Re: Turn 27
Actually, it did not officially pass. Note that when the 48 hour time limit expired, there were only 6 votes recorded:
Yes:
Ermor
Jontunheim
No:
Vanheim
Pangaea
T'ien Ch'i
Mictlan
Thus, according to the rules, the proposition failed by a 4 to 2 vote.
HOWEVER, after a one day voting extension, it passed easily by a final tally of 8-3 in favor, indicating a generally positive opinion of the council.
This dilemma makes it clear that we need to update the voting rules by coming up with some kind of quorum rule needed as brought up by Suli-Krom in the pre-prosition discussion on the COW site.
In particular, by putting up a vote at 1 AM on Christmas morning, it did make it hard for busy (and drunk) wryms to read the proposal and vote with a clear head.
