Okay, here are my intended rewrites:
11. For the purposes of Buy and Sell Tickets, if the specified action
is to vote in a certain manner on an Agoran decision, a party only
fills eir obligation to take the specified action if eir valid
votes at the end of that decision's voting period are in the
manner described in the ticket. In particular, the number of such
votes shall equal eir voting limit on that decision, unless both
parties agree on a lower limit no later than the time the ticket
is filled.
13. A Sell Ticket to vote in a certain manner on an Agoran decision
also constitutes conditionally voting to endorse the filler (or as
otherwise directed by the filler) a number of times equal to one's
voting limit on that decision, or PRESENT (or as otherwise
specified by the poster) if the ticket is not filled.
Having thought about this some more, I think the "SELL(5VP) x 5" form
is too inherently confusing to be worth trying to salvage. The intended
changes should allow e.g.
"(Sell Ticket 1VP: cast one vote as directed) x 5"
for selling votes individually, while still allowing
"Sell Ticket 5VP: vote as directed"
to sell one's entire block at once.
