Proposal: Credit only where due

self-killed—Yoda

The second line of 2.5 Sailing currently reads :

Whenever a Proposal is enacted, a Captain may change eir Rank to the next or previous value in the sequence as e prefers, but only within the next 24 hours after the proposal becomes enacted. (The sequence does not loop over itself, so for example, a ‘7th’ rank can only move to ‘6th’ rank, not back to ‘1st’). This action is called “Bragging”.

Which I believe could be interpreted as “when a proposal is enacted, any Captain may…”

I propose that it be changed to read :

Whenever a Proposal is enacted, the Captain who made said proposal may change eir Rank to the next or previous value in the sequence as e prefers, but only within the next 24 hours after the proposal becomes enacted. (The sequence does not loop over itself, so for example, a ‘7th’ rank can only move to ‘6th’ rank, not back to ‘1st’). This action is called “Bragging”.

Actually, the rule was recently changed by proposal to “Whenever a Proposal is enacted, the Captain who Proposed it and any Captain who Voted FOR on that Proposal may change eir Rank to the next or previous value in the sequence as e prefers, but only within the next 24 hours after the proposal becomes enacted. (The sequence does not loop over itself, so for example, a ‘7th’ rank can only move to ‘6th’ rank, not back to ‘1st’). This action is called ‘Bragging’.”

Also, this change has already been proposed:
