REFUSED. Trivially true, long since fixed, and I dislike using CFIs for  
that sort of thing. If it's a question about ruleset interpretation,  
CFI it; if you just want to point out an error Eugene or I made, then  
you can just tell me.

AGAINST. A proposal is a list of changes to the gamestate, but nothing  
prohibits an empty list. Plagarism, nonsense, and a lack of references  
to game objects are also not grounds for disqualification.
