Random question:  with this workflow, is there ever a self-ratification
that a proposal existed and was in the pool?  (not that it matters too
much because the Assessor's voting report ratifies the whole process at
the end - though as a decision not as a proposal - I'm just curious).

Votes below. I’ve decided to start ENDORSing the author instead of voting FOR,

Personally, I’d make it so that the Ref CAN and SHALL do it weekly, and people

Sorry about that, I actually had 2-3 process reasons (i.e. in Motions and
Moots processes) that 2 judges at once would break things enough to
violate R217 - I'd written up the first one (probably the weakest as it
relied on grammar alone) but that's where I stalled out for a while (and
delay was annoying the treasuror) so I just submitted the judgement
without adding the rest.

In the most recent ruleset, I only replaced the "earn", not the "earns".

Someone can CoE it, but in a couple of weeks, Aris' proposal will pass and 
converge the gamestate.


My options (1) and (4) would converge with this proposal, but the rest 
wouldn't.

 Sorry, my mind isn’t getting the semantics of your comment. Could you
 break
 down what you mean?


 The original rule text contains both the words "earn" and "earns", and the
 latter may be considered a form of the former (the lemma form).

 Then the question is, did "earns" get replaced as well?  If (1) no, then
 it is still in the rule (and the provision was buggy).  If yes, did it (2)
 get substituted by the same text, or (3) by a version with a suitable -s
 added for grammatical correctness?  Does this whole thing (4) make the
 triggered provision ambiguous and thus the amendment fails completely?

 And then for each option above, what happens with your uncorrection
 proposal?  (1) It's fine since "earns" was never replaced.  (2) It will
 turn what used to be "earns" into "earn".  (3) It will leave what used to
 be "earns" as "creates in eir possession".  (4) It's fine but redundant.

 Greetings,
 Ørjan.

 I'm wondering what happens to the word "earns" throughout these changes.
 Did it get replaced by the original provision, and if so, does it get
 uncorrected back correctly?

 Ørjan.

 Wait, you want the literal opposite of this right? You want to switch
 it
 back to “earn”. The problem is that the provision did trigger, and it
 shouldn't have. I submit the following proposal:

 //
 Title: Uncorrecting Rewards
 Adoption index: 3.0
 Author: Aris
 Co-authors: twg, Trigon


 [
  This is A.I. 3.0 because I don't know what Rule 2496's power is.
  Proposal 8127 "reenacted" it, meaning it acquires the power it had
  when it was originally repealed, but I wasn't around when that
  happened and it's not in the SLR yet.
] 


 Amend rule 2496 by replacing all instances of the text "create in eir
 possession" with the word
 "earn".

 Fiendish. (Assuming this works. People might want to CFJ your double
 earnings.) However, I think resolving 8127 before 8126 has another
 unfortunate side effect, it causes the last paragraph of 8127 to

 trigger:



 If a proposal by Trigon has not passed in the same distribution as

 this

 proposal entitled "High-level asset verbs", amend rule 2496 by

 replacing

 all instances of the word "earn" with "create in eir possession".
