I will consent for the changes described by either 'A Planet? Where Players 
evolved from Lizards?' or the pair of proposals 'The Rule of Autoadoption' 
and 'A Planet? Where Lizards Evolved From Men?', but not both, to be 
applied to the rules.

I do, however, note that your proposal defines every single entity in our 
universe with the exception of the nine people on the List of Voters to be 
a lizardman from Antares IV, including, for example, the planet Earth, the 
nomic-talk mailing list or your own head (which is not explicitly named on 
the List of Voters, although it is a part of something which is).
