In that case it sounds like no change in policy is needed in the first place.

I do not believe you can divine motivation from behaviour, and I think it is really unwise to try.

I do not believe you can force voters to make their choices based on the criteria you deem acceptable, and I think it is really unwise to try.

    This was meant to codify policy, not change it.

      However, the root node does suggest changes in policy. "Any violation of this policy will result in a suspension of your voting privileges" is not what is stated in All your Votebots are belong to us or History now influences voting.

      It might be easiest to simply reference the three "References" in the root node, perhaps with a summay of each?

        The problem we have to work with is that the Elder Gods didn't write down what their criteria were for specific actions; we only know from the Historical Documents that they took certain actions in certain cases. I personally would, if anything, be less heavy-handed than they appear to have been. So to the extent that they were operating by some sort of unwritten "policy", this attempts to correct that.
