Proposal: O Captain! My Captain!

Times out and fails 2-4 -Larrytheturtle

Adminned at 26 Oct 2013 22:57:35 UTC

Amend to the rule “Ain’t No Party” the following text:

MUST: The member of an Orientation with the most endorsements is consider that Orientation’s Representative. If there is a tie for the most endorsements in an Orientation, then there is no Representative for that Orientation.

If a Representative has cast a valid voting icon on a proposal then any MN that has the same Orientation as that Representative is considered to have cast the same voting icon as the Representative if they have not cast a valid voting icon themselves.

I’m not sure about the wording of this. I couldn’t seem to find a better way of stating it.

*Considered.  I’m for this, but the only thing I’m worried about is the possibility of the Majority consisting of Quorum or more and the Representative pushing through a proposal instantly.  Perhaps if this extra voting only applies after 48 hours have passed?

against due to the admin burden of checking the Orientation of every player who hasn’t voted.

@Spitemaster I could see the danger here but it will still have to have been pending for 12 hours and I think enough people check in often enough that it wouldn’t be to dangerous. I would be fine with adding some kind of time needing to have elapsed though.

@Bucky I can sorta see what you are saying but I feel like checking if the Rep. has voted and then checking who hasn’t in their party doesn’t actually take that long.

Just asking, since I currently have the most endorsements total, is No Orientation an Orientation for the purpose of this rule?

Prolly not :-/

But seriously…if a member of an Orientation is endorsed by enough members of another, or no, Orientation, does he still become the Rep for the Orientation he is a member of even though few or none of his fellow Orienteers endorse him?

against Per Bucky. Individual iterations of the check may not take long but admining proposals is already essentially a bit of a chore.

If you did it so that DEF went to the leader rather than the speaker in the first instance, if go for that.

against Turtlemoon, the answer to your second question is yes.
