I submit the following Diplonomic Proposal: "anonymous":
---------------------------------------------- Replace Rule 8 with the following: During the negotiation or order-submission periods, any Contestant CAN submit a proposal to change these rules privately to the Judge. Before the beginning of each turn, the Judge SHALL publish the texts of all proposals submitted during the previous turn. The Judge SHALL NOT reveal the identity of the submitter. Players CAN vote a proposal so published, or withdraw/change their votes, by submitting their votes privately to the judge, only during the turn immediately following that proposal's publication by the judge. The judge CAN and SHALL resolve all proposals on which voting closed at the end of the previous turn, before the next turn, but only after resolving moves and unit adjustments for that turn. E resolves the proposal by publishing the number of votes in favor of it; if the proposal has received a number of non-withdrawn votes in favor greater than half the number of Contestants, it is enacted, otherwise it fails. The Judge SHALL NOT reveal the votes of specific Contestants. If the text of the rules changes, the Judge SHALL publish the new rules text before the start of the next turn. All proposals submitted before this sentence took effect, that have not yet been resolved in some manner, CAN and SHALL be resolved as described above, before the next turn (after this sentence takes effect) begins; after doing so, the Judge CAN remove this sentence by announcement. ----------------------------------------------- -G.
