The purpose of the Ballot Implementation Difficulty Act is to give Pharaoh a method to control how much work is generated by a ballot, as well as allow for more trivial laws to be passed without fear or generating too much implementation work.
When a petition is reviewed by Pharaoh for an upcoming ballot it shall be classified into one of three groups depending on its estimated implementation difficulty:
Trivial – Petitions that take nearly no time to implement, such as the removal of building or the banning of a player. Simply – Petitions that requite slight structural changes to the system, but can be accomplished without to much difficulty or time. Complex – Petitions that require significant changes to be fulfilled, with the cost of much time and effort to implement.
When a ballot is released to the people of Egypt, each difficulty categories will have its own separate voting block. The complex block shall have the top 3 complex petitions passed to it. The simple block shall have the top 4 simple petitions passed to it. The trivial block shall have the top 5 trivial petitions passed to it. Each block shall also have a number of pass-slots associated with it. The passing of a law shall remain the same, with the exception that instead of being the top petition in the voting block, a petition must be within the top pass-slots spaces to pass.
If the pharaoh decided to give a category 0 pass slots for a given ballot, no laws of its type will show up on the ballot.
Example: Pharaoh reviews the currently laws with the must number of signatures then classifies them into three different categories… 10 trivial, 15 simple, and 7 complex. He then releases a ballot of the top 5 trivial petitions, the top 4 simple, and the top 3 complex, each into its own voting block. For this ballot Pharaoh decides to allow for 3 trivial, 2 simple, and 1 complex law to pass. Voting will then commence. If the top x number of laws in each category, with x being the number of pass-slots allowed to that category, meet all other passing requirements, the law passes and will be implemented as the pharaoh wishes.
