Oh, man, this is a riot! But I think I may be on to what Wonko is saying.

I think he is indicating that the when the Administrator recorded Proposal 
250/0, he made the text of the proposed rule the proposal, leaving out the 
phrase "I propose a new rule with the following text:" from my email. Here 
is the text of my email that resulted in proposal 250/0, delimited by *****:

*****
Since I still have one proposal left for nweek3 (using the zero-based 
calculation of the Clock), I propose a new rule with the following text:

{{
_The Immunity Idol_

There shall exist an object called the Immunity Idol.

The Player who holds the Immunity Idol is immune to any effect generated by 
Gremlins. No rule may create a Gremlin that can circumvent the Immunity 
Idol's protection.

At the beginning of an nweek, the Immunity Idol is awarded to the Player 
who scored the most points in the previous nweek. [[For example, at 
00:00:00 on nday 0 of nweek 7, the Immunity Idol would be awarded to the 
player who scored the most points in nweek 6. This example assumes a 
zero-based Clock.]]

In the event a group of Players are tied for scoring the most points in the 
previous nweek, the Immunity Idol is awarded to the Player in that group 
who has the most total points. In the event a group of Players are tied for 
scoring the most points in the previous nweek *and* there are two or more 
Players in that group that are also tied for the most total points in that 
group, then the Immunity Idol shall Speak, saying "Hell with that," and is 
awarded to the Player who joined the game most recently.

The Immunity Idol may not be transferred to another Player except by means 
explictly prescribed by the rules.
}}

What the Administrator did was simply post the title and text of the 
proposed rule as the title and text of the proposal itself....which is not 
the way the Administrator posted the title and text of other proposals, 
c.f. Proposal 265/0.

Wonko, if I'm correct about interpreting your Sushified text, you may 
respond with "Napoleon" to indicate agreement. If I'm not on the right 
track, a response of "Darth Vader" will indicate I have (understandably) 
misunderstood you. ;-)

Mr. Administrator, is there a reason the standard procedure wasn't followed 
on 250/0? In any event, please amend  250 to reflect the following ARMYSONG 
delimited text:

Create a new rule with the following text:

I will also copy that request to Nomic-Business.
