Proposal: The Riot Act

Please read and think about it. I'm prepared to resubmit this (many times) if it's popular but flawed.

Change Rule 7: Calls to Judgement to Unique Proposals. Add the word Calls to Judgement in bold at the top. Add the following to the bottom.

Riots
Any player may instigate a Riot at any time by posting to the BlogNomic weblog. The post must contain the word 'Riot' in bold in its title to be considered a legal riot.

The Riot lasts for 48 hours. At the end of those 48 hours, the riot must have attained a 75% majority (i.e. 1.5xQuorum) to pass. If it has not, it fails. A Riot is not subject to veto.

If a riot passes, the dynasty immediately ends with no haitus. The entire ruleset except rules 1-10 and the glossary repeal themselves and the game continues in a meta-dynastic state until a new Poet is elected in accordance with the ruleset.

Add the following to Rule 3:

Morale is normalised at the beginning of each dynasty. If a Mariner's Morale was higher than 125 before the Ascension of the new Poet, it drops to 125. If it was lower than 75 before the Ascension, it rises to 75. If it was between 125 and 75, it retains its value for the new dynasty.

Add the following to the second paragraph of Rule 5:

If there is no Poet, a vot of DEFERENTIAL counts as an explicit vote of abstention.

Edit Rule 10 as follows:

Delete the emboldened line from the following paragraph, then move the paragraph to under the one that is currently below it:

When a Dynasty has been won, all Mariners' GNDT stats are reset to zero or blank, and their Morale is set to 100. Any Mariners who were idle throughout that Dynasty may be removed from the game, at the Poet's discretion.

Add the following paragraphs:

Should an Poet become idle during their tenure, the Dynasty immediately ends with no haitus. The entire ruleset (except rules 1-10 and the glossary) repeal themselves and the game continues in a meta-dynastic state until a new Poet is elected in accordance with the ruleset.

Periods of meta-dynasty are considered to be dynasties for the purposes of the ruleset, excluding Rule 9 in its entirity.

OK, that's a brief fix. Since the Declaration of Victory was illegal, and there is no haitus, this proposal should be fine. Basically, I'm trying to provide for a more ongoing game structure; meta-dynastic periods are periods without Emperor or theme, so that a continuous nature to the game can be developed.

Also, with minor problems, it will be easier to vote this in then edit it with proposals later. None of this is going to happen any time soon, after all.
