From the archives (by memory):

PROPOSERS WIN THE GAME.
Good times. I created the first version of that, although I understand
people later rewrote it because they found it too unclear, not the least
of which because it was a Silly Proposal and so had to be in verse:
()()()()
There exists an imbalance. To correct this inanity,
This Rule is created, enTitled "Insanity":
An Interested Proposal is Insane, if it contains no minuscule letter.
(That is the opposite of CAPITAL, for those who know not better.)
For such a Proposal, until the Voting Period has ended:
there shall be no discussing Votes, or this Rule has been bended.
Nor shall a Player Vote in public, only to Assessor.
The Votes shall be unknown to others, even employer and professor.
And should it occur (due to greed or sin)
that no one Votes FOR it, the Proposer shall Win.
()()()()
(The "imbalance" refers to Sane Proposals, which iirc used
one-Player-one-vote at a time when it was otherwise easy to manipulate
voting strength.)
