~~== Starting the game ==~~

~~The game starts at the beginning of <date>~~

While this rule is part of the ruleset, no elections can be held. All attempts to make Declarations of Candidacy fail automatically. This rule is removed from the ruleset 36 hours after the game starts.

~~24 hours after the game starts, each player shall be randomly assigned a title from the list in [[#Titles|Titles]], until either:~~

~~#a. no titles other than Pawn can be assigned, or~~

~~#b. all players have been assigned one title each.~~

In each assignment, the probability of getting a specific title other than Pawn is: [(max number of holders for that title) - (number of players who already have that title)] ÷ [11 - (number of players who have a title other than Pawn)]

~~The probability of getting assigned the title of Pawn is 1 ÷ [11 - (number of players who have a title other than Pawn)]~~

~~The title assignments described in this rule shall be performed with a random number generator bot in the channel #game-actions.~~

This process may be performed by any player or players. If a player attempts to assign titles but the assignment does not follow the probabilities mentioned above, all title assignments starting from the one where a mistake was made are nullified.

=== Veto ===

Vetoing a proposal or Declaration of Candidacy has the same effect as retracting it.

Proposals made by Dictators can not be vetoed.

== Voting ==

Line 44:

Line 28:

The voting period for proposals is 24 hours. Once a proposal's voting period ends, if the weight of votes in favor is higher than the weight against, the proposal takes effect.

The voting period for proposals made by dictators ends once all dictators have voted.

== Elections ==

Line 52:

Line 38:

Every week, on a title's election day, an election for that title starts as soon as a Declaration of Candidacy for that title is made. Elections last 24 hours.

Once an election ends, the corresponding title is awarded to players with Declarations for that election. For each election, no more instances of a title may be awarded than that title's maximum number of holders. If there are more Declarations than ~~players~~, the players whose Declarations have the highest weight of votes gain the title. Ties are broken in favor of players who made earlier Declarations.

Once an election ends, the corresponding title is awarded to players with Declarations for that election. For each election, no more instances of a title may be awarded than that title's maximum number of holders. If there are more Declarations than that title's maximum number of holders, the players whose Declarations have the highest weight of votes gain the title.
