Voting System (Asynchronous)

Votes are built for global time zones. Clerks open and close windows; Council votes.

Quorum & Thresholds​

  • Quorum: 5 of 9 votes (YES / NO / ABSTAIN).
  • Simple Majority: 5 YES.
  • Supermajority: 7 YES (required for blacklists, expulsions, rotation removal, amendments, overturning Severe penalties).

Abstain counts toward quorum. Votes are locked once posted.

Vote Windows​

  • 24h (Long): amendments, appeals, blacklists, alliance expulsion, rotation changes.
  • 16h (Standard): Moderate penalties, diplomacy rulings, routine decisions.
  • 8h (Emergency): active attacks, land emergencies, tag-drop incidents, urgent ceasefires, forced L6 seizures.

Votes close early if all 9 votes are submitted. Missing votes are ABSENT (not NO).

Participation Enforcement​

In any 14 days:

  • Miss 2 Emergency votes OR 3 total votes → review.
  • Potential outcomes (Simple Majority): rotation suspension, downgrade to Associate, temporary loss of voting rights.

Participation resets after 14 days.

Early Completion & Irregularities​

  • If quorum is met early, the window still runs unless all 9 votes are in.
  • Attempting to change a vote or double-vote is invalid; original vote stands.
  • Delegates vote only with authority; Alternates vote when primary is unavailable or conflicted.***
