Proposal: The Fish
Times out; fails 3-3. Ien.

Enact a new RED Dynastic Rule entitled “Hold Onto The Rope” with the text:
There exists an item called the Left Hand. Ownership of the Left Hand is indicated by appending the letter L to its owner’s Treason value in the GNDT.
Whenever a Citizen is terminated, that Citizen becomes the owner of the Left Hand.
Because the Left Hand is traitorous, a Citizen owning it should not vote AGAINST a non-Core Proposal (though they can of course vote DEFERENTIAL, allowing the infinite wisdom of the High-Programmer to prevail). If that Citizen does so, any Citizen or Officer can Demote him one Clearance level if no one has done so already; if the Citizen is already INFRARED, they may instead be given 4 Treason Points.

as this doesn’t actually specify that the Left Hand has exactly one owner.

I removed that in the case it has 0 owners, and the text says “there exists an item” and “becomes the owner”. It should be clear that it can be owned by one person only.

well, yes, but it clearly specifies that a player becomes the owner; if a later proposal wanted to give the Hand to multiple people, that would be fine. It isn’t possible in the context of this rule.
Kevan:
Ah, fair point. Sticking with AGAINST, though, because I have no idea what, if anything, “Left Hand”, “Hold Onto The Rope” or “The Fish” is meant to be referencing, so it’s not doing anything for me thematically.
scshunt:
In The Old Man and The Sea, the titular old man keeps complaining about his traitorous left hand. I thought that was entertaining.

I do not vote on out timed proposals, but - for some reason I seem to forget this Proposal - If I voted I would have voted AGAINST. So the result is the same.
