I would like to point out that neither of my proposals are even going to be 
adopted unless a large swathe of people change their minds suddenly and against 
character, so y'all are massively overthinking this...

As for the pledge, I agree with G., it's entirely unreasonable. The Assessor's 
ability to resolve proposals out of order (even occasionally for personal gain, 
although I confess I don't think I've never used it to the tune of 11.8% of a 
win before) is neither new nor historically controversial. And if you disagree, 
well, feel free to announce your intent to impeach me.

I see potential impeachment as an additional rather than an alternative

Your original intent was just to make sure 8133 was resolved before the
others in this batch.  There are no prior batches in the pipeline or
any reason in the current batch to go out-of-order.  You could just
say "unless e pledges to resolve 8133 before e resolves any other
decision".

If I were the assessor, I wouldn't make this pledge personally.  It's
far too constraining for a few votes, and as I mentioned there's some
good and valid reasons to resolve out-of-order, and 5 is a high bar.

Your original intent was just to make sure 8133 was resolved before the
others in this batch.  There are no prior batches in the pipeline or
any reason in the current batch to go out-of-order.  You could just
say "unless e pledges to resolve 8133 before e resolves any other
decision".
