Info

All times mentioned in this ruleset are in UTC. Days start and end at 00:00 UTC.

Actions such as vetoing an election or proposal must be made before the proposal passes/the election ends, and the player doing the action must announce that they are performing it in the channel #game-actions.

Players

Anyone may become a player by posting a message announcing their intent to become one in the channel #game-actions. A player may stop being a player by announcing their intent in that same channel or by leaving the Discord server.

Voting

For voting, each player's vote has weight 1 unless otherwise specified. The votes of all non-players have weight 0.s

Proposals

Any player may make a proposal by sending a message in the channel #proposals. If that message is deleted or modified during its voting period, the proposal is retracted.

The voting period for proposals is 24 hours. At the end of a non-vetoed proposal's voting period, if the weight of valid votes in favor is higher than the weight against, the proposal takes effect. A vote is valid if, at the end of the voting period, the person casting the vote is an eligible player. A :+1: reaction on the proposal message is a vote in favor, and a :-1: reaction is a vote against.

Elections

Election Mechanics

At the beginning of each title's election day, all players who have that title lose it.

On a title's election day, a player can make a Declaration of Candidacy by posting a message stating their intent to do so in the channel #elections, specifying the title. 24 hours after the first Declaration of Candidacy for a title is made, the N players (if any) with the highest weight of votes gain that title, where N is the title's maximum number of holders. A :+1: reaction on a Declaration message by an eligible player constitutes a valid vote. Ties are broken in favor of players who made earlier Declarations.
