>From https://faculty.washington.edu/kerim/nomic/cases/?3784, Judge Aspen
presiding:

"If a proposal fails to state that who is performing an action, Agorans
are sufficiently respectful to make the inference that the proposal is.
Thus, the proposal takes the place that a player would take for a by
announcement action, even if the relevant requirements are generally more
relaxed. It follows that a proposal, saying "I", generally refers to
emself, since e is the agent of eir own actions."

[thanks to Jason for finding this one].

I think that if this proposal is enacted, it makes a new proposal (a
copy of itself) with no author. I was expecting this to be disallowed
by some high-powered rule, but as far as I can tell, there's no
requirement for a proposal to have an author (proposals with no author
can't be created by the usual mechanism, but there's no security
against a rule or proposal doing so). It's possible to pend proposals
at power 1, too.

I'm not 100% certain it's possible to distribute (if challenged) a
proposal with no author, though, as the author is an essential
parameter, so a missing author would be a missing essential parameter.

I understand the proposal is flawed but Telnaior is space-bullying me 
and this fixes my problem.

It would harm the “free open world simulation” vibe that I enjoy from Space
Battles.

Also, a duo of players could still bypass this.

have a problem with versions being an informal system, but I like the
idea of them being out of the title; therefore this exists.

I also submit the following proposal, while I'm at it:

-
Title: No one likes a (space) bully
AI: 1
Author: Trigon
Co-authors:

Amend the paragraph beginning "A Space Battle CANNOT be initiated" in
Rule 2593 (Power=1) 'Space Battles' by removing the final period and
adding the following: "or if the prior Space Battle the spaceship
initiating the Space Battle has been in was against the spaceship it is
attacking."

In that case, the old and new texts were identical.  (The re-submission
was part of a scam attempt, I assume.)
