Re: [s-d] Posts (like Ministers); draft rule, shoot it down now, please.

To save time: if I've not commented on something someone said, then I
agree and will fix it tommorrow...


>>>>
I'm not sure I like the idea of postees having additional game powers.
Perhaps they should just have the responsibility of recognizing the
actions the ruleset says must happen?
<<<<

I'm not saying that post holders have extra powers - I'm just saying
that some of them +might+ have extra powers.


>>>>
Would it be very common for posts to come with restrictions against
action?  If so, that could well be stated in the rule defining the post,
without needing a section set aside for it.
<<<<

In fact this whole section - (1) through (6) is partly redundant, as
you've all noticed.  The real reason it is here [[mwahahaha!]] is to
make defining posts much simpler.  You can just list the game actions
that occur under these six headings.


>>>>
censure ;)
<<<<

::sigh:: consider me sensewered.


>>>>
I'd like a clause that states that if no player possesses the post it
reverts to the admin. I'm sure someone'll find a loophole involving that
otherwise :)
<<<<

Already there: "If no other player holds a post then the admin is the
post holder."


>>>>
Also, there should be a way to impeach ministers we don't like.
<<<<

Make a proposal that e be forced to resign.  You would anyway.  We
don't need a clause here for that.


>>>>
Why not use Condorcet voting? ;)
<<<<

Because I'd never heard of it before now?  Sold!  Gods bless Wikipedia!


>>>>
Why use single people, btw? Why not allow committees?
<<<<

Eek.  Write a different rule for that - I wouldn't know where to
start, let alone if it was a good idea.


>>>>
I'm not sure suspending rules is a good idea. What if you are on a suspended
rule in rule tag? What if the rule has other, unrelated effects? What if the
rule refers to time in a continuous manner? I think it would be better for
initial elections to establish an order of succession that includes all
players who nominated emselves and ends in the Admin, so that transitions
are smooth no matter what. If it does end up with the Admin, e will just
have to maintain that post for a while until an election comes along, I
guess.
<<<<

Akkk.  Right.  Maybe we leave that out then.  Anyone want to play
devil's advocate here?  Do we need the rule?  What if the admin can't
take over, can't call an election and the post is needed for the game
to run?
