Ah, my bad then. I didn't think of that being an issue (this also 
applies to G.'s comments). Although, I still take slight issue that this 
wording prevents the possibility of an instant runoff vote with 
non-entity options (which we might want in the future, but I don't think 
is needed right now).


I change my vote on Proposal 8199 to AGAINST.

The current "entities" text was introduced on purpose in 2017 by 
Alexis's proposal 7922 (Clarity Act).  To quote its comment:



[This splits off the portion of 955 that isn't actually related to
 resolution. The definition of instant runoff is changed to evaluate
 validity of options at the end of the voting period, and avoid
 retroactively invalidating votes if an option drops out.]


Greetings,

ID: 8196
Title: Perfecting pledges (v1.2)
Adoption index: 1.7
Author: Jason Cobb
Co-authors: Falsifian


[Comment: This clarifies the wording to explicitly use both the time
window and penalty specified in the Oath. This also specifies that
pledges can only be violated once.]

Amend the first paragraph of Rule 2450 ("Pledges") to read:

   If a Player makes a clear public pledge (syn. Oath) to perform (or
   refrain from performing) certain actions, then breaking the pledge
   within the pledge's time window is the Class N crime of
   Oathbreaking. If the pledge specifically states that the pledge is
   under penalty of a Class A crime, where A is an integer not less
   than 1, then N is A; otherwise, N is 2. If the pledge specifically
   states that it operates only for a certain time window, and if that
   time window is prospective and not retrospective, then it operates
   only for that time window; otherwise, the pledge operates for 60
   days. It is impossible to commit the crime of Oathbreaking multiple
   times for a single pledge; breaking a single pledge multiple times
   constitutes a single crime.

Title: Sane AI Defaulting
Adoption index: 3.0

Amend Rule 1950 (Decisions with Adoption Indices) by replacing:
   Adoption index is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran
   decisions and proposals, whose value is either "none" (default) or
   an integral multiple of 0.1 from 1.0 to 9.9.
with:
   Adoption index (AI) is an untracked switch possessed by Agoran
   decisions and proposals.  For decisions, the possible values are
   "none" (default) or integral multiples of 0.1 from 1.0 to 9.9.
   For proposals, the possible values are integral multiples of 0.1
   from 1.0 to 9.9 (default 1.0).

[It's terribly confusing for everyone to leave out a proposal title. 
Leaving
out AI only works if it's 1.0 anyway, and confuses me every time I 
see it.
I usually spend like a solid minute checking that I haven't missed 
something
as Promotor and that the proposal is effective at that power as a 
player.
Just making these fields mandatory would save everyone so much 
trouble and

be only marginally more work for authors.]

Amend Rule 2350, "Proposals", by changing the first paragraph, including
the following list, to read in full:

   A proposal is an entity consisting of a body of text and
   other attributes. A player CAN create a proposal by announcement,
   specifying its text, an associated title, and a valid adoption 
index, and

   optionally specifying a list of co-authors (who must be persons other
   than the author).
