Add a new rule to the Special Case rules titled “Emperor’s Vizier” with the text
If the last vote cast by the Narrator is DEFERENTIAL on a votable matter the following list determines what type of vote has been cast:
*If the number of DEFERENTIAL votes cast by non-Narrators equals or exceeds half of the votes on the votable matter, the Narrator is considered to have not cast a vote on this particular matter.
*If the Narrator’s vote is the only one cast on the votable matter it is considered a vote of AGAINST.
*Otherwise the Narrator’s vote is taken as the majority of valid AGAINST or FOR votes that are currently cast on the votable matter.
Kevan likes to use this a lot so why not just leave it in the ruleset and let it be turned off if other Emperors don’t like it
Kevan: he/him
Not sure I follow the first bullet point here - it’s for cases where there are more FOR/AGA votes than DEF votes? Why would we want the Emperor’s DEF to switch off at that point?
For what it’s worth, past dynasties have used eg. “If the Doctor has voted DEFERENTIAL on a proposal, that vote is instead considered to be valid and either FOR (if more players have voted FOR the proposal than have voted AGAINST it) or AGAINST (in all other cases).” - which I think cascades out correctly if the proposal has a mix of FOR, AGA and DEF.
