I submit a proposal with adoption index 3 and title {DEFENSE FIX} and text { Amend Rule 2357 by replacing the sentence { Any Elder, with 4 Elder Support, CAN set the Adoption Index of any Agoran Decision with an Adoption Index to 8. } with { Any Elder, with 4 Elder Support, CAN set the Adoption Index of any Agoran Decision with an Adoption Index to 9999999999.9. }.
Amend Rule by 1950 replacing the sentence { Adoption index is a switch possessed by Agoran decisions, whose value is either "none" (default) or an integral multiple of 0.1 from 1.0 to 9.9. } with { Adoption index is a switch possessed by Agoran decisions, whose value is either "none" (default) or an integral multiple of 0.1 from 1.0 to 9999999999.9. }. }. Many potentially hostile groups outnumber us by more than 8 to 1. War with the Aerican Empire, which outnumbers us more than 20 to 1, has been openly suggested on Agora-Discussion. They may already have seen this and begun to prepare a pre-emptive strike. This proposal should therefore be adopted as a matter of urgency. I submit a proposal with adoption index 2 and title {ANTI-SIEGE} and text { Amend Rule by 1950 adding at the end the text { *Any Elder CAN with 4 Elder Support deregister any first-class non-Elder. This is a passive method of deregistration. }. }. Even with the first proposal, our defenses can be bypassed by waiting 128 days as a Player. This proposal allows Elders to deny invaders the required 30 days of continuous registration to become Elder. If we wait until we are under siege to pass a proposal like this, the invaders will be able to block it.
