It's clearly impossible for a proposal like this to accidentally destroy the ruleset, or other comparable important parts of Agora. (For anyone who's worried, causing Agora to cease to exist is, and was at the time, banned at power 4.) I wonder if it's possible to destroy "the agreement that constitutes Agora", without actually affecting the existence or rules of the game itself, though. That seems like the sort of thing that it might be reasonable to accomplish by proposal (perhaps if we wanted to enter a new legalistic era with no meta-agreement against rules violations), and AIAN wouldn't stop it if you assume that the game and agreement have separate identities. After all, anything is meant to be fair game for amending when playing Nomic (e.g. changing "the game ends when somebody wins" is what has allowed Agora to last so long, even though it's counterintuitive to the normal definition of a game), and perhaps meta-agreements are part of that. -- ais523
