It was me who first suggested the 12 support thing (it was shot down), but IMO that would be entirely workable in the case of a serious bug (you could probably find 12 supporters for fixing something life-threatening), but a scam that requires 13 people is no scam at all, you could easily force through a regular proposal that way. I'd prefer a working rule-change method than AIAN preserving a random gamestate from the past where it's theoretically possible to change the rules via some unknown and confusing method. -- ais523
