Proto-rule:
{A player may cause instant adoption of a proposal that has not yet been
voted on with A*P/(A+1) support, rounded down to the nearest integer,
where A is the proposal's adoption index and P is, if there is an
ongoing vote on the proposal, the number of eligible first-class voters,
otherwise the number of active first-class players. There is no minimum
time to cause instant adoption of a proposal; it may be performed as
soon as sufficient support is garnered. This takes precedence over rule
1728, section b).
When a proposal is instantly adopted, it is removed from the Proposal
Pool, any Agora Decisions on whether to adopt it conclude with no
result, and it takes effect. The Assessor SHOULD make note of the
effects of the instant adoption, but failure to do so does not prevent
the instant adoption from taking effect.}
Some rules may need amendment to get the precedence right.
