 The difficulty in ALL win conditions, that 2186 specifies one set
 of conditions for calling something a win announcement, and that other
 rules say that it has to be a winning announcement with different
 (not additional) information (a win announcement that Proposal X has
 been adopted in R2188) is one worth addressing, I'm happy to take an
 appeals directive to address this.  I generally consider it additive,
 though I think it's more of a gratuitous clarification and wouldn't
 affect the actual judgement.

The first half of Rule 2186's and/or clause allows for win announcements
(e.g. This is a win announcement: Murphy is a player) that satisfy
Rule 2186's definition, but do not cause any Winning Condition to be
satisfied.

Proposal:  No more ineffective win announcements
(AI = 2, please)

Amend Rule 2186 (Victory) by replacing this text:

  A win announcement is a factually correct announcement
  explicitly labeled as a win announcement and/or clearly stating
  that one or more persons win the game.

with this text:

  A win announcement is an announcement meeting all of these
  requirements:

a) It is factually correct.

b) It is explicitly labeled as a win announcement and/or clearly
   states that one or more persons (thereby) win the game.

c) It causes at least one Winning Condition to be satisfied, as
   defined by other rules.

For it to be a win announcement it must cause a Winning Condition to
be satisfied, but the Winning Condition can only be satisfied by a win
announcement...

Circularity is great.

Circularity is easily resolved if you stop thinking of it that way:

IF NOT (IF this is a win announcement THEN someone satisfies a winning 
condition) THEN this is not a win announcement.

The proposed rule says causes, not would cause [if it were a win
announcement].
