BlogNomic: The Ninth Dynasty of ais523

I would if I could, but I must settle for . Never pass a rule that effects voting. Because not all voting relates to the dynasty, some have other meanings.     

I think this might be an interesting mechanic, but it might be more suited to voting someone off.

, yeah, this might be better for a more specific game mechanic.

I’m not really comfortable with this, but if there is a really good argument in favor, I am willing to be persuaded.

I have been thinking of using something like this myself on previous dynasties, but had never been sure how to do it. So far, 

However, I still see one problem: Perhaps it should not influence all voting, maybe it shouldn’t work when the proposal attempts to change core rules, or maybe it only works if the Manipulated actually votes (allowing to not have their vote controlled for specific proposals).

For now, I’ll stick with my vote of FOR, but if someone re-proposes this with fixes I’ll support that proposal instead.

I like the idea but the others have pointed out some good problems with it.

I don’t see a big problem with it (if someone messes up the core ruleset, we can fix it next dynasty), but it’d be fiddly for admins to count the votes.

I’m up for an adminning challenge, and I think it’s clear enough why.

@Wakukee - I know it’s playing with fire, but I did deliberately leave out CfJ voting.

I don’t mind the concept of overriding votes, but there is a (possibly unintentional) scam hidden here, I think. And something like this needs to be completely unbuggy before being used.

Antiquorumed.

For those of us who are a bit dense, where is the scam?  I assume it has something to do with manipulating the votes on a DoV, but wouldn’t you still need at least half of the Contestants’ help to push something like that through?  If you had that much support you could just pass an “I win” proposal and be done with it, right?

I’m trying to figure out what happens if multiple people manipulate the same person. I know there’s a takes precedence for votes, but I’m wondering if /both/ votes end up legal (the rule states the resulting vote is legal, after all). In that case, a group of people could manipulate each other in order to get double votes on a proposal; maybe not disastrous as they could have manipulated other people instead, but weird.
