(Do we officially have a sitting M:EMperor?)
Barinellos is the current M:EMperor. Yxoque took the reins shorty after we moved over to NGA, and then Barinellos took power back in a bloodless,
cooky coup in March of 2014.
Those are almost never as fun as the other kind.
Sorry it's been a bit since I've weighed in. I've had stuff going on that I won't get into here.
Longer works probably should have a lower quorum to time threshold as the vote wears on. My proposal is essentially that if nobody objects to it after a certain time, even a single vote should be enough to pass it. The reason for my position is logical, under the idea that the reasons we do this in the first place are for things to be experienced. As long as nobody stands in the way of it, the work has been approved of by an audience, fulfilling what it set out to do.
The flipside to that is that if anybody doesn't approve... well, indefinite extensions might be preferable to outright rejection.
