I think that's great for Agora but if its based on a CFJ or tradition, that's more of the "implicit rules" (or "obscure rules") phenomenon which I dislike. Conditional-ing stuff is as powerful as a real mechanic imo, and one of the most powerful ones. Luckily proposals are real cheap now, and I get rewarded for making good proposals, time to make it explicit! I'll pend this next week once I get APs back.
If adding conditions to actions performed via fora is a mechanic which is explicitly acknowledged to exist in CFJs but not in the current Rules, I create the following Proposal: Name: "Conditionaling" actions is a very useful mechanic Content: Add to the rule "Fora" the following as a new paragraph at the bottom of the rule: "Actions can be stated to be performed conditionally, if such conditions are evaluable (by any player, with a reasonable amount of effort) at the time it is stated and at any future moment from then.
