Claims of error (or 'issuing doubts') are by announcement, and I don't
think this qualifies as 'unambiguously and clearly specifying the action
and announcing that e performs it'.


Good point.

 I called a CoE to make sure it wouldn't self-ratify. I don't think just
 listing the assumption does that.

 In the past, when I've published reports with assumptions like that,
 I've immediately CoEed them for that reason.

That still leaves open the question of whether a caveat in a report can
prevent self-ratification. It just means the prevention would have to be
all-or-nothing (for one class of asset).

The Treasuror's report included this:


* ASSUMPTIONS
  * This report assumes that shelvacu has not had any Agoran

I wonder if that counts as a claim of error and prevents
self-ratification that way.

If you meant to copy your own message to a public forum, it's
traditional to say TTttPF (this time to the public forum, I guess).
nttpf (not to the pf) is for telling others.

Amend Rule 2614 by appending the following sentence to the paragraph
beginning "The Prime Minister CAN, in an emergency message and with 3

Title: Minor Speaker fix
Adoption index: 2.0
Author: ATMunn
Co-authors:


Amend Rule 103 "The Speaker" by appending the following sentence to
the paragraph beginning "If the office of Speaker has been held
continuously":
  Rules to the contrary notwithstanding, the Speaker CANNOT object to
  an intent by any player to do so.

  [Explanation: Currently, if the Speaker has been Speaker for at least
  90 days, e can be replaced with support. However, the Speaker has
  the power to stop any intent, even one that is with support, by
  objecting to it. This would mean that the Speaker cannot be removed by
  this method. The office can still be reappointed by the Prime Minister
  if another player wins the game, but as is, the 90+ days method is
  relatively obsolete. The fix is to either remove the feature
  altogether or fix it, and I think it's a nice feature, so I proposed
  this fix. I've also just managed to make an explanation about 3 times
  as long as the actual proposal. Oops.]
