Proposal: Let Golems vote (AI=3)

[Considering that Golems passed, we may as well allow them to do
something, even if it has only been two years (has it really only been
that long?) since partnerships were repealed.  This extends the
Rubles-for-votes mechanic to Golems.]


Amend Rule 683 (Voting on Agoran Decisions) by removing:

      The voting limit of an eligible voter on an Agoran decision is
      two, except where rules say otherwise.

Amend Rule 1950 (Decisions with Adoption Indices) by replacing:

      The eligible voters on a decision with an adoption index are
      those entities that were active first-class players at the start
      of its voting period.  Setting or changing an entity's voting
      limit on such a decision is secured with a power threshold of 2
      if the decision is Ordinary, or 3 otherwise.

with:

      On a Democratic decision, the eligible voters are those entities
      that were first-class players at the start of its voting period,
      and each voter's voting limit is two, rules to the contrary
      notwithstanding.

      On an Ordinary decision, the eligible voters are those entities
      that were players at the start of its voting period, the default
      voting limit of first-class persons is two, and the default
      voting limit of other entities is zero.  Setting or changing an
      entity's voting limit on such a decision is secured with a power
      threshold of 2.

Change the power of Rule 2364 (Ballot Fees) to 2, and amend it to read:

      A player CAN spend 1 ruble to increase eir voting limit on a
      specified Ordinary Agoran decision by 1.

[Yes, this allows arbitrary increases, but there is no other fair way
to do it with Golems, rubles are fairly limited, and Democratic
proposals (you can still explicitly specify Democratic, even if it
hasn't been done in ages) are exempt; note that 1 is only half of the
regular voting limit (which is a bit of a nerf for first-class players
who want to increase their voting limit on lots of decisions).]
