Proposal: Linear Time

[mostly in response to my recent Call for Judgement, as well as to assist in organization... not to mention the possibility that Players change their mind and enough votes are changed to affect the outcome of a vote]

Append to the rule "Proposals":

Proposals that have not been marked Enacted or Failed by an Admin, regardless of the current number of votes FOR or AGAINST, cannot be referred to in other Proposals. Rewards or Penalties created or altered in a Proposal shall only affect Proposals made after the Time of Enactment as shown on the Blognomic timestamp. Proposals that would affect rules that have been altered after the time the Proposal was posted are to be considered Failed.

In Enacting or Failing a Proposal, Admins shall give priority to the Proposals posted first, as shown by the Blognomic timestamp on the post. A Proposal may be enacted out of posted order only when the earlier Proposal lacks enough votes to consider it Enacted or Failed, and the status of the earlier Proposal(s) must be re-evaluated in between every Judgement of a Proposal.

[that may not have been the most eloquent wording, but I wanted it to be clear that an Admin must look back to the first Pending post in between the Enactment of each post, because in the five minutes between looking at "Proposal A" and moving on, somebody may have cast a deciding vote, in which case it should have priority]
