This still does not have a cap (and therefore could make some proposals 
flat-out impossible), and it forces societies on the players.  Societies are 
optional, and I think they should stay that way.  We don't need everyone 
creating a 'me society' made just to get something on the ballot.  Yes, 
large props should require more bandwidth, but this is overkill.  Just as we 
don't need sand and glass resources, we don't need to have to go around 
gutting proposals (which may be good ones).
