Proposal: Divine Wisdom

Add a rule called Petition:

Families may petition the Emperor when allowed to do so by other rules. This must be made in the form of a post with a subject of "Petition: [Topic]". The poster is known as the Petitioner. The Emperor may not be a Petitioner.

Any Family may respond to the Petition using comments, but only the Emperor may vote on it. The Emperor may vote FOR or AGAINST, along with response text as allowed by the rule governing the particular Topic of the Petition - this is called the Emperor's Pronouncement. If the Emperor posts more than one Pronouncement, only the most recent may be Enforced. A Pronouncement must be Enforced as described by the rule governing the Topic of the Petition. A Pronouncement may only be Enforced once (although the Enforcement may in some cases consist of several actions). The Emperor may never Enforce a Pronouncement.

After 48 hours a Petition is considered resolved and is not subject to the Emperor's consideration any longer. If the Emperor has voted FOR the Petition then it is considered approved, if the Emperor has voted AGAINST the Petition then it is considered rejected, and if the Emperor has not voted then it is considered ignored.
