cfj revamping version 2.0

Replace the following from law 1.6

CfJs continue until they reach a quorum of FOR votes, a quorum of AGAINST votes, or until four days have passed.

with

CfJs continue until they reach a quorum of FOR votes, a quorum of AGAINST votes, or if there is no hiatus going on, until four days have passed, and if there is a hiatus going on until two days have passed.

Replace the following from Law 1.9

Every Protagonist may respond to the Declaration of Victory saying whether e regards it as legal or illegal (using the FOR, AGAINST and DEFERENTIAL icons). If more than half of all Protagonists consider the win legal, then the poster of the Declaration is considered to have officially won the Dynasty - the Dynasty ends. If more than half consider it illegal, and if no CfJs remain pending, however, then the Hiatus ends and the current Dynasty continues. If no clear decision is reached after 24 hours, the Narrator may optionally step in and decide the win’s legality.

Every Protagonist may respond to the Declaration of Victory saying whether e regards it as legal or illegal (using the FOR, AGAINST and DEFERENTIAL icons).  The following stipulations must be true before a DoV may pass or fail.
* 12 hours have passed since the posting of the DoV.
* If less than 24 hours have passed since the posting of the DoV the current Narrator has voted upon the DoV.
If both of these stipulations are true and at least half of all Protagonists have voted FOR the DoV passes and the poster of the Declaration is considered to have officially won the Dynasty - the Dynasty ends.  If both of these stipulations are true and at least half of all Protagonists have voted AGAINST the DoV the the DoV fails.  If no clear decision is reached after 24 hours, the Narrator may optionally Pass or Fail the DoV on his own accord.

Hiatus may not end if either of the following stipulations are false and ends once they are both true:
* There is no active DoV.
* There are no pending CFJs.

Heh. Good ideas. Why should we change “more than half” to “at least half”?

“* If less than 24 hours have passed since the posting of the DoV, the current Narrator must have voted upon the DoV.” I think that will help clear it up a little. Otherwise, I like it.

Angry Grasshopper: it could prevent a deadlock if the Narrator vanishes before 24 hours have passed on the DoV. So when there are 10-10 votes, it will pass instead of deadlock.
