Proto: Back to nominations
[Takes consent out, just a period of nomination, followed by a period
of voting]
Amend Rule 2154 by replacing:
Any player CAN make an active player (hereafter the nominee) the
holder of an elected office, thus removing any previous holder
from the office, with Agoran Consent and the nominee's consent;
this process is known as installation.
If, during the minimum waiting period between intent and action
defined for Agoran Consent, another active player is nominated
in this way and consents, then the IADoP SHALL as soon as
possible initiate an Agoran decision to determine the new
officeholder; this process is known as election. Until the
election is resolved, the office CANNOT change hands via
installation, the remainder of this rule notwithstanding.
with:
Any player CAN by announcement nominate one or more active players
to be candidate(s) for an Office, this begins a nomination period
for that office, during which other candidates may be so nominated.
The nomination period lasts for four days. Once a nomination period
begins, a new one CANNOT begin for the same office until the
nomination or resulting election is resolved.
As soon as possible after the nomination period ends, then: (a) if
there is only one consenting candidate, the IADoP SHALL install em
in the Office by announcement; (b) if there are two or more consenting
candidates, then the IADoP SHALL as soon as possible initiate an
Agoran decision to determine the new officeholder; this process is
known as election.
and by replacing:
If an office is Temporal at the end of a quarter, and no attempt
to install a player into that office was made during that
quarter, then the IADoP SHALL make at least one such attempt
during the following quarter, and SHALL make the change if
possible; however,
with:
If an office is Temporal at the end of a quarter, and no nomination
period began for that office during that quarter, then the IADoP
SHALL make at least one nomination for the office during the
following quarter; however,
