Title

Resolutions

Rule

  1. An Official Document is "short-lived" if that document is known to have finite lifetime. An Official Document that is not "short-lived" is "long-lived".
  2. A Resolution is a short-lived Official Document describing a modification to any long-lived Official Document except the ruleset. Furthermore, no Resolution may contain wording that would cause any player to lose points or TUCs as a direct result of passage of that Resolution.
  3. To Suggest a Resolution, the Player must distribute a message to all Players stating "I suggest the following Resolution", a description of the Official Document to be modified, and the modification being suggested.
  4. A Suggested Resolution gets voted on immediately after it is distributed. The Player Suggesting the Resolution will be the votekeeper. The Player Suggesting the Resolution may not vote. The valid votes are "FOR" and "AGAINST".
  5. If "FOR" wins the vote, the Resolution is passed, and the modification described in the Resolution will take effect as soon as the vote has been completed.
  6. Resolutions cease to exist at the end of their voting period.
  7. The Resolution Record is an Official Document; in it will be recorded the text of every Resolution that passed, when it passed, and who suggested the Resolution.

Comments

Motivation: Should be obvious. It shouldn't be this easy to gang up on somebody. Of course, I commend Malcolm for noticing the opportunity and taking advantage of it.

Just remember, THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
