PC Gone Mad

Josh and I manipulated our votes such that both Stalking Horse and Right Field could be enacted. They both had enough votes against to be resolved as per rule 1.4.2, but after Political Capital was factored in both had a quorum of votes in support.

nqeron has achieved victory and may now post a Declaration of Victory.

Update: never mind.

Only one EVC FOR on Right Field. “No proposal may pass if only one player has an EVC FOR, regardless of the amount of political capital appended to EVCs on that proposal.” That didn’t pass, it failed. Josh changed his vote, only you voted for. And it only had 5 FOR, so it failed. I’ll fix it for you.

Whoops, you’re right. It can’t be enacted with only one FOR vote. However, the 5 Political Capital was added to my vote, so there are 6 FORs in total, so technically, it should still be pending, right? It can’t be enacted, but it can’t be failed either (because it “could be Enacted without either one of the Votes AGAINST it being changed, or the set of Honourable Members being changed, or by awaiting the passage of time”, if someone else adds a FOR vote.

I’ll undo the adminning for now.

What about “When a proposal is resolved, its eligibility for resolution (i.e. whether or not the number of votes cast equal or exceed quorum) is calculated ignoring Political Capital.”

So, for the standpoint of resolution, there is only 1 FOR vote.

“However, any Political Capital attached to an EVC is added to the counts FOR and AGAINST for the purposes of determining whether or not the proposal has passed or failed.”

Taking Political Capital into account, the proposal fits none of the criteria set out in rule 1.4.2, so it can neither pass nor fail. At this point, one more against would do it, though.

(that is, it did have a quorum of FOR votes, but a dynastic rule prevented its enactment, as you pointed out)

Oh, sorry, as RaichuKFM pointed out I mean.

I’ve self-killed and failed the proposal.

Just for reference- When I adminned it, I forgot about Purplebeard’s implicit vote. But since it had 5 votes against and couldn’t be enacted, couldn’t it be failed? Oh well, it worked out anyway.
