“Each Citizen has a desired destination, which is a floor number that is publicly tracked and which defaults to 1. A movement proposal is a proposal with the [Movement] tag that links to the specific edit of the Gamestate that was in effect when it was posted; when it is enacted, each citizen moves to the floor listed in their desired destination.”

How does that feel?

Solid, but a bit opaque, and still with some timing issues: if there are three Movement proposals in a row, a constantly-attentive player will be able to optimise their Destination to achieve great feats (even if the Movement proposals come from their rivals), while a player who slept through it will be stuck moving to the same Floor three times.

Has it led to problems yet?

It’s always hard to tell from the Imperial seat, but it’s definitely going against an intention of the dynasty - I wanted to tie game actions to proposals, so that players would have to negotiate over them. Movement Proposals are tying movement to votes, which are very different and introduce timing problems (that it’s better to vote very late so that you have a better, but not perfect, idea of what you’re actually voting on; it’s better to be an admin so that you can change your move at the last minute; etc).

If a quorum are fine with it, though, I guess that’s that, I won’t push it further.

Straight up proposals to move are fine, except that they can be easier to block by a quorum of other players, and could clog up the queue, and is slower. Coordination could improve all these elements. I guess the idea is that we’d be offloading the realtime negotiations to chat, and in endgame, to cabal chats? Seems reasonable to me.

yes! i think the current system is way too freely usable, to the point of nullifying any need for direct floor-editing proposals

(the reason i proposed my system, which was way more restricted & repealed this rule as well, was to encourage people to vote yes on proposals which would move others in order to get minor movements in return, while still maintaining that direct proposal-posting would be the best form of travel)

@Brendan: I would have picked a different floor had I seen in time that I was going to be joined by someone.
