(@Proposal, Promotor) BUS: 82 counts too
(The current wording of rule 2680 is ambiguous – the reading in which
"the first time" means "the first time ever" seems at least as
plausible to me as the apparently intended one. This disambiguates it.)
I submit a proposal with AI 1, title "Ritual disambiguation", and text
In rule 2680, amend
{{{
When a positive integral multiple of 41 is anointed as a ritual
number for the first time, the person who does so CAN, by
announcement, Raise the First Speaker in a powerful dance around
the Town Fountain. Doing so causes each player qualifying under
this Rule to gain 1 radiance.
