Great idea.

I was going to agree to it too and point out that I won't vote for anyone
who is not a member (and will impeach anyone who ceases to be), but then I
have some amendments to suggest, and I figure it would be faster to just
debate them now, insert them if need be into a new contract, and start from
there.

a) Is there any other non-spoon forum that could be used reliably that
doesn't involve IRC? The only reason I'm suggesting it is because while IRC
is read accessible, it is a pain to sift through, and you can't package a
nice RP together (eg) like you could in an email, or see messages without
sifting through tonnes of irrelevant garbage.

b) Perhaps anyone who currently holds the MoM should be either prevented
from leaving the contract, or forced to announce eir intention to do so with
a long enough delay that they can be impeached before leaving? (Of course
that has to be balanced against the potential for a dislike MoM who hasn't
done anything wrong to be forced into forfeiting... They need a legitimate
escape clause).

c) The part about five players "indicating that it is their opinion". Can
they revise their opinion, or do I accidentally become obliged to forfeit if
3 players indicated their opinion when I was MoM 3 months ago, and 3
different ones do so now?
