Proposal: a

Timed out. Fails 4-6—Clucky

Adminned at 26 Aug 2021 22:33:54 UTC

Add to Statistics:

As a weekly communal action, a Legislator can halve (rounding towards zero) the Empathy of all Legislators

Add to the list in The Veto List:

The Proposal’s author is a Legislator or the Wielder of Vetoes.

did you know that this is a proposal?

giving empathy some use and making it less of a hoardy resource

I had another idea for this: that Legislators could cash in positive Empathy to cast vetoes of their own.

really not a fan of punishing players for voting against proposals. we’ve already seen a couple of proposals maybe pass for not having enough players firmly come down on the side of voting against them

I think the weekly decay defeats the purpose of tracking statistics.

how so? like this people have a greater chance of being close with whoever is in the lead

This was posted after “Cross Handoff” enacted. So, if the part of Cross Handoff after “The Proposal’s Author is not Clucky” also imposed a property, this is Misfit.

Whether “the Handoff action works” part is a property that this proposal fails to fulfil is debatable, and I haven’t come to a firm conclusion on that yet – I’ll wait for further discussion about that on the DoV thread before vetoing.

If the DoV passes, then I think this unambiguously doesn’t get vetoed. If the Handoff action works in theory but Clucky failed to take it (e.g. because dead… didn’t register correctly), I think it also doesn’t get vetoed. If the Handoff action doesn’t work even in theory, I can see an argument for vetoing, depending somewhat on how we define “property”.

Is it intended that this makes a proposal Misfit when its author goes idle?

Oh, even at any time giving a against is grounds for non empathy
