I think this is a pretty quick route to a roll-off victory proposal. You’d only need three confederates to pull it off, even if the rest of the department and the CEO all vote against.

The CEO could still veto if they were awake before it reached 12 hours, but that’s small comfort.

More trivially, we’d probably see a round of “give everyone in this department 100 options” memos.

I like the idea, though, and was considering proposing something like it. I think it just needs to restrict a memo’s effects to gamestate changes that other departments wouldn’t care about - which right now is maybe just the hierarchy of the memo’s own department.

@Kevan I tried to think of a way to do that, but couldn’t come up with anything better than “The CEO should Veto any proposal which would allow an unfair advantage to any department” which has more holes than a sponge.

I’d throw “its effects are limited to changing the ranks of members of that Department,” into the list of what defines a Departmental Proposal. It’s narrow, but it would be a good way to allow Departments to sort themselves out, and could be expanded later on.

:D

“its effects are limited to changing the ranks of members of that Department” is in there now.

Yep, I added it because getting the mechanic started is more important for what I was trying to do than any exact details. I’d prefer it being able to do more (create new actions each department can make for example) but that can come later.

We’re going to have some weird timing effects, but I guess we can try it.

There are some fun mechanics around people voting and them moving teams here but that seems rare enough its probably okay

a departmental proposal sure does seem interesting
