Oh, ok. I missed that I got those points already, and thought that 
somehow a roll of 2d5 had come up with -1.

The actions happen in the order e takes them. So, first "Foo Bar" sends 
an html message to the forum, then e becomes a player, and then e makes 
a proposal. My point is that the act of posting the message necessarily 
happens before the actions within the message take effect.

Doesn't e have to join the Upper House first? According to the Roster, 
The Upper House has the following members:
Zarpint, The Pusher Robot, Personman, Wonko, Dyslexic Q-Thief, Iain, 
Phil, bd

Zarpint and Wonko are disqualified for being Defendant and Plaintiff, 
Phil is disqualified for being Under a Rock, so TPR, Personman, DQT, 
Iain, and bd are eligible judges.
