Proposal
Players can cast votes on proposals by appending their vote to the proposal page. The vote consists of the player's name followed by "aye", "nay", "yes", "no", or some other unambigious statement of agreement or disagreement. A player may change or withdraw his or her vote, but can only have one vote at a time on each proposal.
A player shall be considered to be "in approval" of a proposal if that player has a vote in favor of it, or if that player made the proposal and does not have a vote against it. A player shall be considered to be "in disapproval" of a proposal if that player has a vote against it.
If the rules state that something can be done by "unanimous agreement", then a proposal to do that thing succeeds when all the players are in approval of it.
If the rules state that something can be done by "passive consent", then a proposal to do that thing succeeds if, at the end of a voting period, no players are in disapproval of it. The voting period will be 72 hours starting from the first vote cast on the proposal unless a rule specifies otherwise.
A proposal can only be passed as a whole. If a proposal contains multiple parts that the rules allow to succeed by different means, then the proposal only succeeds if the criteria for all parts are satisfied.
