What about this: we have repeated instances of a subgame each lasting a week or so, and some easy way to amend the rules of the subgame (easier than a proposal; perhaps without-3-objections) but the amendments only apply for the /next/ subgame. Presumably the prizes for the subgame would be things like points (working towards victory), proposal pends, expunges, and this sort of thing, so that not everyone would be working towards the same goal each round and the subgame was somewhat dynamic. We can start simple and make it more complex as the optimal strategy becomes obvious. Ideally it should be competitive in the sense that if everyone is aiming for the same goal, they'll get in each others' way. -- ais523
