Well, this same sort of thing happened in Berserker twice, both times in 
the same voting period. Three Proposals contained the provision that anyone 
voting against them would be fined 10 points, and another would award 1000 
points to, IIRC, Josh, Jeff, and Tom. Few people were voting right then, 
and though I assumed that the 1000-point Proposal would pass, I wasn't 
worried, since in needed only twentysome more points to get a win anyway. 
As it turned out, I stupidly voted against all three of the 10-point 
proposals and they passed. So I missed getting a win by fewer than 5 
points, and then my score was reset! Anyway, this experience made me an 
opponent of such Proposals, though, oddly, more likely to vote for them.

That said, what should we do about it?
