As per “Gamestate tracking”, we have:
Any single official post cannot be of two different types of Official Post unless a rule explicitly states otherwise.
“Type” isn’t defined anywhere, so I believe it must take the usual english meaning, which (by https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/type) is: “a particular kind, class, or group”
A “Voteable Matter” is a “a particular kind, class, or group” of Official Post.
A “Proposal” is a “a particular kind, class, or group” of Official Post.
Official Post of the Proposal type also need to be of the Voteable Matter type. However, Official Posts can only be of one type, and the Ruleset doesn’t explicitly mention that “a Proposal can have two different type of Official Posts”.
Therefore, Proposals can’t be made, because they need to be Voteable Matters if created, yet it’s not allowed for them to have two types. CFJs can’t be made either. This isn’t even a CFJ, actually, according to that paradigm.
Once “enacted” (after informally restarting the game), this “CFJ” (if it were), will amend “Any single official post cannot be of two different types of official post unless a rule explicitly states otherwise.” to:
Any single official post cannot be of two different types of official post (except “Voteable Matter”) unless a rule explicitly states otherwise
I kind of wanted to use this later on to do a variant of “Freezebullet” but meh I’ll just post it now lol.
Cpt_Koen:
The very first sentence of the rule “Vottable Matters” is:
This is somewhat explicit.
