Proposal Type: Bylaw Revision
Opened: 22-Sep-2015 12:55AM EDT
Closing: 29-Sep-2015 12:55AM EDT
Good Morning,
In an effort to streamline character play I hereby propose the following changes to the R&U Bylaws.
Latest Revision: https://goo.gl/oHb2kc
The revision is as follows:
1. Items outside of the Disallowed category have moved to Coordinator Approval instead of 2/3 Vote or Majority Vote.
2. If a Coordinator doesn't respond with an approval or denial within a certain time frame it will move to an AutoPass vote for Council to review.
3. If a Coordinator requires more information from a Staff, it stays open. However that time frame keeps coming back when the answers are in their hands.
4. There's no change to the Disciplinary Action procedures.
5. A CM may still propose an exception to a Coordinator's Answer. Note - This is something CMs can do today, it's just now outlined in the proposal.
6. The words 'blood magic' have not been touched or referenced.

| Chronicle/Position | Voted for | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| New York City, NY - USA, Kings of New York | Against | I like the idea of it...but who approves what needs to clarified. Otherwise it will be kinda chaos... |
| Campinas, SP - Brazil, Império das Cinzas | Against | |
| São Paulo, SP - Brazil, São Paulo by Night | For | |
| Rockland, NY - USA, Under The Rock | Against | |
| Saint Paul, MN - USA, Obsidian Towers | Against | Like the idea, but it seems like it doesn't do much to actually reduce bureaucracy. |
| Mt. Dora, FL - USA, Mutual Alliance | Against | |
| La Crosse, WI - USA, The Rivers Edge | Against | |
| Cape Cod, MA - USA, Rage Across the Cape | Against | |
| Berkeley, CA - USA, Wasting the Dawn | Against | I like the spirit of this, but I agree with statements of others. There are a few wrinkles that need to be worked out. |
| Martinsburg, WV - USA, Martinsburg by Night | Against | |
| Tampa, FL - USA, Tampa Bay by Night | Against | Although I agree with the spirit of what this is trying to do, it actually creates much more clutter. The better way to have done this is to propose the items moving from category to category and simply reduce the amount of categories in total. |
| Evansville, IN - USA, Paradise Lost | Abstain | |
| Cedar Rapids, IA - USA, Five Nights | For | |
| João Pessoa, PB - Brazil, Eternal Shadows | Against | As Springfield Comment |
| Sacramento, CA - USA, Sacramento By Night | Against | |
| Chicago, IL - USA, Dark Requiem | For | |
| Indianapolis, IN - USA, Stars Never Rise | Against | While I am for the idea of this, there needs to be more clarification as to who does what - so there is less chaos once it is in play. I'm all for it, but have to vote against this version. Let's try another more clearly delineated version. |
| Auburn, CA - USA, Lux Tenebras | For | |
| Cedar Falls, IA - USA, Blackhawk Co. by Night | Against | |
| Norwalk, CT - USA, Rails of Revolution | For | |
| San Francisco, CA - USA, Always Comes Evening | Against | Super against disciplinary action for coordinators not responding. Yeah, they should respond when they can, but real life happens. |
| Providence, RI - USA, Hidden Flame | For | You know what? Why not. People say the R&U is a big turn off to players, fine. Let's simplify it like this. I'm fairly sure that everything is already outlined in the bylaws (Vampire items, Mage items, Garou items, which coords manage bloodlines, etc). |
| Atlanta, GA - USA, Whispers of Atlanta | Against | |
| Fargo, ND - USA, Within Shadow's Reach | Against | |
| Allentown, PA - USA, Steel Valley by Night | Against | Echo Springfield |
| Cincinnati, OH - USA, Shadows of Cincinnati | Against | |
| Lancaster, OH - USA, Never Ending Nights | Against | |
| Cleveland, OH - USA, Heartland Alliance | For | Putting the power in the hands of the elected coordinators so they can better regulate their genre and be gatekeepers for storytellers is a good step towards enforcing the communication between chronicles and supportive staff. |
| Columbus, OH - USA, Columbus in Darkness | For | |
| Ouro Preto, MG - Brazil, Dying of the Light | Against | |
| Lewiston/Auburn, ME - USA, Shadows and Light | Against | |
| Lexington, KY - USA, Panders Playground | Against | |
| Springfield, IL - USA, Capitol City Cauldron | Against | While deregulation is a good direction, this isn't quite right either. Needs more thought and clarity put into it. |
| Washington, DC - USA, Shadows on the Mall | Abstain | |
| Kenosha, WI - USA, Memento Mori | Against | |
| Boston, MA - USA, Reclaimed | Against | |
| Green Bay, WI - USA, Shattered Dreams | Against | |
| New Orleans, LA - USA, Long Night | Against | |
| Bridgewater, MA - USA, Into The Darkness: Sabbat | For | |
| Athens, GA - USA, Athens After Dark | Against | Something need more then one set of eyes This comment has been revised 1 time. Click here to see revision history Version 2 dated: Sep 22 2015, 3:45pm EDT Something need more then one set of eyes |
| Natal, RN - Brazil, Legacy of Blood | Abstain | |
| Gimli, MB - Canada, Sang Nordique | Against | Some R&U needs to be a Council based decision, to prevent potential poor decision making. If this passes, a coordinator can approve the use and abuse of Named Unique characters, without Council being aware of it. Resurrections are now very confusing and contradictory. PC Supernatural to Wraith is now Coordinator Approval. Vampirism can also be cured with Coordinator approval. Don't vote for this. Some things are best discussed and voted on, not left up to a single person that may make a poor snap decision. |
| Iowa City, IA - USA, L'Ange Noir | Against | |
| St. Augustine, FL - USA, On Haunted Ground | Against | |
| Annapolis, MD - USA, Vitae Aeternus | Against | |
| Bradenton, FL - USA, Chaos & Entropy | Abstain | |
| Edwardsville, IL - USA, Caught in Eternal Twilight | Against | Let's get it perfect the first time! Good work! Keep working. |
| Phoenix, AZ - USA, Unchained Arizona | Against | |
| Chicago, IL - USA, New Moon Rising | Against | while change is something that is needed. CNMR does not wish to enhance the popularity contest. |
| Lakeland, FL - USA, Lagos de los Muertos | For | We are always complaining about how much bureaubureau we have. Well here's the chance to actually do something about it.

| Worcester County, MA - USA, Quabbin | Against | While this is a good effort, the changes are overly broad - items like Named Unique characters and resurrections should still remain a vote. Otherwise, I would be firmly in favor of this. |
| Pernambuco, PE - Brazil, Pernambuco Imortal, The Land of Chaos | For | |
| New Rochelle, NY - USA, Seasons of Strange | For | |
| Nashville, IN - USA, Tea With Dragons | Against |
