[Spoon-business] insta-props

["Orc In A Spacesuit" <orcinaspacesuit@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had this idea for a long time, well before the takeover, but never got 
around to it.  Pretty much I'm saying people can make insta props, and once 
enough people say yes, they immidiatly takes effect.

I propose the following:
{{__Immidiate fixes__
Create the following rule:
{{__Insta-props__{*(insta-prop), 3*}
An insta-prop is a formal request for a set of rule changes or other changes 
to the game state.
All insta-props have a Name and one of the 4 following attributes: Pending, 
Approved, Denied, and Retracted.
A player may create an insta-prop, only if e has no Pending insta-props.  
When an insta-prop is created, it has the attribute Pending.
Pending Insta-props may be revised or retracted by their original author.  
When an insta-prop is retracted, it ceases to be Pending and gains the 
attribute Retracted.
All players, and the administrator, may Approve or Deny any Pending 
insta-prop at any time, even if the player is On Leave.  When a player or 
the administrator Approves an insta-prop, e becomes Approving of the 
insta-prop; when e Denies an insta-prop, e ceases to be Approving of the 
insta-prop.  If an insta-prop is revised, all players and the administrator 
cease to be Approving of the insta-prop.  [[You gotta get everyone to 
approve the new version.]]
If one-half of all players are Approving of an insta-prop, or one-half all 
players not on Forced Leave and the Administrator are Approving of the 
insta-prop, the insta-prop gains the attribute Approved and loses the 
attribute Pending.
When an insta-prop becomes Approved, all changes to the rules and other 
parts of the game state in the insta-prop take effect, in the the order they 
appear in the insta prop, and all players and the administator cease to be 
Approving of the insta-prop.
If an insta-prop has not been revised for 10 ndays, and no player or the 
administrator became Approving of that insta-prop during that time, it 
becomes Denied.
}}

Create the following rule:
{{__Bar__{*1001*}
Rule 1229 may be changed by this rule. This rule takes precedence over Rule 
1229.  Immidiatly after the creation of this rule, Rule 1229 is repealed, 
then this rule is repealed.
}}
}}

As usual, comments welcome.  The only good thing about The Overlord is that 
it will allow fixes to the gamestate; this lets them happen faster when 
needed, and requires even more approval than a normal proposal, and so is 
much more balanced.
