Proposal: It’s the Final Cook-Off

Create a new Rule “The Final Cook-Off” that reads:

When The Prep for The Final Cook-Off commences, the three Trucks with the highest performance become the Cook-Off Contestant Trucks. If Trucks are tied at the same performance, the one with the highest Dollars is considered to have a higher performance. Then, each other Truck becomes a Cook-Off Jury Truck. At their earliest convenience, the Contestants must submit a Menu with exactly four Dishes to the Yard, none of which need to be their Signature Dish. At least one Dish of each Menu must include the Trending item at the time the Prep for the Final Cook-Off commences. Upon receipt of the three Menus, the Yard then Removes all Fittings and creates a Story Post to present the Menus. This Story Post is the Final Cook-Off.

Each Jury Truck and the Yard may cast up to two valid Votes each at The Final Cook-Off by making a single comment on it with a clear Approval symbol followed by the name of their Favorite Dish and their Favorite Overall Menu (signified by the Truck’s Name). Exactly one vote goes to each category. 24 hours after the Final Cook-Off has been posted, the Yard tallies the votes. The Yard’s votes count twice. The Truck with the most votes is announced and has Achieved Victory. In case of a tie, the Truck among them that has the lowest numbered Pitch has Achieved Victory.

Exactly 48 hours after this Proposal is enacted, the Prep for the Final Cook-Off commences if it hasn’t done so.

If at least half the voters on this Proposal included “It’s the Final Cook-Off” in their voting comment, the Prep for the Final Cook-Off commences immediately.

If a majority of the voters of this Proposal include a common ingredient as part of their voting comment, that common ingredient becomes Trending during The Final Cook-Off.

Contestants do not name the menu, it is expected to match the theme of their Truck, but this is not enforced by the rules.

As the author, you get a automatic FOR vote. However, I believe there’s a problem.
In the Rule Proposals: “if the Admin Enacting it reaches a step which cannot be applied immediately (e.g. “two days after this Votable Matter enacts, Truck A gains 1 point”) or at all (e.g. applying to a rule which does not exist), that step is ignored for the purposes of Enactment;” That means that “Exactly 48 hours after this Proposal is enacted, the Prep for the Final Cook-Off commences” has no effect.

Lawnmonos + Clucky: We can still keep the rule even if the 48 hr. trigger does not work and you guys can figure out another way to start the Prep instead of waiting me to post this again on Monday, your choice.

I’m confused. What did you create the other proposal for? No offence, but I don’t quite see you winning within 72 hours anyway. It seems like you’ve created it to force us to push through this proposal.
I think this proposal allows for too much pooling, anyway.
