So I'm refusing to have my way... because I proppose in a vote where half the people want one thing and the other half want something else we go into overtime on voting? Seems awfully biased of yourself. My proposal is we give it a day or two more see if we can get a decisive result.

Pre-planned wars seemed nice when proposed in concept, but considering how the experiment has played out I think a rollback is long overdue. Pre-planning may have limited some of the old OOC disputes, but it has brought with it a plethora of new delay tactics that are just as noxious as the bickering.

Those votes were to late.

If this doesn't go through we can always vote again. Either way Isaac every member of the community has voted and a majority is clear, its time for them to have their day.

Likewise I no longer consider the preplan rule valid and will not see myself as restricted by it.

Then your wars, like Triyun's and Markus's will be wiped for breaking the rules.


You can't pull a vote out of your $#% after the deadline, if you choose to recognize this as acceptable voting. Then I will count the former threads as valid. I call shenanigans on what Curristan said based on the fact that he voted in favor of abolishing.

The vote ended with a tie. I think we can all agree that the burden of having a majority relies on the side seeking to make changes to already established rules. I don't really think you can call a poll that got a one vote lead after it was already finished a "clear majority" of the community.

As such, I will continue to not recognize non pre-planned wars until such time as a new poll is created and a majority of the community votes to end it.

[/quote]I think this sums up my opinion rather nicely.


I also notice no one commented on the fact that I pointed out that democratic actions pretty much[b] always require a majority to overturn the status quo[/b].

I no longer recognize the preplanning rule and will act accordingly. Further, as CNRP is no longer moderated by the mods, I see no reason why people who can't behave be kicked off the map. This brings me to my next point, I have absolutely no problem with troublemakers who want to hide behind the skirts of a dead preplan rule be voted off the map.

Times are a changing, for the better. Let's get rowdy people.

And why do people keep saying it's a draw? Looks like a clear majority for banishing the rule as far as I can see.

[/quote]First, the votes of people with no nations were not counted, then it was a tie at the moment of deadline.

Hiding behind your technicalities won't save you.

Pre-planning is dead.
[/quote]Who's hiding behind a technicality? Certainly not I. I have consistently pointed out that [b]all democratic processes require majority at the time of the deadline[/b] for their voting processes to overthrow the status quo. No, if anyone is hiding behind a technicality, it is the ones who called for an extended vote because they were getting a result they did not desire.
