Proposal: [Core] Popularity Contest

Timed out 6-0. Enacted by card.

Adminned at 11 Jul 2017 20:47:42 UTC

Replace the “Core Rules” section of the Ruleset with that found at https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=OneVoteCore&oldid=4438 .

If the proposal “[Core] I choose you!” passed, add to “Votes” under “Votable Matters”, after the paragraph about DEFERENTIAL votes:

An Explorer other than the Expedition Leaders may make a PREFERENTIAL vote. It is a vote of confidence in that particular Expedition Leader. A PREFERENTIAL vote is in the form of :X:, where X is the name of an Expedition Leader. When an Expedition Leader has a valid vote other than VETO or PREFERENTIAL, all PREFERENTIAL votes with the name of that Expedition Leader become the same as that Expedition Leader’s Vote for the purposes of other rules unless otherwise specified.

As a newbie, the slight differences between voting systems for Proposals, CfJs, and DoVs were a sharp edge. This tries to isolate the core of what we have in each of the individual voting systems to the notion of Popularity vs. Unpopularity, and then each of the votable matter categories build off that concept in a way that displays the differences in a uniform manner. The intent is to be logically equivalent to the current voting rules, except that DEF votes count in CfJs and DoVs (should they not?).

It’s on a wiki page with the current Core as the first revision, so you can see the differences from the original Core here: https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=OneVoteCore&diff=4438&oldid=4433 .

And then, so as to not steamroll over Card’s PREFs, another version with those is available. For those, I also added that Expedition Leaders cannot PREF.

Note, this proposal was originally posted linking to the oldid=4435 version of that page, I’ve since updated to revision 4438.

Huge thanks for this. Will take me a bit to read/review it all though.

(I think I’ll just skip asking for changes on minor stuff and just propose that stuff later too)

Todo list of corrections if this becomes enacted:
“if all of the following are ture:”
The fact that when there is only one Emperor, their vote can never be a quorum.
The removal of the failing condition “It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours and cannot be Enacted.” should be reinstated, otherwise we might have to wait 7 days to fail a particular DoV or proposal. Just in case something is popular and has been open for 48 hours, but couldn’t be enacted for whatever reason. Should be easy to add it to the Vote section.

for not that those corrections need to happen in this proposal.

Another small issue to be fixed: “It has been open for voting for at least 48 hours is not Popular.”

Card: Isn’t quorum of a single emperor simply one, so the same behaviour as currently?
