If there is a rule titled “Energy” then enact the following rule titled “Volcano”:
There exists a game object known as “The Volcano”. The Volcano has a state which is initially set to Dormant. Whenever a proposal fails with a unanimous vote and The Volcano’s state is Dormant, The Volcano’s state is set to Active. While the Volcano is Active, ash blocks the sun causing the following effects:
* all energy costs are doubled
* whenever a Lifeform would lose Nourishment, that Lifeform loses that amount of Nourishment plus one instead
* whenever a Lifeform would gain DNA Points, that Lifeform instead gains half that number of DNA points (rounded up)Whenever a proposal passes with a unanimous vote and The Volcano’s state is Active, The Volcano’s state is set to Dormant.
The proposer automatically votes FOR eir own proposal. So either a proposal is serious, in which case it doesn’t activate because the proposer still votes FOR, or it’s silly in which case someone else would vote FOR to stop it.
Clucky: he/him
Because this would get abused. People would post silly proposals just to activate the volcano and then never vote FOR so that the proposal stays active.
