Proposal: Minor loophole fix

Failed by Kevan. Self-kill.

In the Arrow of Time rule, change:

Any Local Proposal which (upon Enactment) would alter any part of the Ruleset, except for the creation or alteration of Local Rules with the same Locale as the Proposal’s Locale, instead has no effect upon Enactment.

to:

Any Local Proposal which (upon Enactment) would alter any part of the Ruleset or Gamestate, except for the creation or alteration of Local Rules with the same Locale as the Proposal’s Locale, instead has no effect upon Enactment.

This is mainly intended to bar local “I win” Proposals. I’m lurking around and may or may not jump in later this dynasty.

against This is fairly meaningless; an “I win” proposal would probably be worded as “create a new local rule saying that Kevan may declare victory at any time” anyway.

This just stops interesting one-off gamestate manipulation. Or changes it into ugly one-shot self-repealing stuff, at least.

against There may be valid stuff which this excludes such as “Set the TL of all Travellers within 100 years to now”.

Anyway, upon Enactment, a Proposal’s status changes to Enacted, which is a change to the Gamestate outside of the Local Rules.
