Bit of a pain for vote-counting admins, though.

I like the counter theme to mine… but I am unsure about the wording of the last two sentences.

Good idea, but probably needs “dynastic proposal” to avoid issues with people using this to mess with the core. (A core proposal disguised as a dynastic proposal is likely to be voted down.)

because it makes us keep track of whether a Player is Blockaded when they cast each vote.

CoV yes, looks like a hassle on hindsight. I would definetely vote FOR if it were reworded a little better and made more admin friendly.

Actually, just realised how hard this would be to track.

What about just allowing a sufficiently large weight of players to idle another? Comes to much the same thing without much admin load at all.

Or someting more drastic? Like allow players occupying another player actually edition that player’s coments and changing their votes to DEF? That would be funny.

@ais I dislike that because it requires an admin to follow through, and it’s nice to have a mechanic that players can always perform themselves.

I don’t agree that tracking Blockades is such hard work - it just means you need to look at the GNDT before resolving a proposal, as Blockading would only be effective while the Blockade itself was up (i.e. the effect doesn’t persist). At present it would need 5 occupying players to blockade - a quick scan down the applet would be enough to keep track.

Neat idea, but I’d rather leave the decision to the admins who have to deal with it.

@arth: non-admins can’t edit comments.

I like it. As long as we could make a ‘Blockaded list’ or something in the GNDT, it should be okay to track (Re Josh)

  once blockaded a player could just farm SP by placing an infinite number of against votes that get changed.

Amnistar- thus the phrase “effective vote”

Josh, I am blockaided. I vote against, it is change to def. I increase SP by 1. Repeat ad infinity.

Aminstar is correct

per Amnistar

Couldn’t this lock the gamestate?

if we somehow drop below 10 players, if each person blockades someone else no one can vote.

CoV per Amnistar

[Amnistar] If you are Blockaded, “any vote that [you] cast on a proposal is considered to be DEF for the purposes of proposal resolution”. Your vote will be “changed as a result of being Blockaded” once, and then it won’t change again. Voting AGAINST doesn’t flicker your vote from AGAINST back to DEF, it just remains DEF.
