Proposal: Banishment [Trivial]

Our enemies can sense weakness - and I'm not just talking about military force, but any lack of resolve caused by internal bickering. I say we deal swiftly with those not fully committed to the goals of our glorious Alliance.

Add a rule called Banishment:

Warlords may make a request to Banish a member of the same Alliance, by posting an entry which begins with the paragraph “Banishment Request: [Alliance Name], [Target Warlord Name]". Any Warlord in the Alliance may cast their vote on the request by declaring it in the comments of the entry. Valid votes are FOR, AGAINST, DEFERENTIAL and VETO, which must be represented by appropriate icons. If there exists more than one Vote from a single Strain on a single Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted. If a Strain leaves the alliance, their Vote no longer counts.

A vote of DEFERENTIAL is a vote of no opinion, or of faith in the decision of the Leader. The vote will count as the same as the Leader's vote. The Leader itself cannot cast a vote of DEFERENTIAL. If there is no Leader, a vote of DEFERENTIAL counts as an explicit vote of abstention.

A vote of VETO may be performed only by the Leader, and instantly denies the request.

If there are at least half (rounding up) as many FOR as there are Warlords in the alliance, or if it is more than 48 hours old and more than half of its votes are FOR, then the request is considered accepted, and any Warlord may replace the target Warlord's Alliance with "Exile". The target Warlord loses 20 Reputation and all members of the Alliance lose 10.

If there are at least half (rounding up) as many AGAINST as there are Warlords in the alliance, or if it is more than 48 hours old and less than half of its votes are FOR, then the request is considered denied, and the requesting Warlord loses 10 Reputation.

[This is essentially the same procedure as adding new members to an Alliance, but there is no way to avoid Reputation loss with such an internal struggle.]
