Proposal: Approval Rating

Add a new Rule, named "Approval Rating":

"Each Player has an Approval Rating. It is percentage score between 0% and 100%, calculated by dividing the number of non-Trivial Proposals that a Player has passed by the total number of non-Trivial Proposals that that Player has made during the game. It represents the percentage of Proposals that ended up passing from any given Player. In the GNDT, this will be represented as a fraction, so that it is easy to update. The percentage approval may be calculated and displayed alongside this fraction, updated by any Player at any time."

Append the following to the end of the third paragraph of Rule 11, "In either case, the Admin must update the Gamestate with any changes required by the Proposal, and modify the fractional representation of Approval Ratings for any Players whose Proposals have just been taken out of Pending state, in order to claim the Points."

A new column (or table, if deemed appropriate) will be added to the GNDT that will track this information.

Any Player that has not yet calculated this number for themselves may award themselves 10 points for calculating their Approval Rating and adding it to the GNDT if it is done within 48 hours of this Proposal being passed and the GNDT being modified appropriately. Otherwise, any Player may calculate the Approval Rating of any other Player who has not done so on their own, and claim the 10 points for themselves.

[I hope this isn't too confusing. At its core, it's a simple idea... find out which Players are making the most non-Trivial Proposals that are passing. In some ways, that person's will is the most in-line with the game's direction.]
