If it's 5 to 5, the proposition passes. Assuming that Grundle and B'hemet are in fact deceased (and have been throughout the voting period) we've still got a contest. Otherwise, we'll all just continue munching mortals in private. Kir'Doq of T'ien Ch'i could still kill it with a nay vote, though.

5 to 5 shouldn't pass - it doesn't have the slightest illusion of a majority. Imagine you and I are playing a game of chess, and I say, "Hey! I propose that knights should be able to move like rooks!"
You say "Hell no!", I say, "Yes!" - same proportion of voting as 5 to 5.

Seems to call for some sort of quorum requirement.
