  • Quorum on votes requires half of all active players.
  • Votes require two-thirds (2/3) to pass.

This is also impacted by rule105 that requires every eligible voter to vote on each rule-change. A proposal to make that rule mutable, then deprecated by this, seems required.

Since rule 105 is mutable now, this should deprecate that.

rule302.md Outdated

# Rule

Quorum is half of all active, registered [Players](https://github.com/mburns/nomic/wiki/Player). Active is defined as having voting or joined within the last year.

What if Active is defined has having the Player's fork having been updated in the past year. This would mean that they would have had to sync their fork of the main repo to update it recently, but not necessarily have voted.

I think this especially makes sense if quorum is being dropped from 100% to 2/3.

This changes the required amount of participation in any given vote from 100% (everyone) to 'more than half' (50%+1)
