Not the one that I used: "I vote FOR on all Agoran Decisions in their voting period." But my main argument is that, however Agora decides to interpret the message within the context of existing gamestate (in this case, as referring to the decision to adopt the unacknowledgeable proposal), my message could have been sent, and had a reasonable effect, at any time in the last few years-- so how was sending it at that particular time acknowledging the existence of anything?
