BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

we should not change core rules to work around dynastic rules. Either change the dynastic rules or use new dynastic rules to overrule the core rules.

I’m having difficulty finding a wording for that that works; something like “each instance of the number ‘48’ in the core rule ‘Votes’ must be treated as though it said ‘60’ instead” is the closest simple approach I can find, but I’m not convinced that that actually changes the timeout (as opposed to forcing everyone to pretend that the timeout was changed).

It’s much clearer to have the core rule say what it means, rather than having a different rule entirely say what it means and leaving the 48 in place.

Can we not just make a dynastic rule that says “a votable matter without quorum is not popular/unpopular unless open for at least 60 hours”?

or just keep the 48 hours thing because they are solving different problems.

its entirely possible that a proposal passes within 48 hours. or 24 hours. or 12 hours. no one is actually saying you only need to check in once every 60 hours to stay on top of everything.

its just that 36 hours to get moves in was a bit fast for some people. and 48 would result in time zone issues. so we bumped that to 60. But not sure why that means we need to change anything about proposals.

Changes “for this dynasty” should not go in Core.
