In the rule Ranked Choice, change the text:

If the Winning Plan is empty, and a quorum of Drafters have a Ballot that has a value, and no Drafter has changed their Ballot in the past 48 hours, and the Supervisor has not performed an Instant Runoff within the past 48 hours, the Supervisor should perform an Instant Runoff, which is an atomic action with the following numbered steps:

To read:

If the Winning Plan is empty, the Supervisor has not performed an Instant Runoff within the past 48 hours, and either of the following are true, the Supervisor should perform an Instant Runoff:
* It is on or after 30 May 2025
* A quorum of Drafters have a Ballot that has a value, and no Drafter has changed their Ballot in the past 48 hours,

An Instant Runoff is an atomic action with the following numbered steps:

Just checking something – I think existing Ballots are still valid even if a new player joins (the requirement to list all Plans is a requirement to change a Ballot, not a requirement for a Ballot to be valid). If it did invalidate existing Ballots, though, this proposal would be scammable; so if you think my rules interpretation here is wrong, it is probably best to speak up before this proposal passes.

I do not think that it invalidates any ballots, although I do think people should update their ballots as a matter of course.

Agreed that the current rule text for Ballots does not invalidate them when a new Plan is added (new Drafter or existing Drafter that didn’t previously have a Plan), or removed for that matter.

Would also agree that ballots weren’t invalidated, but I don’t think we should remove the equilibrium of current 48 hour rule.

If one or two players swap out their Ballot for tactical reasons at 11:59pm on the 29th, or persuade enough idle players to join and change the Runoff’s outcome, it’ll be down to pot luck and timezones whether enough other players have time to react to that before the Supervisor processes the Runoff.

against Withdrawn per Kevan - it feels like we’re in the wrap-up phase anyway.
