Here's a proposal to make expedited proposals, for when we want bugfixes or
need an emergency fix, or just don't want to wait up to 21 days for a
proposal to pass that everyone agrees on, for instance if gameplay is just
broken and people want to play quickly:
{{{
Title: Expedited Proposals
Adoption Index: 2.0
Author: snail
Co-author(s):
Amend Rule 2606 (Proposal Classes) to read in full:
{
Proposals created since the enactment of this rule have a secured
untracked Class switch with possible values ordinary (the default),
expedited, and democratic.
When a proposal with an adoption index greater than or equal to
3.0 is created, its class becomes democratic.
Each player CAN, with 2 Agoran consent, flip an ordinary proposal's
class to democratic, provided it is in the Proposal Pool or
that there is a referendum on it whose voting period has not yet
ended.
Each player CAN, with 2 support, flip an ordinary proposal's class to
expedited, provided it is in the Proposal Pool and e has not done so yet
this week. Each player CAN, by announcement, flip an expedited proposal's
class to ordinary, but SHOULD only do so if the proposal is not a bugfix,
emergency, or time-sensitive issue, or if e sees an issue with the proposal.
Each player CAN distribute an expedited proposal, by announcement.
Each player CAN act on behalf of the Assessor to resolve an unresolved
referendum on an expedited proposal, provided that referendum has no valid
AGAINST ballots cast on it.
}
[Note that democratic (AI 3+) proposals can't be expedited.]
