Proposal: Resolution Resolution

Vetoed. Josh

Adminned at 05 Mar 2021 16:52:06 UTC

Add the following to the end of the rule The Masquerade:

The part of a Season that falls between the end of the Preamble and the end of the season is known as its Resolution.

Move the following paragraph from the rule Winnowing to the rule Factions:

The member of each Secret Faction with the highest Political Power is its Figurehead.

In the rule Winnowing, reword the last paragraph as follows:

When a Disclosure Post has been made, the Doge must evaluate for each Secret Faction named within it (at the time of posting) whether the Disclosure was correct or not, i.e. whether the listed Electors are indeed members of that Secret Faction. If it was, then during the resolve disclosures part of the masquerade, he must resolve the Disclosure by performing the following atomic action:
* Reduce the Political Power of that Secret Faction’s Figurehead by 3,
* Increase the Scandal of each Elector named as a member of that Secret Faction in the Disclosure Post by the cumulative total of the Scandal responses received against that Secret Faction as a response to that Disclosure Post.
* Set the Secret Faction of all affected Electors to “-”.

Clarifying the “resolve disclosures” part of the masquerade into an atomic action, and fixes the double-negative issue with applying the scandal responses to the named faction members.

Resolving the posts during the masquerade was a very deliberate change that this undoes. (or maybe now resolves them twice?). Either way, the “If it was, then during the Resolution of that Season,” needs a cleanup.

Oh I see, I misinterpreted that. Can I still edit the post to correct it?

This was not posted in the Proposal category; I have made it a proposal based on the following from rule 4.2.1, Official Posts:

</blockquote>Secondly, if a post by a New Elector is not in any category but follows the wording of a Proposal, in that it has written changes the gamestate and or Ruleset, and if it has been posted for less than six hours, then any Admin may change it to be in the Proposal category. A New Elector is defined as an Elector who has been an Elector for fewer than seven days or an Elector that has unidled in the past seven days after being idle for at least 3 months.</blockquote>

Zack became an Elector on 26/2, which was 5 days ago, so qualifies as a New Elector under this rule.

@Zack Yes, you can edit within the first 2 hours after posting a proposal, so long as no-one has voted.

Ah, sorry, COV veto GOtta veto this as it’s about time time out - the proposal makes changes to the rule Winnowing that I think it’s intending to make to the rule Confessions, and as the last clause replaces a paragraph it actually breaks Winnowing pretty badly. Please do repropose though!
