This is to continue moving toward an accepted activity clause. Please vote yes or no.
The edited section, those different from the first proposal, have been color coded. Indicate which edit you prefer concerning those sections with your vote...
~Note: typos were corrected and ambiguous language clarified without calling for a vote upon those edits. Content/intent was not altered.
~Note on cool Down Period: This is being added as part of the activity clause due to my failure to include it in the first proposal. Please indicate a yes or no for the cool down period in your new vote below. If you vote no to the cool down period provide your suggestion after an indication of 'No'.

EX: Yes, with edit#2, #3, and #6, or no to all. No to cool down period = I suggest 2 days.

• Participants must commit to activity.
• Hosts must make an RP post in public once every 14 days while not engaged in an active challenge.
• Hosts who do not make an RP post, while not engaged in an active challenge, once every 14 days will have their bijuu stripped by the council.
  
• During a match, hosts and challengers must make a post to the RP once every 7 days.
• A Host or Challenger who fails to make a post to the RP match once every 7 days, without posting a notice of absence to the forum host thread in question, will forfeit the match. During this forfeit, the bijuu will either remain with the host, in the event of challenger inactivity, or be transferred to the challenger, in the event of host inactivity.
• New Item: Cool down periods are an optional break from back to back fighting in order to permit the host to heal and train with his beast. As such, a cool down period can only be announced after the successful conclusion of a match, and is not intended to serve as a general leave of absence. Should a host opt to take a cool down period, this may last no more than 7 days and must be announced with dates of duration to the host's forum thread for each beast that player may host. A cool down period from one beast a player hosts cannot be applied as a cool down period for all beasts under his control but must be bijuu/character specific.

[Edit #1]

• The purpose of making a notification of absence post is to permit life to happen without wrecking your participation in the bijuu activity. [Edit #1]

(OR)

[Edit #2]

• The purpose of making a notification of absence post is to permit life to happen without wrecking your participation in the bijuu activity, while making it clear that there will be punishments for those who abuse this leave of absence, like forfeit of match, loss of biju, and bans pending a review by the council. [Edit #2]

• Consider before becoming involved in bijuu activity if your life will permit such a rigid time commitment before entering into this timed RP role. This will greatly reduce potential conflicts for the community.

[edit #3] Extenuating circumstances during the 'idle phase' of a host:
Most events occur so as to permit making a post at some time during your 14 days to alert the community that 'something' is going on. Your leave of absence notice will reset the clock to a 14 day absence max. Should you need more time than that...which adds up to possibly a whole month if your notice occurs on day 14...then it is requested you step down as a host and try again later when your life will permit participation again. You will not be banned from challenging someone for another bijuu. But the SL community will be permitted to move on. The council will handle requests for concessions on a case by case basis and their decision will be binding.[edit #3]
(OR)
[edit#4] Extenuating circumstances during the 'idle phase' of a host:
Most events occur so as to permit making a post at some time during your 14 days to alert the community that 'something' is going on. Your leave of absence notice will reset the clock to a 14 day absence max.

You will not be banned from challenging someone for another bijuu. But the SL community will be permitted to move on. The council will handle requests for concessions on a case by case basis and their decision will be binding.[edit#4]

[Edit #5] Extenuating circumstances during an active match: Here the activity clause is 7 days, in order to keep the fight moving along to a conclusion. Posting for a leave of absence is essential to holding your slot in the match. Should this not be possible, the council will determine how to handle the situation at the time of your return upon request dependent upon a challenger waiting list, if the beast has already been transferred, or how it impacts current RP. All decisions of the council will be binding.[Edit #5]
(OR)
[Edit #6] Extenuating circumstances during an active match: Here the activity clause is 14 days, in order to keep the fight moving along to a conclusion. Posting for a leave of absence is essential to holding your slot in the match. Should this not be possible, the council will determine how to handle the situation at the time of your return upon request dependent upon a challenger waiting list, if the beast has already been transferred, or how it impacts current RP. All decisions of the council will be binding.[Edit #6]

please hold for addition of a cool down period between matches. This requires looking that up from the old rules.

[KayentaMoenkopi]

Ok. This is what I propose for a cool down period as I Could not find the old rule. Please include this new item in your vote.

New Item: Cool down periods are an optional break from back to back fighting in order to permit the host to heal and train with his beast. As such, a cool down period can only be announced after the successful conclusion of a match, and is not intended to serve as a general leave of absence. Should a host opt to take a cool down period, this may last no more than 7 days and must be announced with dates of duration to the host's forum thread for each beast that player may host. A cool down period from one beast a player hosts cannot be applied as a cool down period for all beasts under his control but must be bijuu/character specific.

[KayentaMoenkopi]

4 days without one vote. After one week should i just assume that the original edits are in or what?

[Bocchiere]

I've read it several times and am still confused as to what I'm voting on. I've also been sick but I think that might be more my issue than anyone else's.

[KayentaMoenkopi]

ok. in the old thread, most everything was approved. Those items are included here with no option to vote on those sections, in order for people to view the entire rule in one place. There are 3 sections that need voting due to objections to those clauses that were raised.
AND a new section was added about cool down periods, which makes it 4 items total to vote upon.

SO...

Hosts who do not make an RP post, while not engaged in an active challenge, once every 14 days will have their bijuu stripped by the council.

No vote is required on this clause because no content was changed, ambiguous language was corrected and a typo fixed.
