Proposal: Quorum housekeeping

Passes 16 :for: and 0 :against:—Wakukee

Adminned at 22 May 2009 14:10:32 UTC

In Rule 3.3 “Keywords”, rewrite the text that presently reads:

Quorum is equal to half the number of Contestants, rounded down, plus one.

so that it reads:

Quorum is equal to half the number of Contestants, rounded down, plus one.  If a Rule or other Gamestate document refers to a Quorum of some subset of Contestants (such as a Quorum of Contestants who share a particular Gamestate attribute, but excluding all other Contestants) then Quorum is equal to half the number of Contestants who share that Gamestate attribute, rounded down, plus one.

There’s a reference in Rule 2.1.1 to a “Quorum of Insiders”, which is a concept that is not presently defined in the ruleset.

against  Quorum of contestants = “A number of Insiders equal to half the number of Contestants, rounded down, plus 1.”

I’m pretty sure Bucky’s is the only interpretation that makes set under the current Ruleset. However, I think the Ruleset should be ammended to Spikebrennen’s definition.
