Could restrict that to "non-negative rational number".
There are currently no ways to make it irrational, and even if there
were, it would only last until the end of the week.
Amend Rule 2126 (Voting Credits) by replacing "voting limits on
ordinary proposals" with "the redistricting process", and by replacing
each instance of "VVLOP" with "NPD", and by replacing "BVLOP" with "DB".
The last sentence of R2126, which is the one mentioning BVLOP, is
redundant with your new "State Districts" rule.
Ah yes, I'll add a repeal of that sentence to the next draft. (The
major change from 1.1 to 1.2 was dropping the renaming of VCs, though
I still think we should use sheqelim and agorot somewhere or other.)
A Proposal is initially a House proposal if its Adoption Index is
less than 2, or a Senate proposal otherwise.
This repairs R2142. This seems to be the most significant content of
the proto.
It's a lot of terminology change for essentially no change in mechanics
(other than the aforementioned fix). Do you have an argument that your
proposed terminology is objectively superior to the current terminology?
"Ordinary" proposals are not the most common type.
"Democratic" proposals cannot be adopted with a simple majority.
Allowing a fifth vote per player on House proposals makes it
marginally easier to count such votes.
Allowing a second vote per player on Senate proposals allows
players to distinguish between strong and weak support/opposition
to such a proposal.
