Add a new rule “Deferential” with the following text
If a proposal is between 24 and 47 hours and 59 minutes old, inclusive, and if the Statolith does not have a valid vote on the proposal, then votes of deferential instead are valid and counted as the majority of valid non-deferential votes on said proposal.
Maybe the arrow icon would be better, since this changes things quite a bit.
This would create some odd situations - a proposal introducing hard work for the Emperor might get a quorum of polite DEFs, and then enact anyway at 24:01 (because it has the proposer’s vote in favour and none against). And a genuinely divisive proposal could be resolved with a small majority in 24 hours, without giving more time for discussion - there’s certainly some history of Emperors holding back on a DEF-stacked deciding vote to hear more arguments first.
Making a vote of “DEF” mean “deferring to the Emperor or to a majority depending on when the Emperor votes” feels like an unnecessarily complex decision for voters (and to some extent the Emperor).
I agree with Kevan there. Generally (not always, but generally), any rule that targets Core Rule content is dangerous af.
[derrick] I don’t remember if we’ve ever actually had an Emperor here at BlogNomic, but it’s the generic dynasty-agnostic name for the role, presumably taken from Imperial Nomic.
Been sick the last couple of weeks. Apologies for any resulting delays.
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. Have a look around the wiki for more information and history. New players are always welcome and can join in the game at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.
derrick: he/him
Is this dynastic or basic rule set?
