A proposed rule-change, or proposal, is a motion to adopt a rule-change. All rule-changes shall be adopted if and only if their respective proposals are put to a rules-defined vote and they receive the required number of votes.
Proposals have properties. Other rules may add additional properties for proposals along with said properties’ default values, so long as said properties do not contradict the properties defined in this rule.
A proposal’s rule-change is the rule-change that will take effect if the proposal is passed. Proposals must have a rule-change, and a proposal’s rule-change may be changed if explicitly allowed and if the proposal is not currently being put to vote.
A proposal’s number is a natural number used for reference once the proposal is put to a vote. Proposals not yet put to vote do not have numbers, and a proposal’s number cannot be changed once it is assigned.
A proposal’s author is the player who created the proposal. If the proposal was not created by a player, then the proposal does not have an author. If the player who created the proposal leaves the game, then the proposal loses its author. A proposal’s author cannot be otherwise modified.
