I submit a proposal with adoption index 3 and title {DEFENSE FIX Mk II} and text { Amend Rule 2357 by replacing the sentence beginning { Any Elder, with 4 Elder Support, CAN set the Adoption Index of any Agoran Decision with an Adoption Index } with { Any Elder, with 4 Elder Support, CAN set the Adoption Index of any Agoran Decision with an Adoption Index to Unanimity. }. Amend Rule 1950 by replacing the sentence beginning { Adoption index is a switch possessed by Agoran decisions, whose value is either "none" (default) or an integral multiple of 0.1 from } 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 9.9 or Unanimity. }. > 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.

I retract this proposal and submit a proposal with adoption index 2 and title {ANTI-SIEGE Mk II} and text { Amend Rule 2357 by 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. }. }.
