A player may expend one VC to increase eir own voting limit on an ordinary proposal by one.
If the proposal is already in its voting period, then this runs afoul of Rule 1950. Not sure what the a clean way to fix this would be.
A player may transfer any positive amount of VCs to another player by announcement.
This seems to conflict with "VCs cannot be traded" above.
Amend R1950 by replacing the text: {{ The voting limit of an entity who is not a first-class person is reduced by one. }} with the text: {{ The voting limit of an entity that is not a first-class person on Democratic proposals is 0. }}
This would give partnerships more power than they already have by giving them a free vote on all ordinary proposals and miscellaneous decisions (do we have any decisions that aren't proposals right now?) A compromise that might be interesting (I'm not sure yet whether I like it) would be to make VCs more effective for partnerships: instead of increasing voting limit by 1, a second-class player who uses a VC gets an increase of floor(sqrt(|basis|)) or something like that.
