Proposal: Coattail Carriage

Passes 8-1. Enacted by Brendan.

Adminned at 27 Sep 2021 23:20:18 UTC

Enact a new subrule of “Floors” entitled “Movement Proposals” as follows:

If a Proposal includes the “[Movement]” tag, it is a Movement Proposal. If a Movement Proposal by a given Citizen is Pending, that Citizen may not create another Movement Proposal.

If a given Citizen’s EVC on a Movement Proposal contains the text Floor X, please (irrespective of capitalization), where X is a valid Floor, then if that Movement Proposal passes and if that Citizen’s effective vote on that Proposal was FOR or DEFERENTIAL, that Citizen’s Floor becomes X upon the Movement Proposal’s enactment. The enacting Admin can and should update the Citizen’s Floor value on the Earthlink Tower wiki page to reflect this change.

Do you mean if a proposal’s *title* contains a movement tag?

I think I’m probably for this. I do wonder the effect it has on proposal resolution — normally once a proposal reaches qurom it can safely pass because it doesn’t matter what other people vote. But with this, a movement proposal paying early could ice out people who didn’t get on on time to vote on it

I don’t like this because it involves timing.

As an admin, I could wait for everyone else to reveal what they want to do, if the Proposal fails, I net information, if I see that its about to pass, I sneak in my Floor X and Enact.

There could also be some shuffling in that, for example, I want to be on the same Floor as someone else but they don’t want to be on the same Floor as me so we’re constantly EVCing

imperial This does seem a bit of a voting soup, if early FOR voters may decide to change their votes (but may not have time to) based on who votes later and what Floors they request. Informally canvassing people and then proposing “move Brendan to Floor 7, Josh to Floor 6…” would be a more straightforward move in the same direction.

[Ienpw III] I’m taking the language in “Tags” as a starting point here; it says (eg) “Votable Matters require the [X] tag in order to (etc),” not “Votable Matters require the [X] tag in their title.”
