[Spoon-business] Voting Tokens

["Craig" <ragnarok@xxxxxxxxx>]

I propose the following on a mailing list that actually exists:

{{
Create a rule, entitled __Voting Tokens__ with the following text:
 {{
There exist a finite number of Voting Tokens. Each Voting Token has
associated with it a Value. If a player is in posession of a Voting Token,
any other player may give em a number of Tildex greater than the Value of
that Voting Token and immediately acquire it. The amount of Tildex spent
becomes the new Value of the Voting Token. Each Voting Token also has a
unique Serial Number.

Whenever a new player joins the game of B Nomic, e gains a Voting Token with
a Value of 0 and a Serial Number higher than the then-highest Voting Token
Serial Number by 1.
 }}
Create one voting token with a value of zero in the posession of each
player, each with a Value of 2 and a Serial Number equal to one more than
the number of players whose names come alphabetically before the player
receiving the Voting Token. [[So the first player in the alphabet gets
Voting Token 1, the second gets Voting Token 2, et cetera]]. For the
purposes of this action, all numbers come before the letter A.
Modify rule 256 [[Gremlins]] by adding the following text to the end of it:
 {{
B.5. The Voting Gremlin, a.k.a. Diebold
There exists a Gremlin known as the Voting Gremlin. If at any time the
Voting Gremlin has been in Hiding for at least two ndays, it becomes Active.

Every time players vote on a Ballot, the Voting Token whose Serial Number is
equal to the Nth Gremlin Number, where N is equal to the number of Voting
Tokens in existence, is chosen. This Voting Token is the Irregular Voting
Token until voting closes on that ballot.
 }}
Create a rule, entitled __Vote Nullification__ with the following text:
 {{
For each ballot item on which the posessor of the Irregular Voting Token
votes Yes or No, the number of votes of the polar opposite of eir vote is
considered as one less than the true value. [[So if the posessor of the IVT
votes YES and there were three NO votes, it is counted as only two NO votes.
Yes, this may mean that the number of votes in one direction is below
zero.]]
}}
