I have edited Proposal 303 to include the following:
If no player currently meets this threshold, the first player to meet this criteria will become the Monarch.
The Pagetop Times
Current Immutable Rules:
Spoiler:
101: Players must follow all currently active rules.
102: A rule is active (except as excluded in 103) if it passes and has not
been repealed or amended by another rule.
103: A rule is no longer active if it is completely overridden by another
rule or repealed.
104: No rule shall be made to stop further amendments, additions, or deletions
of the rules.
105: Five active players are required to make, vote upon, or pass proposals.
106: Inactive players automatically abstain on all proposals.
107: Voting threshold changes due to additional players or inactive players
are considered instantly.
108: Immutable rules automatically override mutable rules unless an
immutable rule specifies otherwise.
109: Whenever a mutable law conflicts with a mutable law, or an immutable
law conflicts with an immutable law, the lowest ordinal shall take precedence
unless otherwise dictated by the laws. If both defer to each other, then
the number rule applies again.
110: All players are eligible to vote.
111: All immutable rules may be transmuted to mutable rules by unanimous
consent.
112: Mutable rules may be transmuted to immutable rules by unanimous consent.
113: To calculate the total number of active votes, tally up the number
of votes possessed by active players minus the votes of abstaining players.
114: All new rules are mutable.
115: In the initial ruleset, rules 101-118 are immutable, and rules
201-214 are mutable.
116: It takes unanimous consent from all other players to override the
moderator on the formatting of the game's associated wiki pages.
117: Players must follow the formatting and updating guidelines specified in
the rules and by the moderator.
118: Players must help update the game status by adding their name when they
vote for or against a proposal and by marking when a proposal has been
accepted or rejected. (Note that these refer to updating the wiki pages.)
Current Mutable Rules:
Spoiler:
201: All players are given one vote to vote Yea or Nea to proposals.
202: An inactive player is any player who has not posted for a total of
72 hours.
203: Unless otherwise specified, immutable rules must be transmuted before
they are amended or repealed.
204: Unless otherwise specified, all mutable rules require an absolute
majority of active votes to amend or repeal.
205: New proposals begin at 301 and ascend in number. They are numbered
in accordance to the time they are proposed regardless of whether they pass
or fail.
206: New rules require an absolute majority of active votes to pass.
207: The game begins when there are at least five active players,
including the moderator.
208: There may be no more than five pending proposals at any given time.
A pending proposal is a proposal that has not yet been marked as having
passed or failed.
209: Votes for proposals should be done using the vote tags and include
"Yea" or "Nay" (and variants and any other options that are allowed in
future rules) and include the proposal number.
210: It is the player's responsibility to number proposals correctly.
Proposals with missing or incorrect numbers are automatically failed and
are not added to the proposal history.
211: Players may VOTE: ABSTAIN # to abstain on a proposal. (Please use
vote tags or bold.)
212: To join, simply post /in.
213: All players start with 0 points.
214: The first player to reach 100 points wins the game.
301: Currency refers to any resource which may be freely traded between players without any cost. Should a law instate a new currency, it must have a name, and one initial way to earn it. If it is not stated, assume that all players start with 0 of the Currency.
302: The player who proposes a proposal that passes gains 1 point. This rule is retroactive at the time of enactment.
Current Proposals:
Proposal 303 (Post 19) by Jake The Wolfie: The Monarch is defined to be exactly one player at a time, who has special abilities that may later be defined. In addition, The Monarch may choose to abdicate their power to a player of their choice. If more than 3/4ths of all active non-Monarch players vote to overthrow the Monarch, then a new Monarch shall be picked with the old Monarch being ineligible for being picked. If a Monarch becomes inactive, a new Monarch shall be picked.
If no player is currently the Monarch, whoever has the most points above 10 and is eligible shall become the Monarch. All inactive players are considered ineligible for becoming the Monarch.
Yea - Jake The Wolfie (19)
Nay - lendunistus (21)
Not Voting - Ircher, tris, Charles510
hmm, the terms "rule" and "proposal" are being used somewhat interchangeably. i would like to define those terms more clearly, but that requires more thought, so i'll think about this more tomorrow.
pedit:
Proposal 304: If a proposal is edited while pending, all yea votes aside from that of the proposer are immediately removed.
VOTE: yea 304
while we're at it,
Proposal 305: A player automatically votes yea on any proposal that they propose for which yea is an option.
Proposal 306: When a proposal has not been voted on for 72 hours in a row or the player who made the proposal becomes inactive, the proposal automatically fails.

if that’s Ircher’s job, apologies but oh well
No, that's great! It's why this one is in the wiki format because sometimes the workload is really high otherwise.
In post 32, lendunistus wrote:oh you have to edit proposal history as well
I’ll get to that… sometime soon
That's actually less of a concern. As long as proposals are marked as passed/failed, we can always archive them later. (You can just keep them in the active proposals section; just make sure they have a line that says "Accepted/Rejected as of post #." That way, we know it's no longer active and doesn't count against the number of allowed active proposals.)
VOTE: Abstain 303
I'm not sure we really want a monarch. VOTE: Yea 306 VOTE: Nay 307
I don't see the point of 307. Is that not what it already says?

Meh. I think 202 is fine as-is, but I would accept the additional proposal (of posting making you active again). I think that's a very narrow way to view it semantically granted this is a game where people rules-lawyer, but I wouldn't say it's the most common interpretation.
