Proposal: Ministerial Takeover

Add a rule Ministerial Takeover:

This rule doesn’t create a Victory Condition. If someone becomes Prime Minister under this rule, this is still the First Dynasty of Chronos. If Chronos is not the current Prime Minister, he may style himself H.L.Chronos, where H.L. stands for High Lord.

This rule repeals itself in the end of this Dynasty.

A Lord may Request to become Prime Minister if he meets all these conditions:

* He is the Speaker of Party with at least 3 Lords;
* The totaled number of Electoral Votes held by Lords in his Party is greater than one third of the totaled number of Electoral Votes held by all Lords in the game;
* He is not currently the candidate in a Request to become Prime Minister;
* He is not precluded to post a Request to become Prime Minister by any rule;

If a Lord meets all conditions required to do so, he may post an entry with subject: "Request to become Prime Minister". In the body of the entry the Candidate may say why he should become the new Prime Minister.

All Lords may cast their Electoral Votes in the comments of an entry with a Request to become Prime Minister. These Votes are not binding, and their function is to signal the current Prime Minister about the popularity of the Candidate. No Electoral Vote may be cast on a Request to become Prime Minister that has already been Granted or Denied by the Prime Minister.

After 24 hours of the posting of a Request to become Prime Minister, the current Prime Minister may Grant or Deny the Request. After 48 hours of the posting of a Request to become Prime Minister, if the current Prime Minister has neither Granted nor Denied it, it is considered Denied and any Lord may update the Gamestate to apply any consequences of a Denial as if he were the Prime Minister. The consequences of either Grating or Denying of a Request to become Prime Minister may be applied only once to the Gamestate.

If more than half of the Electoral Votes cast on the Request are FOR it and the current Prime Minister Grants the Request, he is entitled to take up to 5 Confidence from each Lord who had cast votes AGAINST it and distribute that Confidence freely between any Lord or Lords who have voted FOR it.

If at least half of the Electoral Votes cast on the Request are AGAINST it and the current Prime Minister Grants the Request anyway, he must lose 5 Confidence for each AGAINST Electoral Vote it has. The current Prime Minister may not Grant the Request this way if he has not enoug Confidence to lose.

If more than half of the Electoral Votes cast on the Request are FOR it and the current Prime Minister Denies the Request anyway, he must lose 5 Confidence for each FOR Electoral Vote it has. The current Prime Minister may not Deny the Request this way if he has not enoug Confidence to lose.

If at least half of the Electoral Votes cast on the Request are AGAINST it and the current Prime Minister Denies the Request, he is entitled to take up to 5 Confidence from each Lord who had cast votes FOR it and distribute that Confidence freely between any Lord or Lords who have voted AGAINST it.

The current Prime Minister may not Grant or Deny a Request to become Prime Minister if there is an older such Request without Granting or Denial.


Upon the Granting of a Request to become Prime Minister, the Candidate becomes the new Prime Minister immediately after the announcing of the Grant.

Upon the Denying of a Request to become Prime Minister, the Candidate is precluded to post another such Request until 72 hours has passed since the announcing of the Denial.
