spoon-business: Omnibus Proposal


The following Proposal makes a few changes to a disparate group of Rules. 
Comments are included to indicate the clauses' effects.

\begin{proposal}
\title{Omnibus Proposal}

1. Strike the final two paragraphs of R121/3. 

[[These conflict with our other Banking rules.]]

2. Amend R303 to read as follows:

"Motions to Amend Trivially are Secondary Approvable Motions which may be 
made only by Players, are adoptable only through two-day unanimous consent, 
and fail if it is not granted. A Motion to Amend Trivially, when submitted, 
must consist of one potential Legislative Order that would unsubstantially 
amend a Rule if adopted. Motions to Amend Trivially may never become issues 
on a Ballot.

The Legislative Order corresponding to an adopted Motion to Amend Trivially 
directs the Administrator to make appropriate changes to the Rules."

3. Amend the first sentence of R117 to read:

"Proposals are Primary Approvable Motions which are not subject to 
unanimous consent, and may be made only by Players."

[[These are the provisions of my prior "Only Players May Change the Rules" 
Proposal.]]

4. Retitle R346 to "Motion Dependency" and amend it to read as follows:

"The owner of an Approvable Motion may specify a condition for its adoption 
in addition to the standard conditions required by the Rules.

Whenever an Approvable Motion would be adopted in the absence of a 
condition added by its owner, and it is no longer possible for that 
condition to be met, the Motion fails by dependence.

No scoring may occur due to failure by dependence."

5. Amend the first sentence of R229 to read:

"An Approvable Motion is adopted iff it is subject to and receives consent 
or at the close of voting on it its passage ratio exceeds one-half, and all 
other adoption conditions applying to it are met."

And add as the last sentence of the first paragraph:

"An Approvable Motion fails when its adoption becomes impossible."

[[These are the provisions of my prior "Proposal Dependency" Proposal. The 
current Prop Dependency Rule is horribly broken.]]

\end{proposal}
