[Proposal 0002]
0002.a - Unconscious dwarves can vote. Not because it makes much sense but because not being dead stops them from reentering in a migration wave.
Bomrek: Come on, Urist. We need to know yer vote. Yer dead, do ya want ter respawn now or go back to the end of the migrant list?
Olin: 'E's dead, Bomrek.
Bomrek: A'course 'e's dead. Tha's why we're voting.
Olin: I think 'e twitched a little.
Bomrek: Ah, in that case, 'e's not dead, so 'e can't vote to respawn. Problem solved. Come'on Olin, let's go get a drink.
Olin: Comin' boss!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
0002.b - Dead dwarves can choose to instantly respawn as a currently unclaimed (not taken by a player) dwarf instead of waiting for the next wave.
Well, that would suck for new people, but only if we keep getting founders offed. I'll agree to this.
0002.c - Players get to choose dwarf from a migration wave in list order. So, if a wave comes first with two cheesemakers and an armorsmith, SoulSpeared can get the armosmith and tyl110 and addictgamer can start looking for milk.
^This. Love this. Vote +1.
0002.d - Entering the army is voluntary. Any dwarf can simply state "I want to become a recruit". (I was thinking of the cheesemaker situation and the will to die for the cause).
Um, no. I submit that all dwarves are required upon receipt of full citizenship (IE, adulthood) to register for the selective service. In the event of an emergency, dwarves nearby threats can be drafted. The dwarf in question may appeal the draft, and the drafting may be overturned by a 3/5ths vote. However, another dwarf must be chosen, by the currently drafted dwarf, to replace him. This choice must be made before the appeal vote begins.
I love tantrum spirals.
Edit: Upon reflection, we do need a strong military. I submit that the above only be used during true emergencies. (Such as when all the military types are "Getting a drink, Boss!") Any dwarf may volunteer for a permanent military position.
