So, navarro, could you answer to my post??

**Mooks** · 01-18-2009, 23:29

Remind me why one persons vote counts 3?

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 01-18-2009, 23:30

Because he was Heres.

Check the Rules and Library.

The edict failed. I supported it but its time to move on.

@ Ibn:Well for the sake of this being a Republic and knowing that Dentatvs would die soon and knowing how many senators opposed the idea, i said specifically that i would not override anyone's vote and keep it a fair 1 vote per person. You have to consider that in this time, technically, a dictator nor an heres even existed. But as they are an in-game part, I like to acknowledge the fact that they are there

The fact that the Influence is in the Rules then we must obey the rules and thus the votes need to be checked again.
The next time we have a controversial Edict I could demand the same thing that everyones votes should be 1.
If it is in the Rules then we must follow the Rules.

I agree with this. If you want a rule changed, that's what CAs are for. No CA used, no rule changed, and it's still valid and should be followed.

However, if the result was 7-7 then the edict still failed, as rule 3.3 states:

3.3 Edicts

Edicts require a simple majority of votes to pass and remain in effect until the next normal session of the Council.
Tied Edicts fail. If contradictory Edicts are passed, the one with the most votes takes priority.

Or am I missing something here?
