Remove the paragraph beginning “The Declaration of Victory may be resolved†from Rule 1.9.
Add the following before the paragraph in Rule 1.9 beginning “When a DoV passesâ€:
A DoV passes if any of the following is true:
* It has been open for voting for 12 hours, has a number of FOR votes that exceed or equal Quorum, and either the Emperor has voted FOR it or it has no AGAINST votes.
* It has been open for voting for at least 24 hours, has a number of FOR votes that exceed or equal Quorum.
* It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours, at least Quorum Colonists have voted on it, and more than half of its votes are FOR.A DoV fails if any of the following are true:
* It has been open for voting for 12 hours, has enough AGAINST votes that it could not be Enacted without one of those votes being changed.
* It has been open for voting for at least 24 hours, at least Quorum Colonists have voted on it, and more than half of its votes are AGAINST.
* It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and cannot be legally passed.When a DoV fails and there are no pending DoVs, Hiatus ends.
Stealing someone else’s proposal seems like bad form but if we’re going to get it passed before the end of the dynasty it should really go up now.
A few changes to Ornithopter’s original post: accelerated passage can now be dependent on the Emperor’s assent, rather than just the fact of him having voted; accellerated failure is reliant on antiquorum; DoVs automatically fail after 48 hours if met with resounding apathy.
