spoon-business: Yet more proposals

Title: Yet more proposals
<proposal>
<title> Just to avoid confusion.... </title>
<body>
Amend rule 33 to add the following **** delimited text:
****
If a rule states that it takes precedence over another rule, it does. If a rule states that it defers to another rule, it does. If two rules try to take precedence over each other or defer to each other, then the one with the lowest identification number shall take precedence.
****
</body>
<rationale>
Technically, we have a paradox, or maybe an ambiguity, right now, because rule 33 states that higher numbered rules take precedence over lower numbered rules, but rule 10 states that it takes precedence over all other rules. The problem is that if 10 take precedence over 33, everything's fine, and if 33 takes precedence over 10, everythings fine, but there's no way to figure out which is the case. This ambiguity doesn't make much difference here, but it could concievably cause problems with other rules in the future. This proposal should fix that.
</rationale>
</proposal>

<proposal>
<title> Charmed, I'm sure </title>
<body>
Amend rule 154 to replace the last paragraph with the following the following **** delimited text:
****

Whenever a proposal passes, the proposal's proponent's charm shall increase by one.
Whenever a proposal fails, the proposal's proponent's charm shall decrease by one.

****
</body>
<rationale>
This way charm can be increased/decreased by other rules as well as this one.
