2: Rule Interpretation
> In the rules:

3 - Players and Subtypes of Players

> In the rules:

> A Player Subtype is a subset of players that a specific set of may, must, may not, and must not statements apply to. Statements describing a player subtype shall override statements describing players in general, except for those in rule 101.

> Players may propose rule changes and vote in legally described ways.

4 - Rule Changes

> Rule Changes

> > The following are rule changes:

> > > Enacting a rule. Each potential new rule shall have a number one greater than the last.

> > > Repealing a rule, which removes it from the ruleset.

> > > Amending a rule to read as specified.

> > > Archiving a rule. The newest archived version of a rule shall be kept in a list of archived rules. This shall not affect the rule in the ruleset.

> > > Reverting a rule. The current version of a rule shall be replaced with the archived version of the rule.

> Proposals

> > A proposal is at least one potential rule change. A proposal shall change the rules as described if it passes. Whether a proposal passes is decided at the end of the voting period. The voting period ends after 3 days.

> > A proposal shall pass if a quorum of players vote on it, the voting period has ended, and a majority has voted FOR on the proposal.

> Proposals can implicitly contain multiple rule changes and need not list them individually. For instance, a proposal stating "Replace all instances of 'a' in the rules with 'b'" is valid.
