Bug-Hunt 137 - objected to by CowJason

Amend rule 215, "Quorum", by replacing "50%" with "33%".

Bug-Hunt 138

Create a new rule, numbered 7, and named "[Mmm... Retroactivity...]", with the following @@@ delimited text:
@@@
[Mmm... Retroactivity...]

This rule takes precedence over all other rules with higher numbers.

The text of Proosal 417 (or Proposal 417 if no such Proosal exists) is retroactively amended so that, 1 second after it was submitted, the text which read "A Quorum is acheived on a proposal only if 50% of the players cast a vote." is replaced by "A Quorum is acheived on a proposal only if at least 50% of the players cast a vote.", and this rule is then repealed.

[This fixes the problem before it even began. Things like changing proposal to proosal and "A Quorum" to "Quorum" are handled by later proosals and BHs, and so do not need to be addressed here.]

Bug-Hunt 153

plugafewcivillians
