Amend the rule entitled "Popular Proposal Proposer Privilege" by changing it to read in full: The player who proposed the proposal with the greatest F/A, as defined in rule 955, among all proposals assessed in the last 7 days CAN once earn one Legislative Card by announcement, provided that no decision on whether to adopt any proposal distributed in the same message remains open. If there is a tie, all authors of the tied proposals may do so once each. --- Title: Why Track Pendency?

For this decision, the vote collector is the Assessor, the adoption index is initially the adoption index of the proposal, or 1.0 if the proposal does not have one, and the text, author, coauthors, class and (if applicable) chamber of the proposal are essential parameters. Initiating such a decision is known as distribution, and removes the proposal from the Proposal Pool. with: A referendum is the Agoran decision to determine whether to adopt a proposal.
