Call for Judgment: A Floor Divided

Unpopular at 0-8. Failed by Brendan.

Adminned at 29 Sep 2021 20:14:23 UTC

Repeal the rule “Household Unit.”

There have already been hundreds of messages on Discord about how to even calculate votes in the wake of this rule’s enactment, less than three hours ago. Proposals time out often enough already. Floor-sharing is a perfectly good start for some kind of instrument in the game, but it shouldn’t end up flattening the tires of the core mechanism of Blognomic itself.

A less destructive option would be to immediately enact Basement Bandwagon. If it passed right now, the only Floormates would be Chiika/Cuddles and Brendan/Clucky.

Oh and Tara/Jumble, but only because they chose to go to the same floor.

I quite like the forced cooperation it brings. Once we spread out a bit and add incentives for various floors, it should make deciding what you want to do / how you want to vote a much more strategic decision of balancing direct progress and retaining your ability to vote freely. It just maybe wasn’t a great idea to enact it with us so close together.

To be clear, I have zero interest in a “less destructive option.” If that’s your preference, I suggest raising a second CfJ and seeing if you can get it to pass within 48 hours.

I think this is a poor use of a CfJ, too

against It isn’t urgent, the game *can* continue without this passing, and there’s no disagreement about what the rules mean, so I really think this should have been a proposal

against There have been many messages, it is true, but they’re largely speculative. And CFJs exist precisely to settle disputes over interpretation. If the problem is a dispute over interpretation, then that should be the substance of the CFJ. If the problem is a badly written rule, then why not amend rather than repeal?

against Unless no admins are willing to process the proposals, I wouldn’t call this urgent.
