Proposal: Deadline

Timed out, 2-0. Enacted by JonathanDark.

Adminned at 10 Jun 2024 21:57:39 UTC

In the section named Drawing, replace:

The time which the most recent Drawing was conducted is publicly tracked on the dynastic tracking page

With:

The time which the most recent Drawing was conducted is publicly tracked on the dynastic tracking page

The most recent Drawing is considered Open until the Publisher has posted a Judging after that Drawing has been Open.

In the section named Judging, replace:

If, since the most recent Drawing action, the Publisher has received Creative Writings from all Storytellers, whichever comes first, the Publisher should resolve all unresolved Creative Writings and make a Story Post called a Judging:

With:

If, since the most recent Drawing action, the Publisher has received Creative Writings from a quorum of Storytellers, the Publisher can announce a Drawing Deadline by making a story post with:

- the title “Drawing Deadline: ”, followed by the time of the current Drawing . 
- body text of “Last call for Creative Writings”.

If, since the most recent Drawing action, if any of the following are true:

- The Publisher has received Creative Writings from all Storytellers.
- The Drawing has been open for 24 hours after the Publisher has announced a Drawing Deadline, as measured by the timestamp on the Drawing Deadline story post

The Publisher should resolve all unresolved Creative Writings and make a Story Post called a Judging:

In the section named Scoring, replace:

When the Publisher receives at least one valid Scoring Response from every Storyteller for an Open Judging, at their earliest convenience the Publisher should perform the Publishing atomic action.

With:

If, since the most recent Open Judging post, the Publisher has received a valid Scoring Response for an Open Judging from a quorum of Storytellers, the Publisher can announce a Judging Deadline by making a comment to the current Open Judgement with:

- the text “Scoring Deadline.  Last call for Scorings”

If, since the most Open Judging post, if any of the following are true:

- The publisher has received a valid Scoring Response for an Open Judging from every Storyteller.
- The Judging has been open for 24 hours after the Publisher has announced a Scoring Deadline, as measured by the timestamp on the Scoring Deadline comment.

at their earliest convenience, the Publish should preform the Publishing atomic action.

 

A suggestion to keep the dynasty moving.  This will allow the Publisher an opportunity to establish a deadline after a majority of Storytellers have replied to a Drawing or Judging.  If we can’t get a quorum to reply rather quickly that’s a different problem.  I’m hoping this will serve as a call to get posts in and as way to move things forward.

Happy for any comments around that text above, I gave it my best shot.

The only issue I see is that, while we have the notion of Open for Judging, we don’t have the same for Drawing, so the phrase “while a Drawing is open” is technically undefined as to what that means.

I’d just add “The most recent Drawing is considered Open until the Publisher has posted a Judging after that Drawing has been Open.”

Is it clear enough that “The Publisher should resolve all unresolved Creative Writings and make a Story Post called a Judging” is part of the earlier if-clause?
