told me that I needed to check the Ruleset for that.

But there was a guarantee. Rule 112

By the same logic by which one cannot propose to amend a currently immutable
rule, even if there is a pending proposal to transmute it, I do not believe one
can propose to amend a rule which does not yet exist.

I propose that rule 311 be amended by changing the text which reads the
Voter with the most points shall win. In case of a tie, all such Voters
shall win simultaneously. to all Voters having a score greater than the
