against These proposals won’t help if you want to replace existing rule text that contains the ungeneric words—you’d still have to state it explicitly.  What about just interpreting proposals as if they contained the appropriate thematic words in place of the generic ones?

comex: Yeah, but if the other proposal passes, it’ll be way worse without this than with. So it’s best to vote FOR this just in case it does.

against “Append” means “add to the end”, so nothing is “defined below”.

People who know BN’s history better than I do—we used to be able to do something like this. For a while AAs also changed the idle keyword (to stuff like Rotten for the vegetable dynasty). Anyone know when it was changed to only let you edit Emperor/Player?

for Remember this is conditional; only vote AGAINST if you’d rather have the other one and not this than have both. Your opinion on whether the other one should pass is irrelevant to how you should vote here.

Self-kill per Kevan. That’s what I get for writing proposals at that hour.  against
