Malfunctions if thre’s one and a bunch of s. 
!

Nice to see someone else propose something, though.

The malfunction isn’t serious - the admin can add or change their vote, or the Arbiter can veto, if a proposal becomes deadlocked. I’d rather see this loophole fixed quickly.

Bucky or Kevan - could you explain the malfunction?

Aren’t Imperial votes valid votes?

Actually, I can’t see the malfunction I assumed Bucky was referring to - such proposals could still be failed if they’d been “open for voting for at least 48 hours and half or fewer of its votes are FOR”.

Bucky? Hix?

Hix - I’m particularly keen to know why you’ve voted against because your vote currently carries a weight of 3.

Either IMPERIALs do count as valid votes in which case it fails, or they do not in which case it STILL fails.  We seem to assume the latter at the moment.

It seems that imperials are only valid when the arbiter has voted. Otherwise an is counted as a vote of abstinence.

I think what Bucky means is… One vote and one vote would make the proposal fail, whether it’s counted or not.

If IMPERIALs count as valid votes then it can be failed for being “open for voting for at least 48 hours and half or fewer of its votes are FOR”.

But even if there’s some nuance that I’ve missed here, this is a very obscure malfunction, and one that can be unblocked with a veto if it ever comes up. Better to plug the loophole and tidy things up afterwards, than to leave it unplugged while we sort out a cleaner wording.
