Proposal: Time, It Means Everything
Times out and passes, 5-0. -Bucky

At the start of “Victory”, add a new paragraph:
Each Legislator has a Timer, a publicly tracked integer that defaults to 96, can never be less than 24, and represents a timespan in hours.
In “Victory”, change “the author of the most recently Enacted Scoring Proposal” or “the author of the most recently Enacted Scoring Bill” to “the Current Leader”. Then, after the sentence that defines “Scoring Proposal” or “Scoring Bill”, add a new sentence:
The author of the most recently enacted Scoring Proposal is known as the Current Leader.
Change the first instance of “72 hours” in “Victory” to “the Current Leader’s Timer”, and “the previous 72 hours” to “the previous X hours (where X is the Current Leader’s Timer)”.
To the list in “The Veto List” or “The Mandate List”, add a new item:
Taking the first letter of each word of its title, and reading those letters in order to produce a word, gives a word that exists in the Ruleset, and/or would be added to the Ruleset by that Proposal if it were Enacted.
If the word “Bill” exists in the dynastic ruleset, change every instance of “Proposal” that was newly added by this proposal to “Bill”.
Adding a statistic that makes victory easier/harder (a lower Timer gives you an advantage). There’s no way to change it yet, but hopefully this gives you all ideas for ways to manipulate it.
The Veto/Mandate List change is unrelated and exists so that I don’t need to veto my own proposal.
Clucky: he/him
So there is a bug in the rules that I was gonna try and fix but you should probably fix here. namely the part of the rules which says “Once a Proposal has been enacted, it can have no further direct effect on the gamestate.”
So I’m not sure we can actually say “The author of the most recently enacted Scoring Proposal is known as the Current Leader.” because that is arguably causing that proposal to have a direct effect on the gamestate.
This gets us halfway to fixing the problem, but I think to be safe rather than “The author of the most recently enacted Scoring Proposal is known as the Current Leader.” we should say something like “When a Proposal/Bill is enacted, its author becomes the Current Leader” and then a one time “Set the Current Leader to the author of the most recently enacted Proposal/Bill”
