PARLIAMENT: The Game
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:31:00 pm »

Basically, you vote to make this game have a purpose, by adding rules. For instance, a rule that you must act like a cat would cause all players to have to act like a cat in their posts. So, this could end up as all sorts of crazy.

The only restrictions that can't be overwritten are the constitution, which is as follows.

Constitution [aka: un-changeable rules]

0. Definition of a person: A person is anyone posting in the thread this constitution is contained in, that has not been defined to be no longer a person. A person cannot be defined to be no longer a person, without the thread maker's interference.

1. Amendments:
An amendment can be requested by posting "New amendment: [amendment number]. [Amendment name]: [amendment text]". Voting will begin on it if no other amendment overrides it being an accepted request. An amendment will not be accepted unless a consensus is formed of 5 people voting for it. An amendment can be turned down by five people voting against it.

2. Voting:
An amendment can be voted for or against by posting "Vote [for / against]: [amendment name]." If this is allowed by any other amendments, it is counted as a vote. You may only vote on an amendment once, and you may not vote on your own amendment.

3. Vetoes:
An amendment can be instantly turned down by a veto. If the person has authority for a veto, they may use their veto like so: "Veto: [amendment name]". Unless overridden by an amendment, no one has veto authority.

4. Repeal:
An amendment can have a repeal vote started by posting "Repeal vote: [amendment name]". If this is acceptable after amendments are considered, a repeal vote shall be started. Repeal votes work the same as amendment votes, except prefaced with "Repeal". (Thus making a repeal vote, "Repeal vote [for / against]: [amendment name]".)

Amendments:

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

You need to make an amendment to figure out how to alter an amendment. :p [/isn't going to change constitution because it's unchangeable]

New amendment: [00010]. [Official Game Start]: An amendment allowing this forum game to officially commence. To start things off right proper.

(Because I refuse to regard any votes as official until I see an amendment stating that votes are now in fact official)

I'm not sure how to handle that. It won't be added until the other one is accepted / declined, because if they both happen to be accepted, there would be a huge mess.

Ok, just add it once the other gets denied.

If you refuse that, then no one can vote to official game start. >:)
