Re: [s-b] [s-d] Yet More Proposals

[Charles Walker <charles.w.walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Firstly, your point c) is correct. In response to the other points, I revise
my Proposal "Democratic, Semi-Democratic and Undemocratic Ministries" to
read:
{

This Proposal is Titled "Democratic, Semi-Democratic and
Undemocratic Ministries".

Replace the text of the Rule "Assigning Ministries" with the following:

{

There is an Attribute Democracy Level with a Scope of all Ministries, a
Range of Undemocratic, Semi-Democratic or Democratic, and a Default Value of
Undemocratic.

A Player may, as a Game Action, assign a Vacant, Undemocratic Ministry to
himself.

A Player may, as a Game Action, with 3 support, assign a Vacant,
Semi-Democratic Ministry to himself.

A Player may, as a Game Action, with a Quorum of support, assign a Vacant,
Democratic Ministry to himself.

}

Replace the text of the Rule "Usurping Ministries" with the following:

{

A Player may, as a Game Action and without 2 objections, Usurp a non-Vacant
Undemocratic Ministry.

A Player may, as a Game Action, with 2 support and without 2 objections,
Usurp a non-Vacant Semi-Democratic Ministry.

A Player may, as a Game Action, with a Quorum of support, Usurp a
non-Vacant, Democratic Ministry.

When a Ministry is usurped, the Ministry is no longer assigned to the
previous Minister and is assigned to the Usurper instead.

}

Cause the Ministry of Questions to become Semi-Democratic.
