My apologies, I am in error. There is no need for the PIG to be... done away
with. The Pig eats the kth proposal, where k is the nth Gremlin number,
where n is the number of proposals on the ballot. There are 30 proposals.
The Gremlin number is 119. The 30th Gremlin number is therefore 119/(120/30)
rounded up to the nearest integer. That is 119/4, or 29.75, rounded up. 30.
I am afraid that it is not my proposal which is doomed to perish at the
hands, or should I say at the teeth, of the Proposal Ingesting Gremlin, but
rather, it is Wild Card's Co-Commentator proposal that shall feel the PIG's
bite.

However, I suspect that this will not be an issue. The PIG's lifespan, I
fear, is in the process of shrinking drastically.
