Proposal:
The Rule of Dispute Resolution
If a member of the list of voters ("the disputer") disagrees with
another member ("the disputee") on their interpretation of the current
game state, the disputer may state publically that they dispute the game
state, and explain what they believe the game state should be. All
members of the list of voters may then vote. The time at which all
members have been informed of the dispute is the "Start of the voting
period"
During the voting period, additional interpretations of the game state
may be suggested and voted on as with the original interpretations.
If within one week of the start of the voting period, one specific
interpretation of the game state has votes from at least two thirds of
the members of the list of voters, then that interpretation is accepted.
Votes may be changed or withdrawn within the voting period.
If one week after the start of the voting period this has not occurred,
then "the disputer" and "the disputee" must select a member of the list
of voters randomly, by drawing names from a hat or other process agreed
between them. This member will rule on the current game state, and their
decision cannot be disputed.
