filibustering only works if all our resources are being consumed in such a way we are literally unable to vote (eg the senate floor being occupied with someone, preventing others from talking or moving forwards with other matters), nerd
also voting already began and thanks to prop 301 it's guaranteed to end even if other voters don't show up
RIP prop 303

On the contrary, 301 gives me the perfect means to filibuster. Every vote resets the duration of the voting period, and with no consideration given to those of us *changing* their vote... I believe I have the floor.

However, the wording of rule 207, at least in my interpretation, outlaws casting more than one vote forth. Each player has exactly one vote.
I'd like to invoke judgement (see 212) of the application of rule 207 from the previous player to take a turn, Zewaka.

I agree with the invoking of judgment. I agree with the appointment of cyberTripping to be the judge for this turn as said per 212.
I would amend Rule 301 in Proposition 304 to read as follows:
Eligible voters are given half a day's time (12 hours) to vote, starting with the initial vote on the proposition. Any vote that is newly cast within the turn of the proposition then resets the turn's timer up to a maximum of 36 hours.. If the time for eligible voters to vote runs out, any eligible voters who have not already voted are disqualified from the vote. The results of the vote are then based only on the votes given.

Thats a good idea, but i dont think thats what judges do. If I'm reading 212 right, it just means you decide the legality of this thing under the law. in this case, if this "changing your vote indefinitely" idea violates 207 or not

Respectfully disagree with filibustering, as allowing it will effectively let Superlagg control the game.

(not a vote or anything, just discussion) I've got Plans, but it's going to take a little setup. Fellow chaos-enjoyers, please note that the next couple proposals I make are setup for something GRAND. I am not suggesting you vote for or against them, as I am not interested in violating rule 210, but if my next couple proposals pass, it will enable me to propose HILARIOUS THINGS.
