	Amendment VIII Ratification Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Is this amendment reay to be added to the CoL?

Amendment VII:

The purpose of this amendment is to provide instructions on what to do in case a Great Leader(GL) should emerge during battle. This amendment shall be an exception to any part of the current Code of Laws, especially with regards to timing of turnchats/turnthreads.

1. The GL should immediately(once the game continues) be dispatched to a safe place for protection, preferrably to the city where he will complete his work.

2. It is recommended that as soon as the GL emerges(or as soon as feasible) that the game be stopped to decide the fate of the GL, as well as the destination city where he will meet that fate.

3. The President, Vice-President, SMC and City Planner, should discuss options for the GL. They should then poll the people, and the most popular option shall win. A pre-poll discussion thread can be started at their discretion, and should last no longer than three days.

4. The game will then restart as soon as practicable after the poll is complete.

5.The poll should last no longer than three days and follow the polling standards already listed in the Code of Laws.

6. In the event of a prolonged war, a Pre-poll may be used in place of stopping the game. Pre-poll results will remain current until the winning choice is completed and no longer available or there is a new choice to decide upon.


Options:
Yes
No
Abstain

For the purposes of this poll, abstain votes will be counted as 'no' towards the final %

Poll will close in 5 days

Edit: Discussion per NYE request:Amendment discussion: Use of Great Leaders

It would be helpful if you could provide links to threads where this amendment has been discussed so that people can easily find the relevant arguments for and against.

I would much prefer a permanent prepoll but do understand this can't foresee all possibilities. Still I support this amendment.

Aggie,
There was a prepoll discussion; IIRC very few people contributed and it fell off the front page.

It's linked to in the directory (Executive Section).

I'll come back and edit this post with a link if I've got time.

Adamada I meant I would rather have a permanent prepoll for GL, I saw the prepoll discussion for this. Sorry for being unclear.

Oh, ok. Gotcha . You weren't unclear at all, I was stupid. Sorry, I should have gotten it the first time -- I think I'm too tired to be interacting with people .

In my games, I always know what I'd do with a GL, should one appear. I don't see why this community cannot do the same. Make a minister in charge of holding a perpetual discussion and polls, and then he includes the standing popular choice in his orders. Not sure which minister this should be though. I see the prescribed delays in this amendment as unnecessary.

Now... if Amendment VIII passes and Amendment VII fails (which seems likely at this point), doesn't that mean that Amendment VIII becomes Amendment VII?

EDIT: And what then do we do with Amendment VII(a, or is that b? )

Yes. I shouldn't have numbered them. Will not in the future.

Edit: The MoE amendment will be discussed further, fixed, and polled again later

Bumping it up again, since it's on the second page already.

Needs to be kept in the public eye before it becomes law.
