R663/1 has recently been exploited by a player who was attempting a paradox win. This CSR will change the first sentence of R663/1 from "A player may declare that a proposal is a resolution" to "A proposal may state that it is a resolution."ThinMan's Comment:
I officially object to CSR 1.CSR 1 attempts to step beyond the purpose of the CSRR as established by R 695: "[...] to make changes to the rules when it finds that the rules, as written, do not make sense, are redundant, do not conform _in fact_ to their interpretation in game custom, or are redundant." The loophole in R 663 is unfortunate, but does not fall into any of the above categories.
Moreover, I believe that it is entirely possible to resolve the current situation without resorting to "magically" modifying the rules to fix things. Apprehension about this sort of thing is exactly why I supported Malenkai and his faction for CSRR officer.

Rule 695/1 is hereby repealed. The text of Rule 695/1 is below.----
Rule 695/1 (Mutable)
Office of Common Sense, Redundancy, and Redundancy
The Governor (Dan Marsh)(a) The Office of Common Sense, Redundancy, and Redundancy shall exist. This office may be referred to as CSRR.
(b) The purpose of the Office of Common Sense, Redundancy, and Redundancy is to make changes to the rules when it finds that the rules, as written, do not make sense, are redundant, do not conform _in fact_ to their interpretation in game custom, or are redundant. The Office may perform other functions if they conform to the rules. [The Office should make minor changes. But if it can get major changes past the, shall we say, review process, it can.]
(c) CSRR shall be a Functional Office with one seat.
(d) (1) The CSRR Officer may publish suggested changes to the rules. Such a publication may be referred to as a "Common Sense Report" or "CSR." The CSRR Officer shall assign a unique number for reference purposes to each CSR he publishes.
(2) Changes to the rules suggested by a CSR shall be limited to modifying an existing rule or repealing an existing rule. A CSR may not propose the modification or repeal of immutable rules.
(e) (1) If any player objects to the changes in the CSR within the Official Voting Period, he shall publish his objection. The changes proposed by the CSR shall not be made. This subsection shall not prevent any formal proposal from being made. [In other words, even if there are objections to the CSR, the CSRR Officer, or anyone else, can still propose it as a formal rule proposal.]
(2) If no player objects to the changes in the CSR within the Official Voting Period, the changes proposed in the CSR shall be made. The CSRR Officer shall publish a notice that the changes have been made. All Officers responsible for modifying any official rule set(s) [e.g., the Web-Harfer] shall modify such rule set(s) upon receipt of such publication.

R362/0 (No Dead Players Allowed) shall be ammended by appending the following as its final sentance: "This Rule shall not apply to any player who is on vacation, provided that player has placed himself or herself on that vacation."Kelly Martin's Comment:
let it be known that i object to this CSR, if for no other reason than that it would facilitate Malenkai's continued egregious malfeasance as Speaker with respect to Rule 362/0.

Result: retracted
In R313 "Proposal Bribery", insert the word "other" before the phrase "rule change" in the first sentance. [Currently, the bribe paragraph must come before any rule change in a proposal. If a bribe were to be considered a rule change (a description of a game effect) one might say the bribe paragraph must come before itself, which would violate Common Sense.]--------
In R405 "Speaker", replace the first sentance, which currently reads:
"This rule takes precedence over all rules."
with
"This rule takes precedence over all other rules."
as Common Sense would preclude a rule from taking precedence over itself.
