Rule Consultations

[Octavian X]

In light of the recent controvercy and confusion over our rather complicated rule set, I would simply like to announce that I am here to consult about rules in our game.

If you are in any need of and any information about any part of our rules, or how to set up a poll, post a question here, or pm me. Somebody who knows will respond. Also, remember that the judiciary is always there.

Also, I know that Shaitan does this in the RPG, through his legal service. I intend no conflict with him. This thread deals only with or Constitution, Code of Laws, and Code of Standards. Please do ask RPG related questions.

Good job Octavian X. This is the kind of effort we need to see.

Two questions about procedures:
1. If someone wanted to lessen the amount of votes required for a quorum, what kind of legal steps would have to be taken to get this done. Please baby-step me through this.

2. If someone wanted to create a legal document stating the issues that must be polled for by a Leader and have that document put into our legal system, how would they go about it.

1. The biggest hurdle in any change to the quroums would be a constitutional amendment, spefically to Article I. There, a the specific formula for the new quroum would have to be mentioned. D.3.4 of the CoL, and F.3.A, and F.4.B would have to have their wordings slightly changed, though, depending on the change, it may not be needed.

2. Multiple sub sections of the CoL state the specific duties. All of them are found under Section C.2.F-K. The various items would have to be mentioned under each of the departmets' descriptions.

Hope that helps!

Please do not delete the information in this thread as it will be needed by the people in the rule-changing arena.

Excellent idea OctavianX, thank you for stepping forward.

I also remind all citizens that the thread for Judiciary issues is also available for legal questions.

Question:
Which type of poll (quick or normal) would be eligable for the following scenarios to give a binding result?
* citizen honours
* province borders
* city placement
* attack plan (not whether to actually attack, just a war-plan!)
* declaration of war
* tile working in city
* city build queue
* worker assignment

My thoughts?

Normal Poll: Honors, Provinces, City Placement, Attack Plans (overall, individual movement is under control of the ML and DP), and of course Declaration of War.

Quick Poll: Change to city build queue

No Poll Needed: Tiles worked, Worker Assignment

Note, I say no poll needed, but that assumes there is general agreement in the thread....and general agreement doesn't mean everyone agrees. In these minor cases, it is up to the leader to decide what needs to be polled.

City placement, who to attack, borders, etc... are MAJOR issues that should always be polled. That doesn't mean that every little thing has to be polled.

Thank you. This will help clarify the quick poll issue.
