Proposal: Real heroes don’t need Quorum

Due to a lack of support on the side of the individual that created this proposal, it has been deemed neccessary for more attention before it can be passed.

That is all.

In times of need, great nations need great heroes. Our nation is in time of need. Our nation is in need of heroes. ACTION HEROES. Heroes are always right. Heroes are not stopped by little meaningless things like, common sense, property damage or tin cans. And there is no greater hero than Loyal Soldiers. Thus:

Create a new rule called “Heroic Proposals”:

A Soldier may create an Heroic Proposal instead of a regular Proposal by including the the text “[Heroic]” at the beginning of a Proposal’s subject. This might be done only if there are no other Heroic Proposals pending enactment. When votes on a proposal are counted, the Loyalty of each voter can make a single vote count as several valid votes (this is not recursive). For each 10 points of Loyalty a Soldier has, their vote counts as one additional vote of the same type. A single vote may never be counted as more than five votes. Soldiers may use multiple voting symbols to make the enactment of such Proposals easier, but this is not required.

If an Heroic Proposal is vetoed, the Proposer loses 5 Health (due to being caught in the explosion of the General’s veto grenade)

If you vote against this, you are doing nothing but helping the enemy. Act like a real hero and vote for!

against Fine in rough principle, but confusing to keep track of; it’d be clearer to make the multiple voting icons compulsory, and to have them stay fixed, rather than changing to whatever Loyalty you have at the time of enactment.

And you might also want to link quorum to the total Loyalty of all players, to avoid any easy scams later on.

against arrow When Agora introduced similar rules, they ended up having to introduce several restrictions to help scam-proof it and to make it less confusing: multiple votes (voting icons over here) were required, the voting power is based on values at the start of the voting period, and quorum is based on the number of people who voted, not on the vote count. Something like this needs a lot more safeguards, but I like the idea.

against  arrow Proposals that don’t have the support of quorum shouldn’t be able to change or add anything but Dynastic Rules or the GNDT, and shouldn’t have within any rules made the potential to change the Basic Rules, methinks.

against Should be the absolute value of loyalty as well, or have a ‘scoundral’ varient that works with negative loyalty.
