Well, the idea was that *buzz* if the player so chose, e could *crackle*
decide not to get the *buzz* bandwidth back, and get points for it instead.
The language doesn't *buzz* make that clear. The revision will look
approximately like:

Change the third paragraph of Rule 23 to:

"The polls on a Ballot have an additional voting option: Shelve. Shelve votes
are treated as No votes; however, if a Ballot poll fails, but it would not have failed if the Shelve votes had been Yes votes, then the proposal of that poll is Shelved - it neither passes nor fails, and is included on the next nweek's Ballot. If a ballot poll fails, but would not have failed if the Administrator hadn't vetoed it, the player who proposed the vetoed proposal, if one exists, has the choice of having the proposal Shelved, or having the proposal treated as Failed and receiving X points and 1 Style."

where X *buzz* is a good number.

By the way, someone (not me!) really should *crackle* Less is More *buzz*
Proposals. There are two dozen *buzz* rules about them spread all throughout
the Ruleset.

Also by the *buzz* way, we are supposed to get 300+ BNS at the beginning of each
nweek by r21, aren't we?
