Proposal: Hiatus Proposal Timeout

Fails 1-9 with Quorum against. -Bucky

Before the paragraph

Whenever an Admin marks a proposal, CfJ, or DoV as enacted or failed, they must also mark their name, and report the final tally of Votes (or the fact that it was self-killed or vetoed).

in rule 1.6 Resolution of Proposals, insert the following paragraph:

Notwithstanding the above lists, no proposal may be resolved in the 12 hours immediately following the end of hiatus. No proposal that was proposed less than 12 hours before hiatus began may be resolved until 24 hours after the end of hiatus. Neither of the previous two sentences apply to a vetoed proposal.

Some months ago, the rules were changed to allow votes on proposals during hiatus. This was to eliminate confusion as to which votes were valid. An unintended consequence of this is that proposals can timeout during hiatus (note that they still may not be adminned).

I think you should have replaced “vetoed” with “vetoed or self-killed.”

Abstaining for now to give everyone else time to point out holes.

This slows the game down unnecessarily. Sure, proposals can time out during Hiatus, but there’s no real issue with that. People should just continue to vote during Hiatus.

The only reason I made the exemption for vetoed proposals was to make way for new proposals at the beginning of a dynasty.

And yet in some dynasties the initial proposal will be adopted within hours, as may be several subsequent proposals. Especially after a slow dynasty moving into one that looks interesting as a number of people may unidle and inflate the active player ratio.
