A proposal:

---
A Planet? Where Lizards Evolved From Men?

All entities eligible to be members of the List Of Voters shall be
considered to be lizardmen from Antares IV until a member of the List Of
Voters states "I do not believe <name of entity> is a lizardman from
Antares IV", where "<name of entity>" is to be replaced with the name of
the entity in question. No existing member of the List Of Voters is a
lizardman from Antares IV.

Basically, this stops us from being invaded. All new players need an
existing player to let them in. This proposal is obviously contingent on
some variant of The Rule Of Autoadoption being brought into force.
