Proposed Rule 306: Incentivize timeliness

[eglenn]

My proposed Rule 306 amends the points system to encourage all players to vote in a timely manner. After a vote is tallied, points are awarded to all players, but those who vote sooner get more.

[fkh]

I vote yes.

[eglenn]

Living proof that this incentive strategy will work! Get in now,
while the points are high!

I also vote yes.

I do wonder about the impact on legitimate debate around proposals, but we can introduce remedies in the future to deal with this if the problem arises.

I also wonder about vacations, like the one @andycochran is on right now.

[eglenn]

As for vacations, I suppose (1) with advance notice, the upcoming rule
proposer could just hold off on proposing -- there is no penalty for
untimely rule proposals; (2) a player could store up points in
preparation for a vacation; and/or (3) we could decide that a vacation
is actually a more appropriate time to be playing a game, and it's
actually the folks who are at work who need extra time....

[andycochran]

Yes. (Vacation is the time for games.)

[fkh]

What does @bensteinberg think?

[bensteinberg]

Ha! Timeliness. I was on vacation, and even pushing code to github, and somehow missed all this. I vote yes.
