 The proposal (a statute) caused you to earn a Black Ribbon, so the rule
 awarded it to you (fulfilling the security restriction on ribbon
 ownership).

I suppose that you're right. Good to know that the ribbon terminology is
inconsistent with not only other usages of the same words in the
ruleset, but also itself based on which ribbon is being awarded.



It's not internally inconsistent; one ribbon is just explicitly treated
differently than the others.



That was not my claim. It's not a case of internal inconsistency, it's a 
case of breaking the natural assumption based on the terms already defined.

It's not internally inconsistent; one ribbon is just explicitly treated
differently than the others.

As it turns out that was a-d.

I award myself a black ribbon.



You don't have to actively award it, so it doesn't matter.



Are you certain? The ribbon terminology is a bit weird but I believe 
that I do.


From the proposal in question:

ID: 8473
Title: Plain Old Bribery
Adoption index: 1.0
Author: Jason
Co-authors: G.


Every player who cast a valid non-withdrawn unconditional ballot FOR
this proposal earns a Black Ribbon.


I *earned* a Black Ribbon on at 19 Jun 2020 23:45. According to 
Paragraph 3 of Rule 2438,



  A person qualifies for a type of Ribbon if e has earned that type
  of Ribbon within the preceding 7 days (including earlier in the
  same message).
Therefore I *qualify* for a Black Ribbon until 26 Jun 2020 23:45. 
According to the end of that rule,



  While a person qualifies for a type of Ribbon:
  
- If e has not owned that type of Ribbon within the preceding 7

  days, any player CAN, by announcement, award em that type of
  Ribbon.


So until 23:45 on 26 Jun 2020 anyone can *award* me a Black Ribbon. 
According to Paragraph 2 of that rule,



  To "award a person a " is to add that type of Ribbon
  to that person's Ribbon Ownership. A person "owns a "
  if that type of Ribbon is an element of eir Ribbon Ownership.


I fail to see how any of this constitutes an immediate addition of black 
to my ribbon ownership upon this proposal passing unless someone judged 
a CFJ that said this and therefore overturned the literal text of the rules.
