== Proposals ==

Proposals are documents that can describe changes to the game-state, including rule changes. When a proposal takes effect, its changes are applied instantaneously. A player can create a proposal in #proposals by specifying the text and, optionally, the class. If a proposal has no class specified, the proposal class defaults to Standard.

A proposal is active if the message in which it was submitted has been neither deleted nor edited, and has not taken effect. A player cannot create a proposal if they have already created four (4) proposals in that week or two (2) or more of the proposals they have created are active.

A 👍 or 👎 reaction on a Proposal message at the time when the voting period ends constitutes a vote in favor or against, respectively.

At the end of its voting period, a proposal takes effect if it is popular (as defined for its type) and is active. A proposal that does not take effect at the end of its voting period is withdrawn automatically. If more than one proposal would otherwise take effect simultaneously, they take effect in the order in which they were created.

=== Urgent Class Proposal ===

The voting period of an urgent proposal begins at the time it is submitted and ends two days after. An urgent proposal is popular if it has no more than two votes against it. Only reputable players may vote on urgent proposals.

Any reputable player may make an Urgent Class proposal. Urgent proposals should only be used to correct the game to its intended state and to maintain play-ability.

=== Standard Class Proposals ===

The voting period for a standard proposal is the phase that started after the proposal was submitted. A standard proposal is popular if it has more votes in favor than votes against. A player cannot create a standard proposal if they have already created four proposals in that week or if they already own two proposals.

Each standard proposal is an item. When a standard proposal is created, it is created in the possession of the proposal's author. A single standard proposal can create or repeal up to 1 rule, and amend up to 3 rules, if the proposal exceeds either of these limits it is automatically withdrawn. When a standard proposal is withdrawn or applied, it is destroyed.
