I'm unsure of the legal status of win by proposal, but the Herald's
monthly report states under the Champions heading that eighteen players,
including yourself, have done so. Precedent tends to fill in where the
rules are unclear, so I submit that these proposal wins are effective.

Is it even possible to win the game by proposal? I don't see that
victory method listed in the ruleset, and rule 2449 implies that a
victory has to be caused by a rule. I guess you could make the argument
that rule 106 does it.
(This is relevant because you'd think the rule for wins by legislation
would set out a clarity standard, like there is for rule changes, but
there isn't one, so there's no standard to consult.)
Given how often people have been coming up with "win right away"
proposal minigames, and how many of them have been voted for, backfired
and ended up with everyone winning, it'd arguably be for the good of
Agora to put limits on wins by proposal (or on large simultaneous wins
in general). Wins are rather cheapened when large proportions of the
playerbase can get them by accident.
