In the rule All Out War change the text

Should a Corporation feel wronged by another Corporation (or just feel like starting a racket), it may make a Story Post with a title beginning with the string “Lawsuit:”. The first line of the post must end with the text “Multiplier: $xM” with ‘x’ replaced by a positive integer.

Should a Corporation feel wronged by another Corporation (or just feel like starting a racket), it may make a Proposal Post with a title beginning with the string “Lawsuit:”. The post in no way can cause a change to the ruleset, reguardless of how it is voted upon. The first line of the post must end with the text “Multiplier: $xM” with ‘x’ replaced by a positive integer.

This is to make it easier to track lawsuits, i.e. they show up in the Proposals list and don’t get buried in a sea of posts.

Anyway, they only last for 48 hours; how hard can they be to keep track of them?

And just saying that it “in no way can cause a change to the ruleset” isn’t enough to stop the lawsuit proposal from doing stuff. against

good one.

Well, it was a thought.

Makes sense… a proposal can technically do more than change the rules, huh?

As an aside, you can create a category “Lawsuit” that is tracked on the right sidebar

against , given how easy it would be to slip in wording that would double your take from a lawsuit.
