You just have to register for Parliament, which you already technically are as a vip, so someone just has to update your forum account

When do the nominations stop, and the voting begin as I would like to see what all the candidates want/aim to bring to the VC community if they were elected CM.  :P

Ok cool, I'm happy with all the people who are nominated at the moment, but for a better understanding of who should be picked (when it comes to voting) and for the two that haven't yet got their 3 nominations, I'm curious as to what they all plan to do as CM

Now that we have a large amount of players back, i want to continue to make unique events like End of Life. I want to host smaller events every weekend as well too, like hunger games or pvp competitions.

In addition i want to help people who want to see things changed with the server through parliament get things up to vote, since in the past CM's haven't done much with that.

I just want to help the server be a fun, great experience for everyone, and want to hear feedback from as many people as possible.

I've got a few ideas in mind on how we could do this with people. Either a form of ranked choice (STV or similar) or an approval-style method are what I'm thinking of right now

You can vote "yes" or "no" for each candidate, and the one with the most votes can win.
It's described a bit here: https://midimagic.sgc-hosting.com/indepelc.htm

You vote for as many people as you want, the person with the most votes wins.

That's how the last election was, and it went well i think
Title: Re: NOMINATE 6th COMMUNITY MINISTER HERE!
Post by: Akomine on 4 April 2020, 08:00:28 PM
The last CM election was indeed approval voting, which I like. Approval+disapproval voting is where you can vote for or against someone, which I also like. VC forums allows for approval voting quite easily, but not a+d.
Title: Re: NOMINATE 6th COMMUNITY MINISTER HERE!
Post by: Theologist_Green on 6 April 2020, 12:55:18 AM
Are we going to do ranked-choice voting since there are so many people running? Or at least voting in rounds?
Title: Re: NOMINATE 6th COMMUNITY MINISTER HERE!
Post by: Yvette on 6 April 2020, 04:36:14 PM
Yeah I think with the amount of candidates running, a ranked-choice, or approval voting, would be good.
Title: Re: NOMINATE 6th COMMUNITY MINISTER HERE!
Post by: Akomine on 6 April 2020, 04:45:09 PM

Unclear if it will be bug-free by voting time or not. Unless I'm wrong, Luis.

I like either method tho.

My fave method is approval+disapproval with abstain option. I'd love to see that working eventually.

I mean that test had 10 votes and as far as I can tell there's nothing majorly broken about it, except the edge cases when STV itself breaks (ties etc)

I've also got that coded, which afaik also works reasonably well

Also, just a side note, as it might affect future votes:

In the future, we are considering making the CM position indefinite, with the way to change CMs being a vote to remove them. This has the benefit of not punishing CMs that are doing well, and can give CMs more time to get things done.

We are also considering allowing the CM to make an official CM team of two other people. This is all being planned out still, but I felt it right to introduce the idea, as it might affect future votes.

A few concerns.

1. I would prefer this to be confirmed by a Parliament Vote.

2. I worry people would not challenge the CM position because they don't want to 'cause drama', so to speak, so CM's wouldn't be ousted unless they were doing a TRULY horrible job.

Right, it will be a parliament vote, I've been talking about it with some people, and can put a vote up soon if that's desired.
I'll make a separate discussion thread for this.

Parl vote 20 was passed, new CM Guidelines have been adopted. In my opinion this election can occur at any time if nominations have stopped rolling in.

Also, in the past, nominations sometimes still come in during voting, which is fine, they're just at a bit of a disadvantage.
