Either that, or for violating the Town Fountain, which would allow a longer exile, but would be illegal (but justifiable, if you ask me). >> Since 1/4 of all first-class players can prevent a proposal from >> passing, keeping all proposals from passing forever would require ten >> times as many as 1/3 of the number of existing first-class players, >> somewhere around 75 invaders. > > Depends on the proposal's AI. Blocking all power-3 proposals would be sufficient to cause Agora to no longer be a nomic. We'd pretty much have to shed the old gamestate and unofficially deregister people.

Quite right.

I guess during the first 21 days, the CotC can assign the cases; it's only during the last 7 days that the CotC can no longer ruin things if we're out of Emergency Session. There are also a few minor delays on both sides that could make things go either way. I guess, therefore, we can't depend on this war plan of mine unless Emergency Sessions are at least, say, an hour longer. Or we could just say something like "if there is an Emergency Session and more than 2/3 of all entities that have been players for the last 60 days are Senators, a power-3 proposal passes if it has more than 3/4 of the vote of registered Senators". --Warrigal
