Enact a new subrule of “Realtor Rumble” entitled “Quorum Tiebreaker” as follows:
While each team has at least two members, the author of a Votable Matter cannot be considered to have voted FOR on that Votable Matter unless it has at least one effective vote of FOR by a Realtor who does not share the author’s team.
Going back and forth about whether this should be effectively a filibuster or an optional united-team veto; leaning toward the latter for now. I associate this conjecture with Kevan, but it’s come up more than once in discussion that it would be quite straightforward for a cabal the same size as quorum to just vote through a win by fiat. Since we have no Eli Curf to veto things, I’d like to head that off if possible.
TyGuy6:
Two things:
A) EVC means the comment your vote is in, so that might not translate to a Vote of FOR.
B) Unpopular means instantly fail-able for both Proposals and CfJs. Maybe say it is not Popular, and is Unpopular if the Votable Matter is older than some number (12-24) of hours?
We should be careful with this, it’s potentially game-breaking.
