User:Saamwiil/Algorithm Committee

It is well known that the PM3 algorithm needs much working, as has been shown by the Caliphatisation of wars, and the over reliance on certain parts of the algorithm, such as motives. For that reason this page, henceforth known as the the Hall of the Algorithm Committee, was created, with the specific intent to vanquish the implausibilities caused by the algorithm.

Composition
To insure that the Committee runs smoothly, there are certain rules specifying who may be members, and who may not, and whether or not there are too many members. The aforementioned necessary rules of the Committee Membership appear below:
 * The number of members in the committee shall increase and decrease as necessary, however it is preferable that the committee remains small.
 * Both mods and players may be a part of the committee, as to ensure that not only a minority of views will be included. It shall be encouraged that non-mods participate.
 * Players who are overly-biased, and have a history of implausibility are not encouraged to join the Committee.
 * All proposed members of the Committee may enter, given that the committee has no more than ten members, and that 40% of the committee approves of them joining.
 * Members of the committee deemed not to have the volition to help the algorithm improve may be removed, give that 80% of the members agree that a committee member has not the volition to improve the algorithm.
 * Members may also be removed if, given the same support amongst members of the committee, they are not able to contribute on the necessary basis.

Voting
To ensure that decisions are well planned, and beneficial for the rest of the Principia Moderni Series, ideas that do not reach consensus shall have a discussion period of one calendar week (seven days). Within these seven days, it is mandatory that the problem be discussed in rational terms, and no further voting may occur in this time period. After said time period expires, if an idea has a 66% of the committee voting in its favour, it shall pass into the Proposed Algorithm.

A member has three options when it comes to voting: For example, given that 4 members favour, 4 abstain, and 2 decline, it shall be counted as 4/6 or 66%. Therefore, the resolution passes.
 * Favouring -- This is counted as a +1 to the the amount of votes casted.
 * Abstaining -- The total amount necessary for an idea to pass is decreased by one.
 * Declining- Nothing is adding to the amount of committee members supporting a resolution.

If a member of the committee does not vote within three of the idea being presented, it is counted as an abstention.

Proposed Algorithm
After an idea has been decided upon, it does not carry immediate effect in the game, instead it is added to the Proposed Algorithm. This is where all approved ideas are compiled to be used as a part of the new algorithm, completely replacing the old algorithm. Given that 66% of members agree to publish the Proposed Algorithm, it will become the new algorithm. No implied abstentions are allowed (they simply do not vote).

Approved Ideas:


 * This is where approved ideas will go.
