Nah. If anything she'd get magic to let her BS her way through bureaucracy more effectively, but she's pretty good at that to begin with...

Anyway, it doesn't look like there's a lot of discussion about "policy" issues, so should I interpret that as an indication that I should stick with Hatter's vote and cut it short when necessary? DarkLight140's suggestions can still be used in the next vote, if so.

I'd say write up to that point, check in on the thread, then either post the update or continue writing depending on thread response?

Maybe you should interpret is as everyone believing my suggestions are free of blemish or flaw and just use them now @SystemicHatter, any objections to stapling my suggestions into your vote so that we can save ourselves another round of debate? Or opinions for revising them, in which case we can debate now?

Hey, I am pushing for us to consciously and explicitly build an empire. Which means we'll be needing a constitution. :V

aaaand my brain ran away from me. ham overload. requesting activation of reserve eggs and toast.

WHEREAS THE FIGHT AGAINST WITCHES IS critical to the survival of civilization;
WHEREAS GRIEF SEEDS ARE A SCARCE RESOURCE that must be efficiently allocated so as to prevent tragedy;
WHEREAS FIGHTING OVER GRIEF SEEDS is a classic game theoretic race to the bottom;
WHEREAS MAGICAL GIRLS MUST THEREFORE form a social contract to establish a fair and just government;

I, YUI THE FIRST, DO DECLARE MYSELF TO BE RIGHTFUL EMPRESS OF ALL NAGAMIOKA
May I reign forever in the name of Love and Justice

That's not a constitution, that's a non-binding legislative resolution.

All else equal I'm fine with cutting the update short, by the way. I just wanted to make sure it's clear that everything after "Talk to Rio & co." isn't going to happen in the next update.

@redzonejoe has made a stapled vote. They all seem reasonable. I mean, I want to have a firmer control over Witch hunts (organised groups, Witch threat assessment, organised Witch tracking), but the finer details can wait a bit.

@ravenwood7040 @FelOnyx @UbeOne @Muramasa @Crimson Doom @Nervos Belli @Unitveras

I am switching over to @redzonejoe's vote. It's basically the same, but with @DarkLight140's 'policy document' stapled on. Reposting the vote without X's here:

[] "I can't really blame you for feeling that way. You can't help anyone if you're dead."
-[] "I made my wish knowing I'd be risking my life, and knowing that the person before me had failed and been killed for it. I came into this conflict with a goal, and to reach it I wished for power. So I wouldn't be too weak to do what I needed to do. So I wouldn't just end up dead like Kisaragi Momoko did."
-[] "I want to talk to you in private with my 'mysterious ally' in a bit. If you still want to leave after hearing me out, that's okay. Just remember you're always welcome in Nagamioka."
-[] "Er... just let me deal with everything else first."

[] Explain what your expectations are to Rio, Fuuka, and Kiyomi.
-[] They need to meet with you regularly, both to exchange news and so that you get to know them better. Converse via telepathy (or phone, if they like phones) at least daily and in-person meetings at least three times a week. Make sure to bring up any disputes, problems, or concerns they're having when you talk to them, and you'll deal with it. You will make an effort to introduce them to everyone else who lives around here during said meetings.
-[] The only actual hunting territory assigned in greater Nagamioka is Chou's, and that mostly because she's paranoid and touchy. (Be nice to Chou.) They're free to go and hunt anywhere aside from that, but after they've settled on a place to live should let you know where it is and meet with you to discuss witch distribution and patrol routes so that you can optimize across the city. Those are likely to gradually change as you get more girls.
-[] If anyone allied with you needs help, help them out. This includes both witch hunts and if they're attacked or something, or if they have a personal problem and need someone to cover for them, whatever. They can expect other girls to provide them with this same kind of assistance, within reason. Long-term arrangements for hunting partners, living together, sustained lies to parents, etc. will need to be arranged on a case by case basis. Grief seed shortages/requests on anyone's part need to be brought to your attention.
-[] If they locate new-contracted girls or solo immigrants, be friendly if possible and bring them to your attention. Your current group policy is to recruit everyone who contracts within the Nagamioka area and any incoming girls who haven't completely lost it with a mix of empathy, logic, and gradual social efforts. No strong-arming.
-[] If they run into incoming groups, you would like to be at the forefront of diplomacy but you'll trust their judgement as our representatives in carrying out your greater policies, within reason. Nagamioka is yours, but don't get killed over border skirmishes; you can always marshaleveryone and show up as a hammer later if they run away.
-[] Most importantly, they are expected to support your overall goals of (1) protecting people, particularly people in Nagamioka and (2) being a good person, or at least not being mean. If at any point they are in doubt, act based upon those two qualities, and talk to you about it later.

[] Help Maiko move the bodies. Oh god that's gross.
-[] Figure out what to do about Kaede's dog. We can't just let it go wild, and we should probably do something more than just dropping it off at the local pound.

[] Time to arrange a meeting for team Yui.
-[] Asami might be busy, so talk to Minami and Maiko over at HQ
[] Topics for discussion: Yumi, Naoko and Kaede, other junk

Okay, so I'm going to leave votes open a while longer until I have time to start writing, though it looks like things are probably settled at this point.

Just realized I should actually vote, instead of only telling other people to vote differently. That was silly.
