PRESENT. I think I prefer complex but tested rules over simpler but potentially
buggy rules, but not strongly enough to vote AGAINST. Willing to change my vote
if I hear something compelling either way
> 8114 Trigon, twg, G. 1.0 Free auctions 2
FOR. But this might break; does an auction cease to exist when it is completed?

FOR. I create this proposal: {
Title: Law is Ambiguous Word Act
AI: 2
Author: Gaelan
Amend Rule 2531 (Referee Accountability) by replacing “law” with “the rules."
}
> 8120 D Margaux 2.0 Blot Decay
FOR
> 8121 G. 3.0 Retroactive Documents
PRESENT (I’m not sure this is necessary)
> 8122 Murphy 3.0 Middle of the road
PRESENT until someone explains the reasoning on this one to me
