Proposal: This is not marked as an Evil Proposal.

Self-killed.

If Proposal “Seriously, guys. Victory. Let’s go get it.” fails, this does nothing.

Create a new Rule named, “Secret Masters”:

Whenever one or more Henchman vote FOR on a Proposal, if their combined Standing is equal to or greater than the Overlord’s Standing, the Overlord may not VETO that proposal.

So uh, what if the proposal is vetoed THEN ‘for’ votes exceed?  Or if a change in Standing values occur AFTER the votes are cast?

My interpretation is that even if the Overlord vetoes it, the standing is evaluated at the time of enactment. If the standing of the overlord is overruled, then the veto is invalid and ennactment proceeds according to the FOR and AGAINST votes.

against i think that interpretation would have to be explicit. otherwise, it’s a righteously underhanded and devious idea, certainly worthy of at least an implied [evil].

There is still time to ammend it with the explicit interpretation if you wish, since right now no one has the standing to exploit it any ways.

1.5 says “The oldest pending Proposal may be failed by any Admin”—“may”. The Overlord could veto, but the Proposal is still Pending and could be voted on until an Admin failed it.

I really really like the idea! Just needs a little re-working as above.

against s/k seeing the quoted reasons. My proposal slots are all used up, if someone reproposes this with a fix I will go with that.
