Starting the game

All persons who were players in the previous round when it ended start as players in this round, provided they haven't left the Discord server.

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 once two players with the moderator role announce in #game-actions that the assignment period is over.

24 hours after the round starts, each player who was a player before the round starts shall be randomly assigned a title from the list in 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. Another player may then continue the assignment, until each player has been assigned a title.

Info

General

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

Players

Only players may have titles. Only players with the proper titles may perform actions and vote.

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.

Actions

All game actions in this section can be performed by announcing them in the channel #game-actions.

Veto

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

Voting

For voting, each player's vote has weight 1 unless otherwise specified.

A :+1: reaction on a Declaration message or Proposal message at the time when the voting period or election ends constitutes a vote in favor.

A :-1: reaction on a proposal message at the time when the voting period or election ends constitutes a vote against.

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

Elections

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 one Declaration of Candidacy by posting a message stating their intent to do so in the channel #elections, specifying the title. If that message is deleted or modified during its corresponding election, the Declaration is retracted.

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 that title's maximum number of holders, the players whose Declarations have the highest weight of votes gain the title. Ties are broken in favor of players who made earlier Declarations.

Titles

Each player has exactly one title, and has the "Pawn" title if they would otherwise lack one. Upon gaining a title, all other titles are revoked from that player.

title election day max. num. of holders can vote on elections for can veto vote has weight 2
King Monday 1 any proposal on all proposals
Queen Tuesday 1 any candidacy on all elections
Rook Wednesday 2 No No
Bishop Thursday 3 No No
Knight Friday 3 No No
