With only Warrigal as a party, it thus dissolves.

This probably invalidates your votes of SLAMA(2VP) on 5803-05

warrigal is right (modulo eir lack of playerhood, I think).  Remember,
Llama votes are not resolved by simple majority, but by weighted
majority depending on the proposal's AI.  Relevant clause, for review:

 A valid vote cast by a Llama of LLAMA (X), where X resolves to FOR or
 AGAINST, is a party vote toward FOR or AGAINST, respectively. A party
 vote endorses the party decision, or resolves to X if there is no
 party decision. The party decision is based on the ratio of party
 votes toward FOR to party votes toward AGAINST: if this ratio is
 greater than the Agoran decision's adoption index, the party decision
 is FOR, and if the ratio is less, the party decision is AGAINST.

Thus, given AI = 2 and three parties, one of which votes LLAMA(A):

  * If both the others vote LLAMA(F), then the ratio is equal to the
AI, there is no party decision, and the votes resolve to A F F.

  * Otherwise, the ratio is less than the AI, the party decision is A,
and the votes resolve to A A A.

 AGAINST, I don't really think the old version is a valid loophole, but
 this sure has the potential to be.  I can see what it's supposed to
 mean (the rule breach it alleged was at least 200 days...) but it
 could easily be misconstrued as making OVERLOOKED inappropriate if the
 initiating announcement didn't happen to specify when the rule breach
 occurred.

I agree that this could be clearer, but R1504(c)'s specific action
ought to make such announcements ineffective.
