I have to let people know that I am not a reliably good voter. I will vote
for things which quite evidently crash the game; proposals which include
words like "chaos", "rampant disorder" and "wibble". I will vote against
proposals because I'm in a bad mood, or because I don't like your face. At
first I felt no qualm about my absurd voting strategy, including my tendency
to still anti-vote, because the number of sensible voting players
momentously outweighed me. Recently though, I feel a responsibility to
actually READ proposals; to analyse them for loopholes; I have even found
myself looking at the party chess rules.
Quite clearly, some players have to start voting again or I will plunge Acka
into the pits of eternal peril by retroactively giving all entities the
description: "It is green." or some such insanity.

um, hello?
Rule Suites are not rule defined. They are not necessary with heirarchical
rules.
Please don't be stupid.

I warned you. This is why more people should be voting.

I have this vision of a half-dozen Ackans showing up and confusing
things.
