In Rule 2.1 entitled “Next Emperor Showdown ” replace “Each Voter has a Ballot, tracked in the GNDT; it defaults to blank (meaning no vote), and other legal values are “Spoilâ€, “Metaâ€, and the name of each Voter (other than the Returning Officer).” with:
Each Voter has a Ballot, tracked in the GNDT; it defaults to blank (meaning no vote), and other legal values are “Spoilâ€, “Metaâ€, the name of each Voter (other than the Returning Officer) and the name of a Voter known as the Delegate (including the Returning Officer) enclosed by parenthesis. In the last case the vote counts as the vote of the Delegate. This is resolved recursively (eg. A votes (B) and B votes (C), A and B vote the same as C). If this cannot be resolved because of circular references, all unresolved votes become invalid which means the same as if they were blank.
I am a fan of Liqud Democracy, so I need to propose something like this. I would even like general Liquid Democracy mechanisms (they would be really good for a holiday replacement), but that‘s not the topic here. :)
I assume this will not used that much, but that is no reason against this mechanism. ;). It might be helpful, if you can’t decide or if you are not sure whether you have enough nomic knowledge to consider all aspects to know which idea is the best one. You could easily trust an “older” Player who has more experience then.
