Replace the text of rule 2-2 with:
{{
As a Game Action, players may submit a Proposal. Proposals are Game
Documents that list changes to be made to the game. Proposals may
have a Name. A Proposal is in one of the states of Pending, Open, and
Historical. A Proposal is initially Pending. A Historical proposal is
also in one of the substates of Won or Lost, initially Lost. The
player who submits a Proposal is known as the Proposal's Author.
Proposals automatically gain a Proposal Number upon submission. Each
new Proposal shall be assigned by the Administrator an integer
Proposal Number greater than all previously-existing Proposal Numbers.
A Pending Proposal's Author may revise its body of text and/or Name
by resubmitting it.
At the beginning of nday 9 of each nweek, all Pending Proposals
become Open.
As a Game Action, a Player may submit a Vote on an Open Proposal of
one of the words FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN. The most recent Vote on a
Proposal by a Player is called that player's Final Vote on that
Proposal.
A Proposal may, in its body of text, list other Proposals as
Dependencies. It is said to Depend on those Proposals.
A Proposal may also list other Proposals as Conflicts. If, in a set
of two Proposals, either lists the other as a Conflict, those
Proposals are said to Conflict with each other.
A Proposal's Strength is equal to the difference between the number
of players whose Final Vote on that proposal was FOR and the number
of players whose Final Vote on that proposal was AGAINST.
At the end of nday 12 of each nweek, the following events happen, in
order:
* All Open Proposals become Historical in succession, from the one
with the smallest Proposal Number to the one with the greatest.
* Each Proposal with positive Strength becomes Won; all other
Proposals become Lost.
* In descending order of Strength, and of Number in cases where
Strength is equal, if a Won Proposal Conflicts with any other Won
Proposals, those Proposals become Lost.
* In order from lowest to highest Proposal Number, if a Proposal
Depends on a Proposal that is Lost, it becomes Lost.
* The preceding event is repeated until it has no further effect.
* All Won Proposals Pass.
When a Proposal Passes, its list of changes to the game occur.
Proposals that do not Pass are said to have Failed.
