Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposals

[Craig Daniel <teucer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I note three violations of time travel etiquette, but I don't think they
make too much confusion for the admin to permit.

First, what if five players vote FOR your ambiguously-colored proposal?

Second, your green proposal purports to destroy non-prime Everett branches.
It in fact splits any universe in which it passed into two, one of which
appears to be identical to B' for all useful purposes (but can be
distinguished from it by phrases like "if the ineffectual Proposal 1-7
passed").

Thirdly, once passed, the first two of these proposals will go back in time
by slightly more than an nweek in order to alter votes and text. (By the
way, the text alteration is also underspecified; proposal 1-7 may already
read "I have a suffusion of yellow reasons for disliking that mayonnaise",
though it very probably doesn't.)
