[s-b] Proposal: Avoid a Clusterf**k

["Jamie Dallaire" <bad.leprechaun@xxxxxxxxx>]

I submit the following proposal:

{
In Rule 4E36, after the sentence:
{{
Each rule number shall be prefixed with the notation "4E" (for Fourth Era)
to distinguish it from past rules in previous eras of B Nomic.
}}
add the sentence:
{{
Where a Rule, Proposal, Game Action, or other Game Document refers to a Rule
by its number without a prefix, it shall be taken, by default, to refer to a
Rule prefixed with the notation "4E". [[For example, one can say "Rule 15"
to refer to Rule 4E15]]
}}

Upon adoption of this proposal, the retroactive Passing of all Passed
Proposals for this Voting Period is simulated with the above Rule change in
place, such that any Passed Proposals that modify or repeal Rules referred
to without a prefix do, in fact, modify or repeal their intended targets.
For example, Proposal 260, which aims to amend Rule 4E41, amends (if Passed)
Rule 4E41 rather than attempting to amend the now non-existent Rule 41.

[[speaking of Proposal 260...]]

If Proposal 260 Passes, the text"3-13" or "41", in Rule 4E41, is replaced by
the text "4E41".
}
