Proposal

New Rule:

If more than one third of the players are in disapproval of a proposal at the same time, any player may declare that proposal "dead" by editing its wiki page to indicate this status under a "Proposal Status" heading on the proposal's wiki page.

• At the moment a proposal becomes dead, all players are considered to immediately vote against it (regardless of how they may have previously voted regarding the proposal).
• Any new players added to the game are considered to immediately vote against all dead proposals.
• If, by any means, a player votes in favor of a dead proposal, that player is considered to immediately change their vote to be against it.
• If a proposal is dead, no player is permitted to edit its wiki page in such a way that would make it appear not to be dead.

Although they did lend a certain festive air to this year's Dia de los Muertos celebrations, some of the city's residents felt that lining the streets with exhumed corpses did pose a slight impediment to traffic.

Comments

I originally included the "(not counting time elapsed before the adoption of this rule)" bit because I didn't want proposals to become having already been retroactively dead as soon as this passed, but if a player has to actively declare a proposal dead, I guess it's unnecessary. --Jota 13:47, 27 January 2012 (PST)

Seems like this is kind of in conflict with the Supremajority rule, under which having a player in disapproval of a rule for four days straight isn't really an obstacle to passing it. Baf 17:59, 31 January 2012 (PST)

What if instead it required more than one third of the players to be against it? I'm mainly just interested in clearing out some of the old proposals that are cluttering the list that will probably never pass. (Edited the proposal, since no one but I has voted on it yet.) --Jota 05:08, 1 February 2012 (PST)
