Proposal: Do the Shuffle!

Create a Dynastic Rule called “Lost in the Shuffle” with text:
This paragraph is deleted from the Ruleset 48 hours after the Enactment of the Proposal which added it to the Ruleset. Other paragraphs in this rule have no effect (as if they were italicized). This paragraph takes precedence over other paragraphs in this rule.
If a comment authored by a Musician who is currently active on a Proposal contains exactly one occurrence of a string of the form “Shuffle=X”, where X is a member of the set {-2,-1,0,1,2}, and the comment’s author has not used such a string in a later comment on that Proposal, then the comment is a “Shuffling Comment”, and the value of X is the Shuffling Comment’s “Shuffle Modifier”.
Zero plus the sum of the Shuffle Modifiers of all Shuffling Comments on a given Proposal is that Proposal’s “Shuffle Value”. Musicians who make Shuffling Comments should indicate the updated Shuffle Value in parentheses.
If there are any Pending Proposals, then the least value among Shuffle Values of all Pending Proposals is the “Queue Value” (Shuffle Modifiers, Shuffle Values, and the Queue Value may be negative).
In the “Enactment” rule, replace all occurrences of “The oldest pending Proposal” with “The oldest pending Proposal with Shuffle Value equal to the Queue Value”, and simultaneously delete this sentence from the Ruleset.
When this rule is repealed (in its entirety), remove all occurrences of ” with Shuffle Value equal to the Queue Value” from the “Enactment” rule.
Admin nightmare.
Hix:
Intent: Musicians can indicate in comments that they wish a Proposal to be adminned out of the usual cronological order. Roughly speaking, the majority wins, with ties going to the old chronological order. Except for WHEN they may be adminned, the rules for whether the Proposal passes or fails are not changed. There is a 48 hour delay on everything so that we don’t have to worry about making Shuffling Comments unless this Proposal passes.
