Proposal: The Secret Ballot

Reaches majority 1-8 against and fails.

Adminned at 11 Feb 2013 15:03:40 UTC

Enact a new rule entitled “A New Speaker” reading as follows:

Once this Rule is enacted, a new Speaker shall be selected. On or before DATE, an Honourable Member (other than the Speaker) may send the Speaker, in a private message, the name of a Party or an Honourable Member, the Endorsee, and an amount of Credibility, the Strength. Such a message is termed an Endorsement.

Each Party has a Support value, which is untracked and defaults to 0.

As soon as possible after DATE, the Speaker shall post a listing of all Endorsements. Each Honourable Member shall lose Credibility equal to the sum of the Strength of the Endorsements they submitted. Then, for each Endorsement submitted by an Honourable Member who is not Corrupt, the Endorsee shall gain Support (if a Party) or Credibility (if an Honourable Member) equal to the Support of the Endorsement.

Then, among all Honourable Members who are members of the Party or Parties with the most Support, the Honourable Member with the greatest Credibility achieves victory. In the event of a tie, the tied Honourable Member Endorsed by the most other Honourable Members shall be victorious; in the event of a further tie, the tied Honourable Member who had the most Credibility before this process begins will be victorious; in the event of a further tie, the Speaker shall select one of the tied Honourable Members to achieve victory.

Multiple Endorsements may be submitted in the same private message.

replacing DATE by the day one week after this Proposal is enacted.

Enact a rule entitled “Incentivization” reading as follows:

When a Proposal is resolved, its author gains 1 Credibility.

Why end the Dynasty so early?

against I’ll just endorse myself for a million using the name of a party, and then for 50 just to get myself back up to full credibility because I can.  There’s no limit on how much one can endorse another player for.  Not only that, it seems a rather boring way to end the Dynasty.

against Also not sure of this, but additionally, “Once this Rule is enacted, a new Speaker shall be selected” isn’t strictly linked to the rest of the proposal - the enacting admin could plausibly select a player at random (or not at random) claiming justification under this clause.

Spitemaster: ” for each Endorsement submitted by an Honourable Member who is not Corrupt” If you run out of Crdebility, you can’t do anything.

Josh: Oops. Holdover from an early draft. Would you vote for a fixed version?
