Proposal: People do not like fees

Reached quorum 12 votes to 3. Enacted by Kevan.

If rule Oddities exists, change the last two paragraphs in rule Oddities to:

Any Station with one or more Oddities or a pending Odd Proposal related to it shall be considered Odd.
A Normal (not Odd) Station may become Odd only by Odd Proposals. Odd Proposal are posted in the category â€œProposalâ€, start with the word â€œOdd:â€ and do not count as Proposals for the purpose of the first sentence in rule 1.3 â€œProposalsâ€.
The only effect of an Odd Proposal shall be adding an Oddity to a Normal Station. Any Player may only write Odd Proposals related to the Normal Station they are in, if any. That Station shall be named in the title of the Proposal.

When an Odd Proposal is enacted, the Player who wrote it gets 2 Tickets. When an Odd Proposal is failed, the author loses 3 Tickets, and every Player that voted against it loses one Ticket.

Copied and pasted without the so much hated sentence.

Thinking about it some more, I’m not entirely sure that flooding the market with tickets, making hops much more accurate, is entirely desirable. Also I tend to take a slightly conservative view on incentives that affect the way that people vote.

The current rule already has the same ticket mechanisms - this is just (I think) reintroducing the idea that Oddities can only be introduced by Odd Proposals, not by normal proposals or CfJs.
