Behold, the hammer of rule alterations!
Proposal 48 - The First Great Rule Cleanup: Alter rule 5 to remove the sentence "If a player does not post in the thread for over a week, they shall be considered to have forfeited the game." Alter rule 12 by adding the following sentence. "Turns start at 12:00 PP Eastern standard time, and end at 11:59 AM Eastern standard time. Alter rule 13 to the following. "The game ends when one player has at least $100,000. In that event, the player with the most money is declared the winner. Alter the final sentence of rule 14 to the following "A majority vote on a proposal is defined as more than half the votes cast on that proposal." Alter rule 23 by adding the following sentence. "A clear majority vote means that more than half the Holy Imperial Elector Votes cast must be on a single player." Alter rule 29 to read as follows "If a player's proposal does not pass, then they lose 1 Holy Imperial Elector vote, unless that would reduce that player's amount of Holy Imperial Electors Votes below 0." Alter rule 33 to read as follows "Any player already opposing three or more proposals—and wishing to oppose another—must compose a poem insulting at least one of the following:
1. The contents of the proposal
2. The character of the proposer and/or the proposal's supporters
3. A poem previously composed by the proposer"
Alter rule 37 to read as follows "Each plot of land someone has gives them an extra .1 vote. Players with 10+ plots now gain the achievement Extra vote."
I want to alter rule 12 because honestly 10am is pushing it for me being able to update 100% of the time. 12 noon would just make things easier, and I feel like making each turn take half of each day would encourage more discussion overall with more people being able to check in more often. Of course not everyone is in Eastern standard time like me, but eh. Something something sacrifices. Altering rule 13 is because honestly I'd rather have an absurd goal than no goal. I alter rule 14 because the previous form can be interpreted as half the votes on every proposal in the game (if players have made 20 votes on all collective proposals, yours needs 11 to pass.) This is obviously absurd, but also a valid interpretation I feel the need to squash. Also, as much as I'd love to kill the haiku rules, that's far too ambitious. The alteration of rule 23 should be obvious. Rule 29 is kind of a mess, but I'm altering it instead of removing it because of... reasons? Rule 33 is just because I kind of feel bad for Elephant parade, but its no less valid. It is ambiguous as worded after all. I was tempted to try and give the Judge tie breaker priveleges, but relented. Maybe another time. Rule 37 now gives players an extra vote instead of and extra vote. Also the removal of some redundant words. Each plot gives an extra .1 vote per plot anyone? That would mean if you have 10 plots, each plot would give 1 extra vote. 11 makes 1.1 per plot, etc. Not a good thing, but a legal interpretation none the less.
