If there is a rule entitled Prefecture, add the following immediately after the words “A Prefect may act as a proxy for the Professor in certain matters”:

pertaining to setting the theme and direction of the Dynasty. Additionally, they have weakened versions of some of the Professor’s tools

If the rule does not continue to say “, described in this Rule.” then add that at the end of the newly added sentence.

Between the second and third paragraphs of that rule, add the following:

The Prefect has a weak veto power. They may use it by casting a VETO icon as their vote on a Proposal, but it only counts as a veto if the Professor comments on the same proposal with the word “ratified” written in Purple ink. The Prefect also has a mild influence on deferential votes; votes of DEFERENTIAL are considered to be the same as the Prefect’s at a rate of 0.5 per DEFERENTIAL vote (i.e., x DEF votes count as x/2 votes of the same type as the Prefect). This effect is only in place on a proposal while the Professor has not voted for that proposal; if the Professor has voted on that proposal then DEF votes are resolved normally and the Prefect’s vote is ignored for the purposes of resolving the proposal.

Ah. Yes. I forgot about that.

Other bit still works, though, even if vetoes can never be ratified.

Urgh, there’s some wording stuff that needs fixing - “if the Professor has voted on that proposal then DEF votes are resolved normally and the Prefect’s vote is ignored for the purposes of resolving the proposal” means that the Prefect’s vote is disregarded altogether, not just for resolving DEFs.

So this will need a bit of a patch.

Lesson for this lesson-themed dynasty: leave at least an hour and a pot of coffee between waking up and proposing.
