Passes 7-0—Clucky

If the proposal “As Far as I Can Throw You” passes, replace all instances of “Mistrust” with “Trust” in the rest of this proposal
Replace the text of the rule “The Masquerade” with the following
If they haven’t done so in the preceding 96 hours, the Doge should stage a Masquerade by performing the following atomic action:
* Ensure all gamestate information related to the rule “Campaign” has been properly updated
* Determine a new Winnower by randomly choosing an Elector who is not currently the Winnower who will become the Winnower
* Posting a Story Post blog entry which contains a Guest List, and a list of the names of any Electors who have accrued (or lost) Mistrust since the last Masquerade (including the net change in value for each of those Electors). It must also include the name of a randomly chosen Elector who will become the Winnower for that Masquerade, and the two Electors chosen to gain or lose Power by the previous Winnower.
* Enact changes to Mistrust in the gamestate.
The Guest List is a list of Electors, which contains only the following identifying information about them:* Their Secret Faction (if they have one)
* Their Political PowerThe period of time between two Masquerades is known as a Season. An action that can only be undertaken once per player per Season is called a Seasonal Action. The first 48 hours of a Season are known as its Preamble.
If the proposal “Rechurchment” passes make the following changes
In the rule “Confession” replace “At any time, the Winnower may Disclose some of this information by making a Disclosure Post” with “At any time during a Season’s Preamble, the Winnower may Disclose some of this information by making a Disclosure Post”
In the rule “Confession” replace “then after the 48 hour response window has concluded, he must at his earliest opportunity” with “then during the resolve disclosures part of the Masquerade, he must”
In the rule “Confession” replace “So long as 24 hours have not elapsed since the posting of a Disclosure Post” with “Once per Elector per disclosure Post, so long as it is the same Season which the Disclosure Post was made in”
Add “Resolve all Disclosures Posts which made since the last Masquerade” to the second step of the atomic action to stage a Masquerade
Intent of this proposal is to button up the order of which stuff occurs in during the masquerade, and then prevent timing issues with Rechurchment where people feel the need to be online right when a disclosure posts ends so they can reset their secret faction before the new season begins.
This does require making seasons a big longer, but gives a balance between the preamble (where you can do everything) and the second half (where you have time to respond) ensuring ample time for each group.
