I propose to make official the following:

In the event that a Roleplay is running strongly, and ceases due to the inactivity of the Game Master, any active participant in that RP may, call for a commandeering. The time required to pass prior to this is:

1) 2 days from the last post of the Game Master if he/she is active

2) 3 days if the Game Master has been inactive from the wiki as a whole

3) 5 days if the Game Master has requested an extension

Once an RP thread has been commandeered, the respective Game Master may choose to hand over control to any individual on the wiki. If the Game Master does not hand over control, there must be a vote by the active participants of said RP to determine if the RP should continue. This vote lasts 48 hours (the vote will be cut short of a majority is already achieved) and is a simple 51/49 majority. In the case that the Game Master objects to his/her RP being commandeered, he/she may call for an increase to a 3/4 majority vote.

Once a majority has been reached in favor of keeping the RP running, the Game Master has one final chance to appoint a new GM, if not, another vote shall ensue to determine to new GM. Only participants of said RP may qualify for election.

In any case, the former GM may request to take back control. Should the GM have been absent the entire time of the commandeering process, his/her request must be fulfilled immediately. In other cases, the new GM may hand over control. If not, then a simple 51/49 majority vote over who shall take or remain in control shall ensue.
