Upon passage of this bill, the text of said section of the Constitution will be changed to read as follows:

C. Dereliction

i. Property that has shown no signs of improvement in at least 7 days shall be considered eligible for dereliction.

ii. Those seeking ownership of a derelict plot will:

1. Place a sign at the property with their in-game name, the current date, and the word “Dereliction”.

2. Make a post on the subreddit /r/mtaugusta declaring intention of dereliction. The post must contain [Dereliction] in the title, and a link to at least one screenshot of the plot, showing relevant structures, the dereliction sign, and the coordinates of said plot.

iii. For 7 days after the initial [Dereliction] post is made, any participant in Mount Augustan affairs as defined by Article I, Section A, Part iii, subpart a, may object to the dereliction by commenting on the post stating their objection, and their reason for it.

iv. If the initiator of a dereliction believes a specific objection to be frivolous or unjustifiable, the objection may be contested and subjected to review by the judges and the Lord Mayor of Mount Augusta, who will vote on whether to sustain or overrule said objection, with a majority vote deciding the outcome. Should there be a tie due to an uneven number of sitting judges, the vote of the mayor will count as the tiebreaker.

v. Objections by the owner of the property undergoing dereliction cannot be overruled.

vi. If there is no legitimate objection within the 7 day waiting period, the derelict plot, along with the structures and items within it, shall become the property of the initiating individual.

vii. If a property owner will have an extended absence from Civcraft and/or reddit, the posting of a sign or a post to /r/mtaugusta will exempt their property from dereliction for a period of 3 months.
