REPRESENTING: Amnistar, ais523, southpointingchariot, Chronos Phaenon

In the rule “Involuntary Representation Service”, change the text

A Representation Proposal’s text begins with the line “REPRESENTING:” followed by a list of Players. This list may not include more Players than the amount of SP that the author has, or 2, whichever is greater. Those Players are said to be Represented by the Proposal.

A Representation Proposal’s text begins with “REPRESENTING:” followed by a list of names.  This list may not include more Players’ names than the amount of SP that the author has, or 2, whichever is greater; the surplus names closest to the end of the list are ignored.  The named Players are said to be Represented by the Proposal.

In today’s economy, we cannot afford to rely on our SP stocks or on other players’ activity.  These proposed changes gracefully handle cases outside an authors’ control that may cause a representation proposal to become invalid after its creation.

Note that the new version implicitly ignores names of non-players (e.g. idle Players and the Government).

for this is good - but one of the objections I here is that the “line of players” language means that if one name is not a player, the whole set is invalid, as it is no longer a line of players. This, or perhaps another proposal, should address that.
