Welcome to VP Congress Session #6!
We have quite an agenda this session! Yet, somehow after all those proposals, we ended up with fewer proposal threads than last time! Funny how that works out.
There were notably a lot of counterproposals this session, so expect a lot of different flavors of ice cream as you browse the polls.
Voting closes on November 7th, 2023 at 12 PM CST. This is just short of a week from now. As most votes are cast shortly after the Voting Phase begins, this should be ample time for voting.
Many thanks to our three Magi, @Stalker0, @axatin and @Hinin, for their valuable contributions in running the VP Congress this session!
Voting Instructions:
In general, our votes are multiple choice and voting is public. You may change your vote at any time until the voting period is closed.
Majority Rules: A proposal must receive a yes vote that is the majority of votes cast AND must be 25 or more votes, otherwise the proposal counts as a NO. Example: If a proposal received 20 yes votes, and 18 no votes....while the yes vote received more it didn't meet the 25 vote standard and so would be counted as a no.
Supermajority Rules: In rare cases we have proposals that are considered such a large change to the mod that we want to ensure a large portion of the community really wants them. For these proposals (which are marked on the proposal itself), a Yes option must receive a full 75% of all votes cast in order to be approved.
There are 3 types of voting:
The most straightforward proposal. You can vote yes to include it into Vox Populi; vote no to indicate you don't want it included. You can even vote for both options if you want to indicate that you have no preference.
For these proposals, there are multiple options you can choose from. Ultimately only one of the options can be incorporated into the mod, so the one that has the most votes will win, or none of them will be implemented if the No option receives the majority.
These proposals also have multiple options, but the mod can accommodate one or more of them. For these proposals we give the options representing all of the combinations. So in our example, you could vote for the first option only, the second option only, both the options together, or none of the options.
A Few Highlights
There are five major reworks to espionage that have been proposed, all of which fundamentally redesign the system. Three of them are variants of the same system, while the other two are unique.
We frequently receive complaints about the espionage system. If you have issues with how things currently are, please cast your vote in (6-36) Espionage Overhaul!
(6-34) Disable Events System By Default requires a Supermajority Vote (75%+ Yes) in order to pass.
There are seven proposals, which I think is a new record, to rework the Acquire City quest: (6-06) CS Quest: Acquire City Quest Proposals
(6-20 & 6-21 & 6-22) Manufactory, Forge and Pantheon Proposals is especially complicated, although I have done my best to make the options more understandable. Please take your time when voting on it.
Here is the master list of all voting threads for this session (or just the list, but calling it the "master list" sounds cooler):

- Multiple Options (Exclusive Choice)
For these proposals, there are multiple options you can choose from. Ultimately only one of the options can be incorporated into the mod, so the one that has the most votes will win, or none of them will be implemented if the No option receives the majority.
- Multiple Options (Inclusive Choice)
These proposals also have multiple options, but the mod can accommodate one or more of them. For these proposals we give the options representing all of the combinations. So in our example, you could vote for the first option only, the second option only, both the options together, or none of the options.
