Proposal: Crisis of Conscience

Change rule 5 - Voting from:

Any Mariner may cast their vote on a Pending Proposal by declaring it in the comments of the entry. Valid votes are FOR, AGAINST, and DEFERENTIAL, which must be represented by appropriate icons. If there exists more than one Vote from a single Mariner on a single Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted. If a Mariner leaves the game or goes idle, their Vote no longer counts.

A vote of DEFERENTIAL is a vote of no opinion, or of faith in the decision of the Poet. The vote will count as the same as the Poet's vote. The Poet itself cannot cast a vote of DEFERENTIAL.

FOR votes may be marked as 'Trivial' if the voter thinks that the Proposal should have been marked Trivial. (If most of a Proposal's FOR votes are marked 'Trivial', the Proposal becomes Trivial.)

If the Mariner who made a Proposal has not cast an explicit Vote on it, their Vote is counted as FOR.

Valid votes are FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAINING , and DEFERENTIAL, which must be represented by appropriate icons.

A vote of ABSTAINING indicates that the voter has considered the issue but does not want to cast an opinion on either side, even being deferential. Their vote is, for all intents and purposes not counted.

FOR votes may be marked as 'Trivial' if the voter thinks that the Proposal should have been marked Trivial. (If most of a Proposal's FOR votes are marked 'Trivial', the Proposal becomes Trivial.)

If the Mariner who made a Proposal has not cast an explicit Vote on it, their Vote is counted as FOR.




Recently there have been a series of proposals I haven't wanted to vote either way on. I wished to register this, but not throw my vote in. SatyrEyes votes early and I often knew where my deferential vote would go.

We're obviously going to need a new icon for this.
