Proposed Constitutional Amendment: 0-Based Borda count

[Flyingroc Chung]

While we have historically held the zero-based Borda count as the way we count faction rankings, the confusion of the last election makes me think that we should make it clear int he constitution that we are using 0-based borda count. I therefore submit this amentment:

change the fist paragraph of Article 1 section 2 to

Representative seats are chosen by means of the Sainte-Laguë method using scores generated by Borda-count ranked votes cast by citizens. The last place rank in the Borda-count shall have a score of 0; and each successively higher rank shall shall have a score of 1 more than the next lower rank. The citizens will also rank the list of candidates from their first-pick faction to serve on the RA.

Good idea! It will serve well until we figure out of what we need to do..

[Justice Soothsayer]

This topic is on the tentative agenda for the first RA meeting on 3 August.

[Justice Soothsayer]

This amendment passed unanimously (6-0) at the 3 August 2008 meeting of the RA.

[Leon]

This amendment passed unanimously (6-0) at the 3 August 2008 meeting of the RA.

Does the RA only have 6 members this term? If not, then whose vote wasn't captured?

[Justice Soothsayer]

Pip was unavoidably absent.
