Amendment to Rule 203 #5

Closed ArchmageInc closed 8 years ago

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

This is designed to help speed changes along and insure the previously agreed blue line is adhered to.

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

Just as it says. Only the votes present are counted, though rule 105 states:

**105.** Every player is an eligible voter. Every eligible voter must participate in every vote on rule-changes.

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

I plan to change rule 105 though.

So, since that rule takes precedence, I would guess that means right now proposals don't close after 24 hours but instead once everyone has voted.

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

That is how I read it.

jimmyhmiller commented 8 years ago

Alright, I could nitpick more, but I actually do have some substantive things I'm not sure about with the rule.

I don't like the idea of the proposer not voting. Maybe I propose a rule and someone convinces me it is a bad idea. Shouldn't I then be able to vote against it?

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

You would be able to modify the rule in such a way that you would like it, no?

jimmyhmiller commented 8 years ago

What if they comment after the vote has been opened? No way to change it then. At least that's what I see as implied by this sentence in #111.

The proponent decides the final form in which the proposal is to be voted on and, unless the Judge has been asked to do so, also decides the time to end debate and vote.

If you decide that it is to be voted on, it is the final form.

ArchmageInc commented 8 years ago

Oh for fuck's sake. Then the idea that votes are void if a change is made would make no sense!
