If the Rule “Harmony” exists, add to the end of “Harmony” the words:
If all musicians performing the same style vote the same way on a proposal, X/3 (rounded down) votes the same as those cast by those musicians are cast on that proposal, where X is the number of musicians playing that style.
Any votes cast by this rule are not counted to determine whether a Quorum number of FOR votes is reached.
I presume it “checks” constantly and the ghost votes switch on and off as appropriate. This is bad for admins, though, as it requires more effort to check whether a proposal is ready to be processed yet. I’d be happier if the bonus votes had to be explicitly declared by one of the style’s Musicians (at a point at which it was legal to do so; it wouldn’t hurt too much if the votes stayed legal even if styles switched around afterwards).
Took the words out of my mouth, sir. Sounds like the rule would add the X/3 votes ad infinitum.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
Thelonious:
I see a few problems with this.
- At what point do you check if all musicians performing the same style have voted the same way?
- What about musicians who haven’t voted at all?
- If they’ve all voted the same then somebody changes does that take the votes away? If they change back again does that put them back?
- Ditto for swapping styles.
- How do you mark any such votes (if at all)?
