NomicScum, Game 2

[Xalxe]

Everyone then gets 24 hours to vote on which candidate they would like to enter.

This says I have to vote for a candidate.

[animorpherv1]

We can fix that.

Not really actually. It simply reads that if you were to vote for a candidate, you have a 24 hour window in which to do so. At least, that's my interpretation.

[Xalxe]

But there's no provision in the proposal that somebody wouldn't enter the game. It just has tiebreaker rules. You could have a 1-1 tie and somebody would still enter.

[Chevre]

Not to be harsh, but I don't see me wanting anyone to enter EVER. There was plenty of opportunity to enter this game. And to be frank, people quitting just makes one less competitor for me to go up against.

[animorpherv1]

I still know someone who missed it.

[JDGA]

The actual proposal itself right now seems

far

too vague. For a start, it needs to say "any potential candidate

for replacement

" or similar.

[Packbat]

Should a player be removed from the game for any reason, any person with an unbanned Mafiascum.net account may become a candidate to replace the removed player by posting a request to that effect in the thread. After 24 hours have passed, each player shall then be given 24 hours during which they may vote for the admittance of up to one of these candidates. If at the end of the voting one of these candidates has the support of a simple majority of players, that candidate shall become a player.

Thus, no ties, and abstaining counts as voting against the admittance of any candidate. The "simple majority" criterion may, of course, be changed to a supermajority if so desired.

[Xalxe]

I like it, and it's better than what I was going to propose.

[animorpherv1]

I'd like to add a "no candidate" submission in the list of people, if at all possible.

[Packbat]

A change without effect, but:

Should a player be removed from the game for any reason, any person with an unbanned Mafiascum.net account may become a candidate to replace the removed player by posting a request to that effect in the thread. After 24 hours have passed, each player shall then be given 24 hours during which they may vote for the admittance of one of these candidates or against the admittance of any candidate. If at the end of the voting one of these candidates has the support of a simple majority of players, that candidate shall become a player.

[animorpherv1]

Feels better to me.

Thanks.

[Packbat]

No problem.

That works much better.

[Packbat]

Ooh, just saw a problem - fixing:

Should a player be removed from the game for any reason, any person with an unbanned Mafiascum.net account may become a candidate to replace the removed player by posting a request to that effect in the thread within 24 hours of the removal. If, after these 24 hours have passed, one or more such candidate has posted, each current player shall be given 24 hours during which they may vote for the admittance of one of these candidates or against the admittance of any candidate. If at the end of the voting one of these candidates has the support of a simple majority of players, that candidate shall become a player.

[Lord Mhork]

I agree with Chevre. If the point of this game is to win, then this rule can make winning impossible. Do we really need an endless cycle of players rotating in and out?

[T-Bone]

I will vote against any rule that allows for adding more players...

[Chevre]

It doesn't make winning impossible

right now

, because the current win condition is to amass a certain number of points. But if we potentially drown ourselves in point-debt, a new player has an advantage. On the other hand, if a new player joins when we are quite far into the game, they are at a supreme disadvantage.

If animorpherv1 names the one player he wants to allow in, I'd be more than happy to pass some legislation letting just them in, but I just don't want people capitalizing all throughout the game.

[T-Bone]

/agrees with Chevre

[Xalxe]

I don't object to the rule being in place. Odds are very high that I'll vote against anybody joining, but I can see exceptions.

[Packbat]

In all honesty, I'm not enthusiastic for the rule either - if mine was the deciding vote, I'd probably make it pass, though.

[animorpherv1]

@Chevre;

1. Nobody Special

[Chevre]

I'll most definitely approve him entering.

[Packbat]

Deadline to put the proposal to vote: (expired on 2012-05-12 19:59:00).

[Feirei]

It's up to vote.

(Psst, chances are, if you dont like a player wanting to enter, everyone else likely won't either)

Yea
