Well, by adding oneself to the passive voters list one is implicitly giving 
consent for anything anyone likes to be passed, so I don't see this as a 
problem. In addition to which, if everyone is on the passive voters list 
the game is probably in trouble anyway.

In this case I declare Jota's proposal dead pursuant to Psmith's nay vote 
and vote aye on Psmith's similar proposal.

I only have a record of those I proposed, all of which you've voted on. I 
can't immediately think of any you've missed.

True; note that the website is not officially part of the game, however, 
and since the two phrases are synonymous anyway I'm prepared to veto any 
proposal that baf be demerited for lying about the rules.
