Editing Round 6/Ruleset (section)

== 2. On Proposals and Turn Order ==
A proposal is a document designated as such by the rules. Each proposal has an ID number, a title, and a body (a string of text).

When a proposal is adopted, it takes effect and any actions described in its body are carried out, except as explicitly prohibited by a rule. A proposal cannot take effect if it has not been adopted in accordance with the rules. Proposals can have neither retroactive nor future effect, even if their text explicitly states otherwise. No proposal may refer to a player or group of players by any non-changing uniquely identifiable or real-life characteristic such as name or nickname, to give them exclusive advantages or disadvantages.

A player submits a proposal by posting a text message labeled as such (which does not refer to a document) in #proposals. When submitting a proposal, a player shall label it with its ID number. Each proposal's ID number is determined at the time it is submitted, and is the number after the previously submitted proposal's ID number (or else 1, if there was no previous proposal).
