EXPERIMENT 00079 RULE SELECTION

As selected on Discord #botspam, the rule for this week is Rule 2168
("Extending the Voting Period"). I affirm under penalty of No Faking that, to 
the
best of my knowledge, the process used in this selection had the correct
distribution.

Please send suggestions if you have them!

The text of Rule 2168 is reproduced below for convenience:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rule 2168/9 (Power=2)
Extending the Voting Period

       Whenever the voting period of an Agoran decision would end, and
       the result would be FAILED QUORUM, the length of the voting period
       for that decision is instead increased to 14 days, except if it is
       already that length, provided this has not already happened for
       the decision in question.

Within four days of such an occurrence, the vote collector for the

       decision SHALL issue a humiliating public reminder naming the
       slackers who have not yet cast any votes on it despite being
       eligible, and CAN end its voting period by announcement (resolving
       it constitutes an implicit announcement that its voting period is
       first ended) if the result would no longer be FAILED QUORUM, or if
       the decision is a referendum on a proposal and no voter (other
       than possibly the proposal's author) has voted FOR.
