spoon-business: A Hungrier PIG


I amend my proposal to be:

{{
__Fixing the PEG__
Change rule 261 to be:
{{
__The PIG__

There is a Gremlin named the "Proposal Ingesting Gremlin", or PIG.

If the PIG is Active at the beginning of the 9th day of each nweek, it eats
the kth proposal on the ballot, when the proposals on the ballot are in
order of identification number, where k is equal to the nth Gremlin number,
where n is the number of proposals on the ballot. If this proposal contains
fewer than 30 words, then after eating it the PIG eats the kth proposal
again, where k is equal to the nth Gremlin number and n is the new number of
proposals on the ballot.

Any proposal which is eaten by the PIG is immediately removed from the
ballot and has no effect.

If a Ballot is issued with fewer than 12 proposals on it, the PIG goes into
Hiding. At the beginning of each nweek, the PIG becomes Active.
}}
}}

Rationale:
    Per Glotmorf's suggestion, the PIG now eats an extra proposal if the
first one was too small. I also fixed it so the kth proposal is picked
assuming the proposals are in order by number, because under the old way the
Admin could kill any proposal simply by sending the ballot out of order.
