Proposal: Once more through the Loop

Reached quorum, 4-1.—Kevan

Adminned at 04 Aug 2006 07:37:58 UTC

Add a new subrule “Heisenberg Snare” to the Rule “Modus Ponens”.  Give it the following text:

Requirements: Target Traveller is within this Traveller’s range, and this Traveller has an influence greater than 10.
Action: This traveller reduces eir Influence by 10.  Target Traveller gains a Heisenberg Loop.

Add a new Rule to the Ruleset entitled “Temporal Uncertanty”.  Give it the following text:

Some Travellers may be in one or more Heisenberg Loops, denoted by one asterisk per Loop after eir Influence in the GNDT.

I think there should be something about Shiny in here but don’t know what…

And to continue the thread from the older proposal - the more-than-half trick isn’t the same as two linked proposals, because the second proposal doesn’t require quorum, it only needs approval from half the number of voters who voted on the previous proposal.

It requires a quorum of VOTES (not necesserally FOR votes).

Quite. There’s blurriness where the main proposal has reached a quorum of FOR votes but the sub-aspect is still divided - if the latter was a contentious secondary proposal, it would still have to wait for further discussion and either quorum or a 48-hour timeout.

It’s equivalent to a random proposal having a clause of “as soon as the previous proposal passes, this one must be processed as well, even if it’s below quorum”, which (if it were a legal thing for a proposal to do, which it isn’t) would be enough for me to vote against the previous proposal, to stop it passing, if I really didn’t like what the new one was trying to do.
