Re: [s-d] Eligibility for Legislator of the Nweek

I'm going to lean with 1 since your proposals were made by a boring guy who is now a senator. If you change it to "made by players who are Senators" the use of present is explicit and I'd fully agree intepretation would work. Of course tracking what class you made a certain prop in might be a pain to track.
