Proposal: The Long Year

Reached quorum 9 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Adminned at 23 Feb 2015 11:27:41 UTC

Add a new rule to the ruleset, entitled Pace:

Where contradictory, this rule supersedes any provision set out in rule 1.5.

During this dynasty, Proposals can only be resolved on a Saturday or Sunday, unless one of the following is true, in which case it can be resolved at any time:

  • It has been open for at least 24 hours, every Townsperson has voted upon it, all of the votes are FOR, and it is not contingent on the passage of another pending proposal;
  • It has been open for at least 24 hours, every Townsperson has voted upon it, and all of the votes are Against;
  • It has been vetoed or self-killed.

During this dynasty, a Townsperson may have up to five pending proposals.

This is not a pivotal part of my plan for the dynasty, so very interested in thoughts, but would quite like a slower-paced dynasty with less scope for timing scams. Would also like to incentivise big, sweeping changes to mechanics between seasons.

for , but don’t propose anything important on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning, or it might hit the 7-day failure condition if the queue gets blocked.

imperial Bold stuff. But I assume your contingency clause just covers explicit “if earlier proposal X passed” clauses, rather than the more common (and chaotic) problem of one proposal amending a rule, and a later one simply failing to take that amendment into account when making a further change. It possibly only requires some attentive vetoing on the Astrologer’s part, though.

And hmm, I don’t think the final clause works - it lets us have five pending, but doesn’t do anything about the rule that stops us from posting a third when we have two pending.

Is potentially 65 Proposals to process over two days a lot?

I mean, I understand it’s broken right now

In favor of a slower moving process this time around.
