As it currently stands, a Motion’s discussion ends 24 hours after the last comment is posted. However, there’s nothing stopping someone from posting a comment each day and prolonging a Motion indefinitely. In fact, it doesn’t even have to be a player. Any random spammer, troll, or idle player could stop the entire Dynasty.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Maybe I presume too much, but I think Chronos would allow the spammer/troll/idler loophole to be closed via proposal.
Although those who are not iudices certainly should not be able to hold things up I think that filibusters by authorized iudices is in keeping with the dynasty.
Although maybe some sort of possibility of a subsidiary motion to close discussion with different rules on how it could be prolonged would be in order.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
