Proposal: Mayor of Sparta [Victory]

The number of Amnesiacs who are not voting AGAINST it is less than Quorum. Failed by Josh

Adminned at 26 May 2020 20:30:26 UTC

To the rule “Denouement”, add:-

A Candidate is an Amnesiac who has the Posture of Mayor, and who was an Amnesiac at noon on the 24th of May 2020.

If this rule is at least 24 hours old and nobody has Installed the Mayor, any Amnesiac may Install the Mayor by selecting a Candidate at random. The first Candidate to be selected in such a way achieves victory. (This explicitly overrules the clause about achieving victory in “What Am I?”)

Clucky and I were talking on Slack about a clever endgame rule allowing the comparison of hashed suspect lists, but they’ve suggested just rolling a die (saying “It’s also maybe worth seeing who actually wants to run a dynasty and just pick one of those rather than spending a lengthy process determining a “fair” winner” on Slack) and I’m starting to think they might be right. Should certainly ask that first to see what a quorum think.

Date for candidacy so that we know the scope of what we’re voting on. 24-hour waiting period so that everyone has time to react to this, if it enacts after 12 hours. Redundant Victory tag because people always ask if rules that create victory conditions need Victory tags.

(They don’t need the tag, but it’s still a useful indicator.)

Hrm. We could just add that clause to the tag tbh lol.

against I’ve been working myself on a rule to produce a winner in a fair way that takes the history of the dynasty so far into account.

Admittedly, this gives me the opportunity to perhaps win the dynasty off a die roll when I’ve hardly participated in it beyond a few core rules fixes (which were badly necessary), but it seems wrong to just invalidate everything that happened beforehand.

Cov against I’d nod along if this were a fait accompli but I essentially agree with ais.

Not going to self-kill as this was intended as a straw poll to save us unnecessary effort (I wrote a complex resolution mechanic for RaichuKFM V, only for nobody else to use it), but I’ll slow it down with a DEF as I’m not intending this proposal to suggest that I think it’s the best possible solution.

This thing could have actually passed, if I’d have been vigorous about it.
