Rather than attempt to modify JJ's proposal into what mine says... why not 
simply ratify mine instead? -- okay, I said 24 hours, but I didn't want to 
argue with that particularly. Anyway, I don't really care who's wordnig we 
use, so long as it does what I said, or what martin says JJ's proposal 
should say.

 Do we really need this? - I'll sheep if everyone else votes yes. 

> > 7: The Rule of Dispute Resolution
Unless Stumo fixes the errors I pointed out to him I'll vote nay.

As I said before, Nope. I don't like this. If you propose a rule, you 
should be stuck with it (preferably in the way that I phrased the rule of 
assumed consent.)

 No thanks. This makes all the players different in fairly immutable ways.
