Create a new Dynastic Rule “Amendments” with the following text:

A Lifeform may propose an Amendment by posting an entry in the “Amendment” category with the title “(Proposal to be Amended) Amendment” provided all of the following are true:

*The Proposal to be Amended is a currently pending proposal.
*The Lifeform that is posting the Amendment is the same Lifeform that posted the Proposal to be Amended.

An Amendment counts against a Lifeform’s daily limit of 3 proposals, but does not count against a Lifeform’s limit of 2 Pending proposals.

All Lifeforms may add votes of agreement or disagreement in comments to this entry, using appropriate voting icons (a Lifeform’s later votes overriding eir earlier ones).  Amendments continue until one of the following conditions is true:

*The Pending Proposal in the Amendment’s title ceases to be pending, in which case the Amendment is considered failed OR
*The pending proposal receives at least Quorum/2 votes FOR and the Amendment is considered passed.

If the Amendment is failed, then the Amendment has no effect.  If an Amendment is passed, the proposal it amends is failed, regardless of its location in the proposal queue, and then a new proposal, with the same name is posted, with the text of the amendment.

Amendments may make no changes to any Proposals other than the one in the title and may make no changes to the gamestate except where explicitly listed above.

Trial Run for .  (Trivial) since, by your own admission, this is an attempt to eventually introduce amendments into the core rules.

for (trivial)

Not tryin’ to get DNA from this, just tryin’ out a new idea

Axeling:

for not trivial.

An Amendment counts against a Lifeform’s daily limit of 3 proposals, but does not count against a Lifeform’s limit of 2 Pending proposals.

This is not enough to warranty a vote against the proposal, but with up to 48 hours for a Proposal to expire, this can lead to a potential total of 7 Amendments pending from a Lifeform. Maybe if and when this one get moved to the core rules, we shuld address a limit on pending Amendments.

good point chronos, were it accepted I’d propobably include something saying that you can only have 1 amendment per pending proposal

Amnistar: he/him

for (non trivial) (I like points and complexity!)

Clucky: he/him

Not trivial against

In other words, I think Amnistar should get points for eir proposal, but I don’t think e should get *that* many points. (I like the rule though)

So changes that need to be made from so far:

-Self-killing Amendments?
-Amendment Limit

Also, when this passes,could another Admin take care of it?  I’m not sure how to add a new “type” to the post stuff
