Proposal: Days until Halloween

Timed out, 10-0. Enacted by TyGuy6.

Adminned at 25 Oct 2021 07:46:52 UTC

In the Rule “Whose to Sell?”, change “and has a Top Bid which is at least 12 hours old, any Realtor may close it by” to

and has a Top Bid which is at least 24 hours old, any Realtor may close it by

If the Proposal “Let’s Go Slow” did not pass, change “As a Daily Action, a Realtor may Auction the rights to sell a House” to

If they have not done so in the last 72 hours, a Realtor may Auction the rights to sell a House

As per requests, let’s adjust the pace of these Auctions, or Bucks and Houses will be flying like flapjacks.

Might want to add a clause along the lines of “enact the Proposal described at https://blognomic.com/archive/approximauction if it failed” here.

[Brendan] Those “enact the failed proposal” clauses always feel a bit off to me, although I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe because I can’t cast votes that amount to “I don’t like [original proposal], but if it passes I’d prefer [this change]”. Or because what looks like a reasonable patch proposal to a voter in a hurry can potentially drag something back that ended up failing for good reason.

It’ll just have to not fail.

for @Kevan - “enact the failed proposal” clauses do have a weird perverse incentive, but in this case - where the original proposal is, in isolation, quite harmful - they’re useful. Anyone who doesn’t like the original can always vote AGAINST on the remedy as well.
