Senate of VillageCraft / Senate Vote Number 6: Senate Guidelines Revision #1
« on: 25 March 2021, 01:48:48 PM »
Senate Vote #6: Senate Guidelines Revision #1

With the passing of this legislation, the following changes will be put to a vote by the Parliament of VillageCraft

--
If "Yes" is majority, the following changes will be implemented on the server
If "No" is majority, the status quo will remain


-States that the Senate is a body of the Parliament (there has been some confusion over this)
-Clears up votes with regards to investigations of Staff (there was some confusion over this a few months ago)
-Clears up terms and adds some terms, such as "Selection Event" to make things easier to follow
-Clears up some ambiguity about resignations, and the removal of the CM (who can still be eligible for selection)
-Adds a section "C.5: Sortition" to explain sortition in one spot
-Adds language to officially adopt the publicly-auditable and viewable Sortition Method and randomized daily Selection Lists developed by Ako and Luis
-Adds language to make sure orders to fill seat vacancies occur the following day (UTC) so no strategy/"cheating"  with selecting new Senators can occur
-Closes the "Upcoming Sortition List" 24 hours before the new session to give buffer time for the new list to be updated for the new Senate to be selected
-States that orders to fill vacant seats may not occur within the last 72 hours of a Senate Session (to sync with the above 24 hour buffer, and also because it would be odd)
-Places a (soft) limit of a maximum of 3 Staff members on the Senate, to avoid Staff dominance. Technically adding a player to the Staff who is a Senator can exceed this limit, but this is the only way.
-Requires the CM to choose whether to accept a Senate seat 1-10 days PRIOR to the start of a Senate Session, now removing their ability to slightly delay a session by not deciding.
-Makes it clear that Senate Votes last 5 days or until all Senators have voted, at the Speaker's discretion (there was some confusion about this)
-Makes it clear that System Admins are counted as 1 of the 3 staff required for consent (there was a question recently whether it was 3+1 admin or whether the admin counted)

Senate of VillageCraft / Senate Vote Number 5a: Amending Amendment to Rule 0, Addendum
« on: 10 March 2021, 10:22:45 PM »
Formal Draft for Senate Vote #5a: (1) Amendment to proposed rewrite of Rule 0, (2) adding Addendum
With the passing of this legislation, the following changes will be put to a vote by the Parliament of VillageCraft

This is the current wording proposed by the Senate, after much deliberation between the Senate and Parliament
---
NOTE: This will be an itemized vote, in which Item 1 can be passed independent from Item 2. Item 2, however, cannot be passed without the passing of Item 1.

Item 1)

If "Yes" is majority, the following changes will be implemented to the proposed wording of Rule 0.
If "No" is majority, the current wording will remain

Amending proposed change to Rule 0, changing the wording to the following:

1) Rule 0 will be redefined and rewritten as the following;
Status: Enforced
Keywords: Douche, Golden Rule, Hate Speech, Toxicity
Definition/Explanation:
- Treat others how you would like to be treated
- Staff Members reserve the ability to take action against persons displaying excessive "douchey" behavior, including but not limited to, hateful speech/symbolism, excessive toxicity, or in-game harassment; this rule will be enforced under circumstances where significant impact is done upon the recipient of the above.
Last Updated: XX, March, 2021
Other Information: This is now lightly enforced

Item 2)

If "Yes" is majority, the following addendum will be set in place for Rule 0.
If "No" is majority, the addendum will not be added.

Adding the proposed Addendum, which will only be required when administering some punishments related to Rule 0. Official wording is as follows:

When punishing players for breaking Rule 0,
-Locking chat channels, temporary mutes, and permanent mutes can be administered at staff discretion.
-Any banning, whether temporary or permanent, must be discussed and agreed upon by two other staff members, resulting in a total of three staff members approving of the punishment.

(Note to Senate members, I have grouped these two together under one vote, but when facing the Parliament they will be divided into two votes, Item 1 and Item 2. This was done to give Parliament the final say on whether or not they want the addendum to be added, as there was intense arguments on both sides and I feel like the players have a right to decide for themselves).

