gollark: In what way?
gollark: So how's this:Create a rule "Bee utilization, part 1" (%bees-1):> If bees are deployed, they may be used against any player with a majority vote in favour of this action. If bees are used on a player they lose 1 point. Bees are not considered a resource and if they are deployed an unlimited amount of bee-related actions may be taken.
gollark: The WIP proposal, I mean.
gollark: So how do I add to the proposal to create a new rule?
gollark: I don't know who to believe.
