Proposal: Easier Idling

In rule 2, change

Some Lords are idle, and should be marked as such in the sidebar. For the purposes of rules other than 1 and 2, idle Lords are not counted as Lords. Admin may render a Lord idle if that Lord has failed to vote for more than a week, or if it has asked to become idle. Admins may un-idle a Lord at their request - the Lord's personal gamestate retains the values it had immediately prior to their idling.

There’s a GNDT field tracking the last time a Lord voted. Anytime a Lord casts a vote, he or she may change that field to reflect his or her action.

Admin may render a Lord idle if the last time that Lord has voted, according to the GNDT, is more than a week before the time of the idling, or if it has asked to become idle. Admins may un-idle a Lord at their request - the Lord's personal gamestate retains the values it had immediately prior to their idling.

I know I'm doing 2 things that are usually frowned upon: messing with a core rule and creating a GNDT field. But it's very annoying having to scan the comments of an entire week of posts just to see if someone can be idled. I guess this solves that problem.
