I'm not sure what this means. How do you modify "Attempts to perform the described action are unsuccessful." to apply to a gamestate change instead? "Attempts to perform the described change to the gamestate are unsuccessful?" The point of MMI is to make these definitions explicit, and we should keep them that way. > If the option selected by Agora on this decision is ADOPTED, > and other rules do not completely prevent it from taking effect, > then, in this order: > > 1) It is adopted. > 2) Its power is set to its adoption index, but no higher than 4. > 3) It takes effect to the extent that other rules do not prevent > it from doing so. > > Otherwise, it does not take effect. > > Preventing part or all of a proposal from taking effect is a > secured change.

Ideally, every proposal should be either fully effective or not effective at all. That may not be altogether practical, but at least we should not add language that would explicitly enable partially effective proposals. -root
