Aww, thanks for coming up with all this after I put up the voting thread
I don't mean the proponent of the idea will have actual moderating powers on the thread, it'll be just like I did, where I asked for the thread to be locked since the discussion had been dead for over a week.
I thought the 2/3 majority was pretty clear, if 2/3 of the votes are 'yes' then the proposal will pass.
As far as the X-Game thing, if the proposal has nothing to do with actual WOK mechanics, there wouldn't be an X-Game. I didn't want to make a requirement for an X-Game because we'd quickly have too many proposals that need X-Games, not enough GM's to run them, and not enough players to play them. I think if during the discussion a GM volunteers to run an X-Game, and eight or more players sign up for it, then an X-Game could be run. I left it vague on purpose. However, if an X-Game DOES take off, then voting would be delayed until the result of the change could be properly evaluated.
It seems you guys are against flexibility. If exact rules for everything are needed, we could do that, but they're exploitable, which is why I give the power to the mods. Discussion threads could be locked and votes started one week since the last post in the discussion thread, but what's to stop somebody 'filibustering' a proposal, posting every 6 days, so it never gets voted on. Voting threads could be limited to just a week, but what if we're voting on something really important and we want to email inactive vets and devs and pull in as many votes as we can.
