OFFICIAL - to decide once and for all on the time limit for playing turns (part3)
This is part three of FOUR polls to finally settle DEMOCRATICALLY and FAIRLY the problems caused by late and persistently late playing of turns.

This poll (part3) is to determine what the penalty should be for first time offenders.

The winner needs a clear 50% majority, or there will be a run-off between the TWO (or more only in the case of an exact tie) most popular options. The poll will run for 3 days as per the old constitution. When this is settled, the decision requires a 2/3rds majority to change, as per the old constitution. Hopefully these 4 polls will be the final word on the subject.

Options are :
  • No penalty, for this first offence.
  • A public warning from Googlie
  • Googlie plays the turn to the best of his ability, and trys to follow the instructions left by the team.
  • Googlie plays the turn like a robot, following instructions left by the team, even if they make no sense or are incomplete.
  • Googlie simply presses "End turn" and posts the save
  • The team is turned over to the AI and eliminated
  • Write-in
  • Xenobanana

THIS POLL IS NOT OFFICIAL

No way can we have planet-wide elections like this on the basis of one vote per person when the faction sizes are so disparate.

No penalty if they have a valid reason. I propose each team gets three examptions, each worth 24 hours. They can use before they get any penalty. That means even if this is the first time, if the turn has been sitting in their hands for too long, they still can get to be penalized (which they should).

Are you assuming that people in the same faction will have the same opinion?

There is no block voting. Googlie can confirm that in no faction's private forum that people are bing instructed to vote the party line. There is no party line.

One vote - one person. That's DEMOCRACY. This poll is official enough.

If you don't like it, may I introduce you to the Xenobanana option. If more than 50% of people agree with you, we'll see. I doubt it, somehow.