Hello everyone!

The Senate is now discussing a couple plugins, one of which is BottledExp. In short, it does exactly what the title says, it allows you to bottle Exp that you currently have, in order to be used later.

Senate of VillageCraft / First Speaker of the Senate
« on: 3 December 2020, 11:18:11 PM »
Hello fellow VillageCraft Senate members, Parliament Members, and all VillageCrafters alike:

I would like to thank the Senate members for voting me in as the Speaker of the Senate. As Speaker, I will work with Senate members to streamline plugin suggestions, investigate abuses of power, and initiate votes in order to serve the people of VillageCraft. Not only will I work with my fellow Senate members, I will also take suggestions from everyone and bring them forth to the Senate. It is my number one priority to work with everyone in order to help shape the server how the players would like to see it.

That being said, if anyone would like help investigating anything, or would like to suggest plugins, feel free to message me or any of the other Senate members, or @senator on Discord!

Thank you everyone again for this opportunity, and as always I am open to receiving feedback and criticism.

Parliament | Suggestions / Server Lag Discussion
« on: 9 April 2020, 07:07:08 PM »
Recently there has been an increase in server lag, likely caused by the use of large farms while other people are on the server. There has been another increase in new players, and this lag can be an immediate turn off for everyone, especially the new players. In an attempt to keep these new players and make a better experience for everyone, I have been asked to bring up discussion about possible solutions. I have my own ideas, but I would love to hear everyone else's first!

Parliament | Suggestions / CM Term Length and CM Team
« on: 9 April 2020, 02:33:44 PM »
Recently I have been talking to other staff and I would like to introduce an idea that Akomine, Cyphur, and I have been developing. Given that the CM terms are almost never the 2 months that they are supposed to be (Mine has been about 5, Hobbes' was about 2 years), and since a vote every two months isn't necessarily required if the CM is performing well. The Indefinite term is already basically a reality, as the only time a new vote starts is when the MP's get together and suggest one, such as this current vote for the 6th CM. This is already tje procedure that is put in place to vote out a CM in the middle of their term, so relatively little would change. It is for this reason that I suggest, along with others, that the CM position be officially indefinite, effective as of the 6th term.

In addition, through the course of my term, the 5th, I have established a team that has been helping me build events. This has been very beneficial in building large new events and more complicated ones (such as End of Life and the ongoing development of the HG map). I would like to suggest that going forward, the CM can elect two members to be on a "CM Team" with them. This would formalize the team that I have made, and would allow people to know who this team is.

Both of these are up the discussion however, and I would love to hear your opinions below. The CM is made to serve the community, and thus the position is in your hands.

This is by no means an actual vote, just a place to discuss ideas and opinions related to resetting the nether. Please be nice to one another as always, as I know this is a heated subject.

Parliament Vote #19 - Move VC Parliament To The VC Discord

Should we add a "Parliament" channel to the server's Discord, and effectively move the Parliament there?

What would this do?
- Effectively, Parliament would be moving to Discord instead of the forum. All votes and discussions about plugins would occur there.
- However, discussions can still occur here as well. Voting would just take place on Discord.

What this would entail:
- Addition of a channel labelled "Parliament"
- Addition of a role titled "MP"
         -This allows for users with the "MP" tag to comment and post in the "Parliament" channel
-All votes would be posted with an @MP, and then pinned for easy access

This is a vote initiated by Community Minister TheLegend12369, and was nominated by players:
Yvette (Staff), CyphurTheFox, TheLegend12369, Seaborgium, TheoGreen

If "yes" is majority, a "Parliament" channel will be added to the Discord
If "no" is majority, the channel will not be added

All Members of Parliament may vote.
For the act to pass, a majority of voting MPs must vote in favor.

If you are indifferent, please abstain.

Am I allowed to start the nomination process for the new CM election myself or does staff have to do it? It's past time, and since another wave of players are back to play it's a good time to change it up again.

Also, should credit Sax for recommending this first :)
