Call for Judgment: Ratify the False Start

Reached quorum 4 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 04 Aug 2023 16:31:25 UTC

Uphold the Ascension Address at https://blognomic.com/archive/the_dead_city and proceed as though the update to the ruleset at https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=Ruleset&oldid=23998 had been made by Kevan, rather than lendunistus, to complete the atomic action that the Ascension Address began and trigger the start of the dynasty. Legalize the subsequent proposals and votes that were only invalid because they were made during Interregnum and/or made by Kevan in the middle of an unrelated atomic action.

Set all Special Case Rules to their default statuses.

Is “Legalize the subsequent proposals” enough to consider them to have been open for voting for 12 hours, when we get there?

I can’t see why not; their posting times won’t have changed.

They won’t have been “open for voting” for 12 hours, though - for their first six hours they were just blog posts that couldn’t legally be voted on. I’m not sure the fact that we’re considering some comments to have been votes changes that.

(I’m reading the “legalize” step as not being retroactive, here.)

I think if there are votes legally cast on them from that time period then you can’t really argue they weren’t open for voting.

Fair point, the voting process is just an unusual one.

It’s legal to cast votes on existing proposals during interregnum anyway.
