Call for Judgment: Really?

Quorums 8-2 (DEFs have no effect on CfJs). — Quirck

In the Rule “Fight the Power” remove the phrase “and is immediately rendered idle”.

It achieves nothing, is an annoyance, and is just an abuse of power in waiting. Posting this as a CfJ because otherwise it’d be vetoed. I think this deserves urgent attention, so posting a CfJ is warranted.

against It achieves nothing and would be an abuse of power?

It hasn’t yet been abused, and the current Despot has no reason that I can see to abuse it. It’s not a great rule, but I don’t see that it requires urgent attention.

against Loyal citizens will never have anything to feel from me or my secret police. They are simply there to ensure that we are not undermined by the spies or our enemies.

for I agree; It achieves nothing useful - idling can easily be reversed, and it lets the Despot push through any proposal - but there are better ways to achieve that.

for On the basis that I don’t like how raiding someone is usless after they hit 100 power and even if they have 500 power it will only cost 50 to remove it all.

What does it achieve other than abusing his power to push through Proposals? All it is is a way to manipulate votes and quorum to his will- The Despot is not an impartial character in this Dynasty, and we shouldn’t be giving him such power. I was wrong when I said it achieves nothing, I see now why Josh wanted to keep it.

oh, I just realized it doesn’t acually do what I want. This only gets rid of the idle part not all of exiling. I still support this but would prefer the whole this be gone.
