gollark: What if we make it so that proposals are *automatically* passed when the rules state they should be, and directly patch the code of the bot?
gollark: What if we make it so that votes are done by allowing each player to set a few cells of the initial state to a complex cellular automaton, and then the output of that after a few billion steps is parsed into the result of the vote?
gollark: Wait, what if we treat passing/failing proposals as a 1D cellular automaton?
gollark: Oh, and also, pass proposal but translated to Latin, pass proposal 3 days ago, pass proposal *in* 6 days, and randomly reassign all rule numbers.
gollark: It may take a little while to do the necessary votes, but it would be ENTIRELY worth it.
