Editing Round 6/Initial Ruleset (section)

== 3. Proposing and voting ==
The legislation process is broken up into two parts, proposal days and voting days. There are three proposing groups, group A, group B, and group C. At the beginning of the game each group contains, as closely as possible, 1/3rd of the games population. When a player joins the game, they are randomly assigned to a group containing not more than 1/3 of the players.

On a proposing day, each member from the specified proposal group may submit one proposal. This proposal can be edited ONLY during that groups proposing day. Editing a proposal on its voting day or later renders the proposal illegal.

The following day(s), all players may vote on the submitted proposals by reacting with a thumbs up or thumbs down emoji.
Voting ends simultaneously with the start of the next proposing day, at which time all legal proposals that have a ratio of over 50% positive votes are adopted. The weekly schedule is as follows:

Monday: Proposing day for Group A Tuesday: Voting day for Group A proposals Wednesday: Proposing day for Group B Thursday: Voting day for Group B proposals Friday: Proposing day for Group C Saturday and Sunday: Voting day for Group C proposals

Players who have been assigned to a new group for any reason may only propose during that groups proposing day if they did not propose in their previous group's proposing day that week.
