[s-b] Proposal: hard rules

["Andy Jones" <shadowfirebird@xxxxxxxxx>]

Proposal: "Hard rules"

1) Change rule 2-2 to replace this paragraph:
{{When a Proposal becomes Historical, if there exist more players
whose Final Vote on that proposal was FOR than there exist players
whose Final Vote on that proposal was AGAINST, the Proposal Passes.}}
with:
{{When a proposal becomes historical, the votes are tallied and the
proposal either passes or fails, according to the votes cast.}}

2) Add a new rule titled "hard/soft":
{{Two types of rules exist: hard and soft.

Proposals changing or removing hard rules only pass if more than 80%
of the votes available are cast as FOR.

All other proposals pass if more than 50% of the votes available are
cast as FOR.

A proposal is treated as "changing or removing hard rules" if, without
further vote by the players, it would cause a hard rule to be changed
or removed.

If this rule conflicts with another rule or rules, the other
conflicting rules are ignored.

[[I'm sure this could be circumvented.  But if players would like
certain rules to be more difficult (but not impossible) to change,
this is the mechanism.]]
}}

3) Make the rule in (2) a hard rule.
