Not-Proposal: Office bidding (AI=2, Distributable via fee) Co-author: Taral Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by replacing the text from "When an election is initiated" to the end of the rule with: An election lasts for one week. During the election, a player CAN submit a bid for a specified Interest Index by announcement (the value of the bid must be legal for an Interest Index). The current holder of the office (if any) implicitly submits a bid for the office's current II at the start of the election. During the first five days of the election, the person who submitted a bid CAN retract it by announcement. The winner of an election is the player who submitted the lowest bid. In case of a tie, the IADoP selects a winner among the tied players when resolving it. If no players submitted valid bids, there is no winner. The IADoP CAN resolve an unresolved, ended election by announcement, specifying the winner (if any), and SHALL do so as soon as possible after the end of the election. If there is a winner, this causes em to be installed into the office, and the II of the office to be set to the value of eir lowest bid.
