Settlement Scripts: Polls
Posted: Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:25 pm
Polls are similar to elections, but with the difference that settlement officials can hold them at any time, and the result of the polls will not bring about any scripted change.
Basically, a settlement leader(or one given the power) can speak to the registrar and initiate a poll for the citizenry to vote on. The official will input the parameters of the poll when they initiate it.
for example:
The registrar will keep a record of all poll results for up to a (game)year. Once a poll result has been on the record for one year, it will drop off the list.
Settlement Powers to add for this suggestion:
Start Poll
Stop Poll
See Poll Results(this power may not be necessary. it may be a better option to just make the poll results viewable by any citizen)
