Director Branch

All directors will have to post their general strategies in the 'office' thread. This will outline possible situations where the commissioner can not ask for orders from the directors but will have to act on the general orders.

Directors must poll all major decisions, such as deciding what science advance to pursue, what to build in a city, or where to place the workers in a particular city. However, they can act on minor decisions without polling the people, such as what to do in the event of a mindworm attack.

Article III: Polls

Elections:

No-confidence votes

* The word abstain is hereby stricken from the constitution, and replaced with the term 'xenobanana'. This replaces the abstain option in all official polls and elections. This then follows the time-honored precedent where a banana vote signifies disagreement with all choices on offer, or, to put it more negatively, a no-confidence vote in the poll or candidate being voted on.

Official polls:

Poll:
*Xenobanana
*Write-in-option
*Minimum of 3 days
*Minimum of 2 days
*Maximum of 7 days
*Clear and not biased question and answers

Unofficial:

May be started by all members of the faction. They are purely information gathering polls

Poll:
*Minimum of 3 days

First Post:
*Expire date (if any)
*Link to discussion thread (if any)

That's already in the constitution - I'm not adding it, nor am I removing it. It's only listed here because I'm making changes in that section of the constitution.

The issue's been raised, and I'll probably put it in a future amendment. Or, someone else can get off their butt and write their own amendment.
