Demi-Pharaoh

Angelio: /* Final Rounds: */

== Sign Up ==
Demi-Pharaoh election periods are announced via the Calendar, approximately once a month. Players may sign up during the specified time (generally 48 hours) at a Voting Booth.
* Players may also sign up to be enrolled in upcoming elections automatically.
* Players may also withdraw from an election (or all upcoming elections) at the booth.

== Election Process ==
The election is a multi-step process.

# All players who are signed up at the end of the sign up period are split into small groups of seven or fewer.
# For each round, group members share a chat channel for several days. This allows for discussion and decision making between those in the group.
#* Each participant may vote for one of the members of their group at a Voting Booth.
#* At the end of the round, the player with the most votes from the group advances. If there is a tie, no player advances.
# This process continues until seven or fewer candidates remain.
# An Egypt-wide election is then held in which all citizens may participate.
# The candidate who receives the most votes in this election becomes a Demi-Pharaoh.

== Powers ==
Each Demi-Pharaoh gains the ability to permanently ban up to seven people (characters, not players) from Egypt.

* The ban applies to the character, not to the player. A player whose character is banned is free to create a new character.
* Demi-Pharaohs may not use their power to ban each other.
* At the moment, a Demi-Pharaoh must click on a person to ban them. This physical limitation is not intended to be a restriction on the ban power: if a Demi-Pharaoh requests that someone be banned, it will happen.
* The spouse of a Demi-Pharoah does not have access to the ban stick, if they log into the DP avi using spouse log. They do, however, have access if they know the DP's password, and are able to log in directly as them.

== Term ==
*Demi-Pharaohs are elected for life. There is no way to remove a Demi-Pharaoh from office once elected.
*A Demi-Pharaoh may be banned through the legal system using [[law]]'s.
*The legal system may not be used to limit the powers of a Demi-Pharaoh or interfere with the election process, however it may be used to extend powers.

==Final Rounds:==

* Kiya (alone)
